I used to coach every season vs Coach Richardson who now is coaching HS ball. He does not visit here anymore. We went at it for 5 or 6 seasons in a row to include a Championship Game. Tons of fun.  🙂

Mike, whatever happened to that game you guys were supposed to play in CO?  8 on 8.

We had to push it out to 2014 because our facility was being over seeded this year...a 10 week process.

We played our Jamboree there last weekend...already a great group of fields. When I showed up I wanted to lay down in the grass and do a snow angle....it was that perfect.  🙂

Alright, well let me know if theres any openings and the scheduling details.  If it works w/ my schedule, i'll gladly come out to CO & put a whooping on you guys  🙂

We played a team in CoachMattCs association in 2010. He was helping them out but he was not officially on the staff so I guess it doesn't really count. There are a bunch of Florida Pop Warner guys on here so it is just a matter of time. I know there are 2 this year in our weight division that if we all win our conferences there is a good chance that some of us will end up playing each other. Especially the other 2 as we wouldn't face either of them until the regional finals. They would end up playing in regional quarters or semis I believe. That is a long way off and not even a consideration yet. At nationals in 2009 Winged's team was in the opposite bracket that we played in so we came close. There is always the chance that we have played somebody on here and had no idea as I have only been here for about a year.

I have to say, every opposing coach I have created a relationship with I refer to this site.  I do not believe any have joined.  :-[

I coached in the same org as Cameron  Robinson  who was/ is a  member here. I heard a rumor that he left his previous org and joined a team in our league. But that is just a rumor as of now. I will see when we play that team later this season. I did hear that the whole national championship team went with him so it could be interesting because our 14 U team made it to the finals of nationals last year as 12U.

I'm trying to remember if there was a possibility I'd been on staff against another coach here in 2007 in the Big Apple Youth Football League.

I believe I've seen you at practice once at Evander

I had a similar deal last season against Tripwire. Not my team but they asked for my help in the playoffs once my team was eliminated.

Rob and I are at the same Division and age group again but unless we way overachieve I don't expect us to meet. Maybe I'll get lucky and get to announce one of their games out at Disney this year.  😉

Sounds like sandbagging.  😀 Either way, we all need to meet up at some point. We can make Joe bbq.

It may sound that way, but believe me I am not. I have seen video of everyone we will play in our division and most potential playoff matchups. If I do my job we'll do fine in our division. But, in the local playoffs there are some very good teams who have been together since they were 7 or 8 and coached by the same really good coaches. Having these kids for the first time this year and being at the JM level its tough sledding against those kind of teams. There are also some local D2 teams we simply cant hold a candle to talent wise. It'll take some real coaching magic to get past them.

I hear ya. We have a ton of new kids this season but they have bought in and the lightbulbs are coming on. Talent wise we should not be completely outclassed by anyone we play. I know a few that will have more but unless some crazy stuff has happened in the southern part of our conference we should be fine. I think we can pretty much figure out who will be in the playoffs already and will be pretty clear by week 4. The team we played in our conference championship last season is going to be a handful to say the least. This is their 4th year together I believe and they are very talented.

Talent wise we should not be completely outclassed by anyone we play.

Sounds like the stars are lining up for another great season for you guys. I can't wait until my first chance to watch y'all.

You'll never hear me make excuses about lack of talent, its my job to find a way no matter what. But, I just can't say the same thing about us when my backs are all under 100 pounds and I see video of another local team running a 4-4 and all 4 backers are 140 minimum. We just don't match up physically.
