In two years, we hire a new coach, and the first year he takes us to the state quarterfinals, and this year my school is ranked top 5 in the state for football. It's like the second I leave, things stop sucking.

that happened to me too :lol:

and the year after i left the cross country team went onto back to back provincials after the 2 teams i was on finished 2nd at provs 2 years in a row.

See, you could see it coming though, you had a good cross country team. My school, however, would win two games a year when I went there. Hell, our punter led the state in most punts kicked all season for four straight years. Four! That is horrible!

But the second I get my piece of paper saying I am smart, my school gets good. It was like the class of 2002 was like a bad relationship. The second we leave, the school (the woman) drops 20lbs, her boobs look nicer, her ass is tighter, and she starts putting out to all comers, except for us, because we got sick of her and left. That is what it feels like. I was betrayed. I had to root for my school's soccer team in the fall because football was a sick joke of a sport. Like I said, I feel betrayed.

i was still pissed :lol:

my first year running, (my junior year) we were originally announced as the winners of the provincials accidently and then it was recanted and announced we came second to some private school.. (we lost by 6 points)
the next year we were gonna go out there and kick their asses and not let them make any mistakes and win it all.. we were destroyed. :lol:

(we lost by 30 or so pts)

it's opposite for me. when i was a freshman/sophomore, the team was good, but never made the playoff's. we went 8-2 and didn't go my fresh. year and 5-5 my sophomore year. this school has a big ass football tradition.

my junior year at another school i played varsity ball, and we turned it around from a 2-8 ball club to a 5-5 my junior year and a 7-3 my senior year with a district championship and a trip to the playoffs. the town was a baseball town, big on baseball state ranked and everything, we turned that son of a bitch into a football town for two years, then after i left it went back to shit.

now the 1st school lost to a team that never beat them in 50 years. the empire is crumbling.

i just picked up the dallas D out of desperation. oh and if anyone wants deuce staely, you can find him in the ditch i left him in.

Sufjan Stevens · Post by **Sufjan Stevens** » 9/24/2003, 11:11 am

Don't feel bad, that's where he belongs, with Curtis Martin and whatever quarterback I decide to start each and every week. Here's my QB situation:

Rich Gannon, Drew Bledsoe, Matt Hasselback, Trent Green, and Tim Rattay are all on my team. I picked up Tim Rattay as a joke for my friends in the league. I wanted to pick up Jim Druckenmiller, but he's too busy raping the ladies to do anything related to football. Anyways, who should I start this week? Hasselback has the week off, and Rattay blows and will never ever start a game. So who should I pick?

gannon has given you no reason whatsoever to start him.
I would say green, but kc runs the ball a lot, so it's a tossup between green and bledsoe.

well he hasn't thrown an interception yet....

Sufjan Stevens · Post by **Sufjan Stevens** » 9/24/2003, 4:50 pm

Well, the league runner guy didn't make interceptions a negative point total. So in all reality, I should have just drafted Peyton Manning. All he does is throw touchdowns or interceptions. There's no middle ground.

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 9/24/2003, 5:13 pm

why do you have 5 quarterbacks anyways? How many players do you have on your team??

Sufjan Stevens · Post by **Sufjan Stevens** » 9/24/2003, 10:21 pm

20, I think. The league owner guy decided he wanted to pick more players up, so he expanded the rosters. And I picked up oodles of bad quarterbacks, apparently.

Dr. Hobo · Post by **Dr. Hobo** » 9/25/2003, 2:05 am

who are the bills playing this week?
im too lazy to check
but my bet would be go w/ bledsoe

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 9/25/2003, 6:26 am

a hurting philadelphia defense. I'm starting bledsoe. Not that I have a choice, my other quarterback is Brad Johnson and he's on bye.

doug · Post by **doug** » 9/25/2003, 9:14 am

as i said at the league site i am trying to trade David Boston. The guy could explode any day now but it's been three games, and in the two that he has played he has done nada... obviously this fact greatly reduces his trade value but oh well.

i am willing to put him in a package with a quaterback, because i am four deep at QB. also, if anybody wants Faulk, i will trade his ass for a napkin.

have a look at my team and somebody make me an offer, please please pretty please.

EDIT: Boston and Faulk are traded because i got a deal i liked but i still want to trade Gannon or Garcia.

You guys are talking like it's typical for Bledsoe to suck...Jeez, you're worse than Buffalo fans. Ha.

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 9/25/2003, 10:46 am

who said that? Bledsoe rules!

Neil · Post by **Neil** » 9/25/2003, 3:16 pm

Did anybody else hear anything about Moulds being on the radio a few days ago talkin shit about Bledsoe?? :lol:

He best watch out, Bobby Shaw is taking over #2 since Josh Reed has no hands.

Boston and Faulk aren't traded yet, I have to determine that. Does anybody oppose this trade?? Being that Faulk is out 4-6 weeks, I dunno I'm questioning this one...

Awwww hell, I'm passing it through, Corey can sit on Faulk until around week 12 :lol:

Corey · Post by **Corey** » 9/25/2003, 3:32 pm

hey you watch, he'll be back in time for the playoffs and I'm going to whoop on ya'll

doug · Post by **doug** » 9/25/2003, 4:01 pm

i just needed to get him off my team so i can make some moves and try and qualify for the playoffs.

and i think Lamar Gordon will take Marshall's job, because I think Marshall has lost it.
