While Sammyk definitely jumped the gun and jinxed East, the premise of his post maybe true. Before the game a lot of folks acted as if Mallard Creek was on another level than East!! Or better yet, Charlotte is on another level than the Triad!! There's no moral victories in sports but I still feel that the Charlotte superiority on these forums should ease up a little. The whole idea of the Triad not being able to play "big boy football" was killed last night. It wasn't about strength of schedule or where the teams were from!! It was about two good teams battling to the end and Mallard Creek made one more play than East. With that said I feel the depth of Meck County football is overall better than the Triad but the notion of a good Triad team not equaling or being on the same level as a good Charlotte team should've been dispelled!! So while Sammyk may have upset the football gods, his message still rings with some truth in it!!!
His message was one of premature celebration and frankly it mirrored his teams performance. Last year they got up 2 TDs on a mediocre Providence team at home and had one of the epic collapses of all time. This year they waited longer to do it but ball in your hand up 8 under 5 minutes to play , sorry....championship teams win that game.
You girls really have to get over this " stop being mean to us, we played good" stuff. It really is embarrassing. You don't ever see the Scotland, New bern, Crest, Dudley guys doing that. You guys are constantly throwing the "triad" name in this. There isn't a single Charlotte guy on this board who has ever said anything about Page, Dudley, NG etc,etc. Its Forsyth county we make fun of and largely its because of posts like this one or the guy who started this thread.
#1 seed and in most polls the #1 ranked and undefeated team got the #6 2 loss team at home. Threw the kitchen sink at them. Fake punts, wide receiver passes, kickoff return for a TD and a call back on a INT in the endzone that may have been one of the worse calls I have ever seen.
Still couldn't get it done.
EF has a great offense . Their kids played hard, their fans cheered hard and their coaches had a great game plan. Offensively it might have been one of the better efforts against a Mallard Creek team we have seen ever. However your inability to run the ball and play defense cost you the ballgame last night.
Lets call this thread and Sammyk what it was. The entire county was in fact peeing themselves so excited about being able to come on here and other social media sites to let the " arrogant "Charlotte guys have it. So much so that you actually started posting your excitement 3 minutes before the actual game was over.... LMAO
Now instead of doing that we are left with.." stop being mean, we almost won" or on the other thread " we played hard, your fans are classless" . Gotta knock the champs out, you don't win on points.
