Some ideas for Pboy so he can watch the boys in person.
I thought visiting teams were not allowed to do webcast? Wasn't it some rule by OHSAA?It looks like you are correct:
I'll admit, coming from you this made me laugh out loud.How about this:
Blank slate for everyone.
No more grudges, no more endless complaining about the same things. Just objective posting, with no intended harm. No ridicule of opinions (disagreement is fine). Respectful banter moving forward. I'm in.
Let's enjoy this season. It could be very special and something we'd be fortunate to witness. Deal?

In '08, Aquinas had WR Duron Carter and a bunch (I presume) of other D-I commits. Clearwater has WR Ajou Ajou and a bunch of D-I commits. Aquinas brought a fair number of guys (50-60?) while Clearwater will bring 30. It will be hot and humid Friday night, but Clearwater hails from the land of heat and humidity.
Will the travel and Elder's depth be the difference? Or will Ajou, who has high jumped 6'6", have a big night against the Elder secondary and be the difference in the game?
For what it's worth, I found this post on a Florida high school site, where last January they were listing out of state games for Florida teams:
"Clearwater Academy vs Elder,OH
Clearwater Academy vs McCallie,TN
Clearwater Academy vs Cornerstone,TX
WTF? Elder is usually legit. This is going to be an embarrassment. I'm not sure about the other two teams. Clearwater is a low rent wanna be IMG. This is not the direction HS sports needs to be taking."
Just one poster's opinion, of course, but he would pick the Panthers Friday night.
I estimate a crowd of 7,895 - mostly Elder fans. Advantage - Elder
On a positive note, it is supposed to be very hot on Friday. Not good for a team that plays guys both ways and only has 30 players. Advantage - Elder!
We sell tasty brats. Advantage - Elder!
How can we lose?
You have to admit, it's a little odd for us old guys (comparatively) to be on here talking about high school kids. I mean, it has to make you feel a little uneasy about yourself, right? I know it does me. A tad.
If I ever met pboy in person, I'd buy him a beer. Relax.
I’d like to know how many of those D1 recruits transferred in since last year. I don’t like the direction HS sports is heading, but I’d say the Mater Dei, St John Boscos, and Gormans of the world are worse bc they hide behind the facade of being normal HS teams. At least IMG and CA are upfront about being Football Factories.
Free pboy?Advantage Elder because it will be hot Friday, seriously? CA been training, practicing and playing in the heat and humidity everyday for how long? As far as Pboy, he not a bad person (hunch) but do the crime, do the time! If he was banned for longer than rest of last yr and did not threaten anybody or anything like that than that’s bs. Everyone deserves a second chance within reason in my opinion.
This heel turn you're trying to do in to some goofy, laid back guy is weirder than anything you just mentioned. And who are you calling old? I've got a few years before I'm even 30Jeez - cut the guy some slack. So much for redemption.
This is for entertainment - this stuff shouldn't be that important to anyone. It's just all of us goofball's opinions. It means nothing.

The football factories are few and far between. In all honesty there are not that many of them, there are far more in basketball and they have been around for decades.
The direction I don't like about High School sports are the specializing in 1 sport only. I think playing multiple sports helps develop athletes into a more versatile style of athleticism. There are aspects to baseball and basketball that help further football abilities. It's a shame we don't have a modern day Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders that play 2 sports as a professional to show athletes today they loved both sports. That's just this young old guys opinion.
Free pboy?
Can we dedicate the top row cheer to Pboy this week?
Coach Ramsey on the wcpo Dyer podcast again yesterday. Thought it was interesting that he said CA is extremely talented but they keep the things they do on both sides of the ball fairly basic. Saw on the LaSalle forum that the team from Mass. is flying to Cincinnati, about 65 players. Anyone know if CA is flying in or taking a bus?
I listened to that as well. Sounds like they run as simple of an Offense as possible for the HS Level, Inside/Outside Zone, and Play Action.Coach Ramsey on the wcpo Dyer podcast again yesterday.

I don't really go that often. I usually watch on the internet so I can complain rationally.
And yet you know all the inner gossip on Mom drama that happens during games.
I go every now and then. Maybe once a year. But most games I follow online either through radio or video.
I also used to go to every game up until about 5 years ago. I stopped going when I realized that things were amiss and there didn't seem to much desire to change anything. So I stopped my support.
No one believes this. You know so much about the tailgating and fan behavior at games yet you've been to 5 games in 5 years? Just admit you go to most home games.
I wonder how good their QB is at recognizing Blitzes or reading cvg. TBH, it really doesn’t matter what cvg you’re going against if you’ve got Ajou Ajou, but Elder needs to get creative in their Defensive looks. Do everything possible to get this QB out of his comfort zone. Force the CA staff to make adjustments, which is something they probably have had to do.CA D was pretty basic and only saw a few Blitzes. Course he also mentioned don’t have to get to fancy on D scoring 50+ Points a game.
