wow
can you be more wrong on more things in such a short post??
1) the saying that DLS is the #1 program in the country is nothing but fluff puts you in with the less than 5% of the people who would consider that
2) A USA Today 2004 article practically says they produce more top college players PER CAPITA than any other state is in DIRECT disagreement with your statement, I will take the USA Today over you
3) so Georgia won a COLLEGE Bowl Game about 5 miles from home while Hawaii traveled 5000 miles and that determines if a high school program is any good? Are you serious? I guess any little podunk Louisiana team (are all they all podunk) would beat ST X because LSU beat Ohio State .. is that the logic
wow you are making a fool of yourself

Since SLC only loses every 3-4 years we have to have something to complain about. Besides, pretty much every SLC loss is a fluke anyway.
I think in 2007 youe should change every few years to every few weeks
Which is a worst call.
Fake punt in you own territory late in the game.
or
Sending your backup QB under center when you never go under center to spike the ball on the 10 w/ time running out when you have a time out.
or
You have 4th and 2(or was it 3) on about the ten, not using your big back who has been money all night, nor your first string running back, nor your running QB, but the back up running back and pitching it 3-4 yards backwards to get short yardage.
or
Instead of kicking the XP at the end of OT to send it to the next OT, trying for two and failing to make it.
All of these failed and cost their teams games in the playoffs.

it was third and 1 on the 5
they tried a weak uncrisp QB sneak on third down
then they switched to a pitch to their QUICKEST back
what they USED to do in many situations like this was fake the trap, reverse back to the right and have the QB run the option where he could pitch it to the back, keep it himself or continue rolling out for a short pass
almost invariably the QB would roll out it and then break it straight into the end zone for a TD

I don't think you read the article.
Also funny that you would take USAToday's take on this, but not their head HS guy, Chris Lawlor's take on National TV.
wonder why....
What was the fourth down and distance?

I am really confused how "practically says the top per capita" and USA Today says "among the top in per capita" differ at all
oh I forgot

Don't prove me wrong, prove Chris Lawlor wrong of ESPN/USAToday, as you stated:
I will take the USA Today over you.

So prove me/USAToday wrong, (maybe suggest it was the Fox Sports Game of the week).
Thanks for clarifying. Makes it even a more dumb call in my opinion.

You forgot trouble making troll. Also, just want to note this has NOTHING to do w/Bosco.
The SLC/ECA game was on Fox Sports Net in week 2 of the 2006 season. I believe that most regional Fox Sports Networks (most likely all of them) picked up the game. Personally I know people from Ohio, California, Utah and Oklahoma who watched the game.

USA Today has rankings which are a lot lessed biased than individual fans and front runners and wannabes
that DOES NOT exempt them from making factual mistakes
I stand by the statement I will take the USA Tiday rankings and OPINIONS over a wannabe biased fan
AND
I Stand by the statement that SLC and ECU played on ESPN in 2006 and a factual error was made
Show me a DVD of the game
or do all 35,000 fans not own TVS?

about the best you could do under the conditions
sorry
and troll is not my term
it is a yappi board term for those that follow others around and harrass them and nitpick their posts
sound familiar?
STA vs. Lakeland after a big come back. This may have been the most logical of the four. He could claim they were worn out and didn't think the team had the energy, in fact he may have.
My problems and thoughts, and I am conservative in nature:
1. Fake punt. Pretty much all or nothing. You probably don't work on it that much. Make them drive the field. Who's stonger? Running the fake, kind of shows you are afraid.
2. Spike from the shotgun. Just dumb. You save the time out in case you have a fumbled snap or something? It's an XP basically, second nature for a team that scores a ton. Then you run a play from a formation YOU NEVER RUN, w/a backup??? Seem to be an overlooked bonehead call to me.
3. 4th and 1 from the 5 and you need a TD. Your claim to fame is the execution of your OLine. You have a GREAT short yardage back and a good running QB, and you pitch it backwards 3-4 yards to a backup to the short side? He may be fast, but there is a reason he is the third option all season. I am a fan of the QB over center/guard play in that situation.
4. Your underdog team comes from WAY back and sends it into OT. Ready for the tie and you don't give your team the opportunity to go on. Probably the most understandable call of the four.

No I was wrong. I don't feel bad about it. I feel comfortable posting links from sources like USAToday and ESPN. I try not to quote from half ----- links, and if I do so, I state that's what I am doing.
If the infos incorrect, its incorrect. No big deal.
Speaking of stubborn, are you still standing by the fact that ESPNU is not offered in Cali, although it is offered by DirecTV/Dish/Time Warner?
