They've become more meaningless now that star players sit out of them. Look at Texas/Washington. I think winning that game would've had some value for texas... Beat a top-10 team to finish the season 9-4, making a good jump from last year to this year even better. That's gotta help with recruiting. But then when your top two running backs, including arguably the best in the nation, both sit out the game, and your offense is handcuffed, and it kinda takes the luster and value from the game. You didn't get the win that would've helped your recruiting, but you got the built in excuse as to why you lost, so it's basically like the game didn't happen. I don't really like the state that college football is in right now with all of the easy transfers, NIL money, and kids sitting out. Maybe the NIL contracts can contain a null clause if the player gets kicked from the team or voluntarily skips a game. I'd also like to see some sort of uniform upper limit for NIL deals. It may not be fair to the players worth more, but college sports is going to be absolutely ruined as the schools with boosters willing to front the most money start dominating the college landscape.

So anyway, back to the game. This much needed win for the Raiders puts some added importance to their next two games against BC and Vidor. Sweep those and they're in a good spot to make a run at the playoffs. Split them and they're still plenty alive. Get swept and they're in trouble. The middle of this district is certainly a lot more interesting than the top right now. I'm also curious to see if LCM can right the ship. It really did seem like a foregone conclusion for most that LCM was going to easily finish top-3 in this district. I still expect that, but they're going to have to figure some stuff out.

You're funny, I'll give you that.

why would they need to do that?

same.

Congrats to him on an important win. I never said anyone sucks, but let's not get overinflated about a win over the 3rd best team in district, either.

Important win for lumberton. certainly helps their playoff chances. big games against BC and vidor coming up.

Sounds like I was on to something. Glad I could inspire them with my belief that they could win this one.

What are the odds he gets charged in this one?? The second volley of four shots was borderline, but I think he gets away with them (although I could see a cop getting charged for them). That coupe de grace at the end doesn't bode well.

That LCM result last week really surprised me. If BC channels some of that they can beat vidor, who hasn't been playing particularly well, losing their last four, including by 17 to LCM, who BC just beat. Up until a week ago I thought Vidor had a clear shot at the #4 spot in the district, but there seems to be some competition now.

Big playoff implications in this one. Going to be a fun race for the 3 and 4 spot in this district. BC got a huge win against LCM last week, and now Vidor could really use a big win against BC.

They're the real deal. 22-2 now, with a 4-point loss to Evadale who's 21-4, and a 1-point loss to FBCHA who's 23-3.

would be my guess. Intoxicated, maybe high, half asleep, not entirely sure you're seeing what you're seeing and hearing what you're hearing. Maybe just kinda blow it off as an argument in the other room.

if he was a democrat this thread would be 6 pages long by now. Literally one conservative on the site halfway condemns him? I haven't really spent any time in the political thread in a couple of weeks, but I thought surely there would be a lively thread on George Santos. Boy was I wrong. What an embarrassment this guy is, and this is way beyond the typical lies a politician tells to get elected. He has no business serving a single day as a representative.

Nice win for sure. BU continues to excede my expectations, and they were high to being with

Gotta GCM credit for playing a heck of a pre-district schedule. It seems to be paying off with their 3-0 start in district, and they haven’t gotten to the easier district games yet

At this point I’ll lock it up. Enough has been said all around, and I’ll admit my role in it. It’s way off the rails.

Appreciate the vote of confidence.

Either that or a son with the same name who’s posting on the same thread. That is a possibility. I don’t know you personally. If not, it would be a heck of a coincidence to have two accounts with emails containing the same uncommon name posting in the same thread a few posts apart. And as I said previously, I’m done with the other.

For years we were able to see IP addresses from where people were posting. Like schools during the work day. We’re also able to see when the same or very similar email accounts make multiple accounts (like yours). In the past, other people contacted mods on here (people higher than me with excellent sources) saying it was happening, people that aren’t involved in the conversation, but giving specific names and user names. And there’s all the circumstantial stuff, like the new account that sprung up yesterday (there’s at least 5 or 6 of those now) and posted until about 15 minutes before tip off, and hasn’t posted since. Im confident that if it came to it it wouldn’t be very difficult to prove what I’m saying. That said, I’m done with it. I’m glad he’s doing good things for the kids over there, which is the honest truth, and agree lumberton basketball has improved substantially since he arrived, and will leave it at that.

Anyway, I’m over this particular thread at this time. Feel free to carry on without me.

Would be a fun one in their prime.

Appreciate the transparency. Seriously. He’s done good things over there. I’m glad he’s helping kids, and glad he’s found some success. Truly. But nothing will change my mind that it’s BS for a coach to get on here pretending to be someone else and criticize other coaches while tooting his own horn. And then create more accounts to “back up” his posts. I’m sure he’s a great guy, though. He certainly has a few devoted fans on here, although it’s always tough to figure the real ones from the spam accounts. Id be curious what “slander” has occurred. Having an opinion, or posting records, or questioning how much success determines elite? The “not mitchell” and mitchell fan club accounts have certainly said as bad or worse about Davis.

Fogo is a very good coach, but I’d say not winning a state championship over the last 3 years with that team was a bigger deal that Davis not being able to beat the AAU teams in the 2nd or 3rd round most years

F around and find out, I guess.
