this is meant to be a HUMEROUS thread, so please guys dont take things the wrong way. anyway, we all have different ideas of what types of players come from different parts of the country based on sterepotypes. florida is where the speed is, nebraska is where the big farm-by linemen are, etc. anybody have any good stereptypes of other regions they'd like to share? ill start with one i saw today. for those of you who aren't familiar with new jersey, a parochial school named Don Bosco is the cream of the crop every year. they are loaded with D-1 talent and play in national games sometimes. they recently traveled to alabama to play in a 7 on 7 passing tournament at Hoover. in the louisiana newspaper (shreveport times) they were covering the 7 on 7 bewtween don bosco and evangel christian, and referred to the new jersey school as "Donnie Bosco" high school. i almost PASSED OUT laughing. (north jersey, italian sounding name, mafia, donnie brasco movie.... get it?) i thought it was hysterically funny and someone in new jersey suggested that next year we send St. John Gotti parochial school to set them straight. ;D obviously new jersey, especially north jersey gets a rep for organized crime and we have the sopranos to thanks for that,.,,,, but i still thought that was classic.

I thought anywhere in "corn belt" had big linemen. Just off the top of my head, it seems like a bunch of very very talented QB's have came from PA. I'm pretty sure you can find any kind of athlete from TX . . . i sure know Oklahoma University has won a lot of games with a healthy combination of OK and TX kids.

dont know how they looked... but they went 2-3 in pool play and then qualified for the championship round as #24 seed out of 38 teams. they lost in the ifrst round of the championship bracket..... i think it was 42-16 to a team from tennessee. sacred heart plays a consolation game tomorrow

Okay, I know a couple, seeing as your disclaimer and driving distance protect me from any Texans I might offend...  Despite the well known boast of everything being big in Texas.... Why does it rate last in the nation in jock strap sales!? And how about those Bammy boys? Considering their low rating on the list of SAT scores... Isn't it ironic that their helmets always look too small on their humongous heads!? And how about the dudes down in Delaware... Who? Exactly!!! Let us not forget our football friends in The Show Me state... Yeah... Show Me a single trophy!!! What about the rich snobby boys from Connecticut with the upturned noses... No, wait... that's soccer... Any one here from Maine? Ayep, their she is... "Can I bum a smoke from ya?" Nevada in the house!!! Oh, wait, no. I meant in the Bunny Ranch. And how about those kids from Kentucky!! Err... I mean cousins!!! Go Alaska! Yeah. GO live where it's warm! Does anyone actually live their by choice? Freaks! How about California? Go San Fran! Joe and Stan! Pete and Dan! Phil and Sam! Bill and Van! I didn't forget you... if you were wondering New York... @#$&! $!*)%&! $&!*!! %!+&@!!! of a @#$%&!!! And not to forget those in New Hampshire... Unlike God did when he was handing out talent!! South Carolina! Are those your teeth or are you wearing two chin straps?! How about Wisconsin!? Can I get some whine with that cheese? And last but not least, who can leave out New Joisey. *sniff* *sniff* *sniff* Ah, the sweet aroma state... What the hell do you guys do, fertilize the field yourselves!?! That's all I got, if I left anyone out, I apologize. I only listed the states worth mentioning. *hesitates before hitting enter* Nah, enjoy. Ya gotta love stereotypes... Mwahahaha. -Coach Jim |

there is a joke among coaches in wisconsin. they call wisconsin the W state because the only two offenses run are the wing t and wishbone. heck, the forward pass is still illegal in wisconsin. wide receivers are really called wide blockers in wisconsin. skill players are conidered offensive lineman.

From the Missouri Hills - OK, hate to admit this but one of my old ball players has a Dad that is also his brother -- let see if I can get this straight -- names have been changed to protect the hillbillies -- Bob was married for several years and had several boys - among them Tom. After Tom was in high school, Bob got a divorced and married his ex-wife's mother. Wow, does that make any sense - you do the math

I try to stay as far as possible away from my mother-in-law. |

The reason why Texas high school football is so good, is that all the players have been held back 3 grades.

Hahaha, Lionheart. I saw that you were from Jersey so I couldn't leave you out. Most of my generalizations were meant to be absurd just to prove how terrible they are. I'm glad so far that no one is offended. But yeah, Jersey.... well you know... hahaha I from CT so i've been their often. I only wish we were rich but the nightmarish prevelance of soccer is horribly and regretfully true. Probably like lacrosse in Joisey. It's funny but you're right. Unfortunately, in CT, hillbilly country extends from the borders of CT in every direction, outward to us! So I suppose the snobby part is probably and sadly true as well. Are you a youth or HS coach? I'm thinking a road trip to Jersey for a scrimmage is in our future!  GL this year, fun thread! |
