Also beat a 10-4 Murphy team that beat a 1aa swain team that went to the 4th round. That is what folks will remember because that is the facts. Robbinsville never beating a good Swain team is what you say to make yourself sleep good at night. Rville beat swain 4 years in a row. Bad. Are you telling me Swain couldnt put a good team together in that span. 1aa Swain with the highest playoff win % in North Carolina? Not buying it.
Robbinsville had some bad years mid to late 90s and the first part of the 2000s with only a few good teams dotted here and there. But that is not the Robbinsville teams that you have seen for the last decacde.(5-5 vs Swain) It is different now. And yeah Swain will do good vs SMC teams. You should, swain has double the kids than the other schools. Oh and Rville took a 4th round 1aa swain team into overtime last year. Gift wraped that one for one. I guess you guys wasnt any good that year either.
When has Swain ever beat a good Rville team? Not average. lol. And you got twice the kids to pick from and another school. Well not now. I am just ribbing you. lol.
I honestly dont know what our records were the years you guys have beat us. I would wager they were not real good in relation to our standard teams. That is all I am saying. The years you brought up that you beat us 4 years in a row what was our records those years? I don't know but I am betting that is in the era starting in 2005 and yes we had some very down teams for a variety of reasons. You keep going to the 5-5 over the last decade. Like I said go back 30 years and tell me the record. You are 5-5 with four of those wins coming in a row over very poor Swain teams following the 2004 state title. We went through a 5 year stretch there that was as low as we could have gotten which makes our playoff win percentage even that much more impressive. We have been arguably the most consistent program in the 1A ranks since the 1980s, but that doesn't mean we haven't hit a couple of low stretches. You have said it yourself, it is hard for 1A teams to rebuild sometimes and talent comes in waves. It happens.
And now you do the same thing that you mocked Swain fans for saying you gift wrapped a win for us. Come on BK we all know you are the king of trying to have it both ways. According to you we didn't gift wrap yall anything but yet we force a turnover in overtime and we gift wraped it for yall. Makes alot of sense there. You also mocked Murphy for being able to list and play several guys at tailback and cried around saying a real 1A school couldn't do that. Then you get on here asking help with rememebering all your linemens' names because you guys have enough to platoon across the offensive and defensive lines. Really?! You can't keep calling out Swain and Murphy when we beat yall and say it is only cause of our numbers, and then when you beat us occassionally thump your chest and act like you beat the kings of the world when the facts are I would bet that the years you have beat us we have been in rebuilding mode and you guys have fielded some of your better teams. Simple question would you agree with that? Answer yes or no. Before you go into everything I am not disputing we have a higher enrollment. It should help us but you are holding on to the past to much. It aint the days of Philips and Jordan anymore and the split classifications have given you guys a chance once again. That makes this run by the current knights even that much more special IMO. I am pulling for the knights. I only have an issue with you trying to have it both ways in order for it to fit your argument at the time however irrational it might be.
