Title: Jones FL traveling to play Santa Margarita CA
Post by: Nolebull813 on Feb 20, 2026, 01:54 PM
Gonna be a tall task. Cali guys what does SM return? Losing transfers? Gaining transfers?

Jones loses everyone on offense who accounted for about 5,000 yards. Not sure why they would travel to play such a high caliber team when they lose everyone off a team who wasn't even top 25 in the state.

I guess when you lose your 2800 yard passer and 28 touchdowns, top two running backs who ran for almost 2000 combine yards, and two receivers who each had 1000 yards that's when you pull the trigger on playing a national top 10 team. Lol.

If Jones can get about 10 transfers all that have D1 offers in hand they could make it a game. The Orlando area does have kids moving all around like every other big city. So it's possible. Especially for anyone wanting to get a trip out to Cali.

But losing literally every starter on offense from a team that wasn't even top 25 in state is blowout city. Still a lot of time left to accumulate some talent

Welcome to Florida high school football.

Bitch about a MaxPreps rating, bitch about losing some starters..... b**** about this and that and that and this.

BUT, if said team (whoever) can pick up 10 or 15 transfers the game might be competitive!

Sums that weak ass shit up!

No the problem Florida has is the teams will sign up for any game against top 5-10 national teams regardless of what kind of team they have.

They would need the transfers simply because they lose EVERYONE. That's not hyperbole or sandbagging. Go look at their stats. They lose a 2800 yard passer and 28 TD and no on under him has any yards. They lose the top 2 rushers with the starter gaining 1300 yards and 20 TD. And they lose 2 receivers who both had over 1000 yards

those are all facts that anyone can go look up who has Internet access. And I'm not sure any ranking had them inside the state top 20.

So if you were just a normal person, and not a brain, dead troll, on the outside, looking in with absorbing all the facts and knowledge, you would see that this game should be a huge blowout. And saying they need 10 transfers what kind of apply to any team that is going to be that big of an underdog. It's kind of rhetorical.

And a team can be 15th in a state and be a quality team. Not garbage. Good coaching. Some decent athletes. Overall solid program. Nothing to complain about. But if they play the number 1-3 teams in the entire nation with D1 at every position the game will be a blowout most likely.

And predicting  blowout isn't sandbagging or trolling.

How many teams in the country outside the national top 100 do you expect to give the number 1-3 teams in the country a down to the wire game?

The problem is you have punk pussies like red flag who honestly believe in their heart that teams like Los Angeles Cathedral are the same as Santa Margarita just because they come from the same state.

So he would honestly tell you that Jones should be able to beat Santa Margarita just like John Curtis can against cathedral.

He honestly believes that Oak Grove, Mississippi, Stephenville, Madison, is no different than Bishop Gorman, Mater Dei, SFA etc etc

He honestly believes it. It's the craziest thing I have ever seen on a message board.

Since 2015 Jones is 1-3 in OOS games.

They were running clocked 3 times by:

Duncanville, TX
Good Counsel, MD
St John's, DC

The only team Jones has ever defeated OOS is Johns Creek, GA.
After the Santa Margaritaville game Jones will be 1-4 in OOS games with 4 running clock losses!.

Think about that how hard it would be to lose 11 out of state games in six years you win state championship. You have to be going out of your way to lose. Lol.

That's why it is a national record that will never be broken.

It's kind of jaw dropping how evangel won three state championships in a row and lost 8 games total in the 3 years and all 8 were to OOS teams!!!!

Do you know who did lose during a championship year? Jones. Lol.

Crazy. With no research and just memory alone, I can remember vividly that Curtis and Evangel combined to win 9 Louisiana State Championships during a 12 year stretch and lost a combined FOURTEEN OUT OF STATE GAMES!!!!!!!

Madness. 14 OOS losses during their 9 championship years

In Lousiana it was called the "Deadly Dozen" a 12 year stretch that 9 state championship teams from Evangel and Curtis got their skirts lifted by OOS teams. Ask anyone in Lousiana who follows football about the deadly dozen. They will just shake their head and keep moving!!

Red Zone made multiple threads about top Lousiana teams beating Legacy Museum of Science.

St Augustine finished 4th in Lousiana and let Legacy of Science drop 41 on them and he bragged like they won the Super Bowl

Legacy Science finished 109th in Texas. And you would have thought Red Flags team won the championship. He was giddy to the point he was posting multiple threads about it. Chest thumping.

Baton Rouge Catholic finished 4th in Louisiana and lost to a MAIS MISSISSIPPI TEAM!!!!

Neville was top 7 at the time they let a Mississippi team put a running clock on them who wasn't even ranked top 10 in their class by the largest state newspaper!!!!

The experts have Jones a 42 point underdog vs Santa Margaritaville....... if Jones picks up 10 to 20 transfers the experts have Jones a 39 point underdog.

A lot of that has to do with Florida's OOS performance last year. No state has ever performed worse.
I get it!

Alexandria better beat Bryant this year. Same exact type of matchup.


In fact Lousiana better win one of the very few OOS games they play this year

Catholic vs Carrollton
Curtis vs North Shore
Alexandria vs Bryant


Which Lousiana team wins? When Catholic loses it will be ignored until they beat Legacy!! LMAO!

Lousiana played 4 OOS games of consequence last year and went 1-3

Edna Karr finished top 10 nationally and needed overtime to beat a 5 loss team without their QB and WR

Catholic lost to a MAIS Mississippi team

Neville got running clocked by a Mississippi team

Ruston got boat raced by a Texas 4A team.




That's it. 1-3 in games with a pulse. And it took the best team in a generation to not go 0-4!!!

Assuming Elijah Williams and most of the staff returns, Jones will be a pretty strong, Tier 2 team in Florida. IIRC, they lost a key player to injury when they played at Duncanville, and that turned a fairly competitive game into a route.

Carson Palmer has it rolling at SM obviously, but Trent Mosley is the type of player they rarely have, and won't replace easily. They didn't have him for Bishop Gorman or Servite and they were a totally different offense. If Jones can hang in somewhat in the trenches, they figure to have a team speed advantage. SM hasn't yet demonstrated the ability to consistently, year over year, hang with Mater Dei and SJB. Sure, last year's teams at full strength would've been a decisive SM win. But, I wouldn't bet much on SM being as good in 2026 as they were last year. It's possible this will be a decent game, as long as Jones doesn't lose all the top players to The First Academy etc.

Their dual threat QB, RB and top 2 WR were seniors. Literally their entire offense. Gone. From a team that couldn't even crack the state top 25 at seasons end. Plus they lose like 5 of their top 6 tacklers too.

Meanwhile SM is stockpiling talent. This game will be a rout. If you aren't a mindless troll or someone with some braindead agenda, and were just looking at facts presented only, right now in February, this game is a major blowout. But if SM does start losing guys and Jones start gaining top flight guys, it could be closer.

And that is with any team that is at such a talent disparity

I think RSM is way overrated this year, they actually got Lucky that SJB somehow lost in a Rainstorm to OLU because SJB completely Dominated RSM when they played, it the Trfs Calling SJB for 20 penalties vs 3 for RSM that kept them in that game.....

RSM lost a lot from last year, SJB will be the clear Favorite in the TL and SSD1 this year.... RSM will not be the same as last year and Keats keep in Mind they lost 3 times last year which could have easily been 5 with 1pt wins over Cen10 and MD....

They just got JSerra's starting QB, their linebacker, an All-Trinity league linebacker from Servite and one of the top Sophomores in the state from Leuzinger.

In this era, it's more about being able to recruit new talent, as turnover in roster is the norm. Eli has proven he can do that for Jones. Jones is not a particularly bad choice to represent Florida. Not the best, but not bad by any means. The last three seasons, they've been on par with Lakeland. And I think they'd beat most SM teams outright. It was just the 2025 SM team which was outstanding. Carson Palmer staying on figures to make SM closer to the 2025 team than the others. But, as usual when it comes to Nolebull talking Florida vs. OOS, we see a comical level of sandbagging regarding the Florida team. It's a blowout for SM only if the Eagles are about as good or better in 2026 as they were in 2025.

What part of any fact is considered sandbagging when a team outside the top 25 of Florida who loses everyone and has not gained anyone of note, is playing a team who finished top five nationally and has already replaced key guys with top flight studs and it's only February?

I actually think it's mindless trolling when every out of state game has to be competitive and even just because the game was announced regardless of the who the teams are. I think that's stupid.

And Eli, your buddy, has shown he can't even be competitive against elite out of state teams.

He did the same thing with last year's DLS-Lakeland game: Lakeland was way down on talent, DLS would blow them out, anyone who would say otherwise is an idiot or a troll, etc. Meanwhile, the game was about as close as a HS football game could be.

Quote from: Belly Bob on Mar 02, 2026, 06:39 AMHe did the same thing with last year's DLS-Lakeland game: Lakeland was way down on talent, DLS would blow them out, anyone who would say otherwise is an idiot or a troll, etc. Meanwhile, the game was about as close as a HS football game could be.

Lakeland is better than Jones and SM is a lot better than DLS. Obviously. And that prediction had more to do with Lakeland getting blown out everytime they stepped on the field from the title game. The spring game and preseason they got dog walked. Literally nothing pointed to any inspiration that they would do good. The defense played phenomenal and got the benefit of DLS breaking in new QB right out the gates.

Cherry picking one isolated incident doesn't make someone ineligible to have a rational prediction for all eternity.


I layed out the reasons I think it's gonna be a blowout. Losing everyone from a not top 25 state team. And SM gathering talent already on a national top 5 team. And it was only February. And Jones gets blown out by private OOS teams. They aren't built for it. The coach just like traveling and ass whoopings.

So can you give some reasons WHY the game will be close down to the wire?

This game has to be close!

Why's that?

Because some random message board guy said last year that a game was gonna be a large margin but ended up being close.


Wait, was he talking about two completely different teams and a completely different year?

Yes.

Makes perfect sense to me!!!!!!

In the history of OOS football Florida has never ever been favored in one single game.
It's called paranoia.

That's a fact.

Post all of the games between two nationally ranked teams where the Florida team was the overwhelming favorite

Hell, every single matchup last year, the out-of-state team finished ahead of the Florida team in the final rankings

That's because Florida lost virtually every single OOS game they played last year.

What a shit show.

Back in 2024, these were the OOS games for Louisiana. They lost every single OOS game of note and the craziest thing is most these OOS teams no one has ever heard of! Imagine if they played real teams!

Rabun Gap 27, John Curtis 12 LOSS

Harrison Central 27, New Orleans Carver 0 LOSS

Picayune MS 35, Northshore 0 LOSS

Dallas Jesuit 28, New Orleans Jesuit 21 LOSS

Center TX 35, North Desoto 28 LOSS

Little Cypress-Mauriceville TX 45, Iowa 26 LOSS

Pulaski Academy AR 67, West Monroe 47 LOSS

If you say to yourself, who the hell are those teams? You are not alone. Louisiana plays a slate of garbage unknown teams and the worst part is most everyone here is a big HSFB fan. And we still don't know who these teams are! Lol.

And Lousiana loses to them! Every year!

This past year, Catholic and Ruston both finished top 5 in the state and lost to a MAIS independent Mississippi team and a small Texas 4A team. LMAO! Not Mater Dei, or St Frances Academy, or St John Bosco, or any team people heard of. Madison Ridgeland and Stephenville!!!!!!!!

Holy smokes dude. This is not a parody

So when you see the yearly results of Lousiana in OOS games, it makes sense on why red flag posts double digit threads about top 3 Curtis playing Cathedral ranked outside the top 100 in California. There was even threads for live streams and play by play. Giving damn ESPN a run for their money. Lol.

Because these are the ONLY type of games Louisiana can win.

Poor Gaybob813.

I can work this guy!

Florida was a shit show last year simple as that.
....15 of their Top 25 teams were clobbered OOS

Five state champions, numerous runner-ups clobbered.

No state in the history of OOS games has stunk worse.

Can I get 8 replies?

You remember when Gaybob813 actually sat at his computer for hours and researched every state in the nation for teams that lost state championship games to OOS teams....... he called it the "Gaybob813 Skin List"

Every year he bored us with it.

The P**** didn't do it this past year. 🤠🏈🤠

It's gotta burn to know that no team will ever break Evangel's national record for losses by against an OOS team with a state champion with 11!!!?

ELEVEN times Evangel lost OOS games the years they won Louisiana state championships!!!

No one in history will ever be able to top that!

Gotta burn that Louisiana as a state is 30-61 ALL TIME against the Florida panhandle in the last 66 years!! LMAO!!!!

And that's with about 10 wins for Lousiana against 0-3 win teams. Lol.

Florida had a crappy year against a slew of national ranked powerhouses.

But Louisiana has been GARBAGE against the panhandle of Florida the last 66 years!!!!!!!

Imagine how microscopic your packer has to be when your teams lose to things called Madison Ridgeland, Stephenville and Oak Grove and you thump your chest about beating teams like Cathedral and Legacy.

That is the most saddest and pathetic shit I ever heard

What's crazy is remember when I said just the panhandle of Florida is 61-31 against the entire state of Louisiana the last 67 years?

I just checked and added the non-panhandle games against Lousiana and the non-panhandle is 16-9 in the same timeframe.

So the last 67 years the entire state of Florida is 77-40 against the entire state of Louisiana. Lol.

And yes that includes all the 0-3 win teams pussy Curtis played.

77-40. Gotta sting

Quote from: Redzone on Feb 28, 2026, 04:21 AMNO team from Orlando, Jacksonville, Sarasota, Tampa and etc should ever play a Trinity League, California team.

That's silly. There are many seasons in which a team or two from those areas are good enough to play with most of the Trinity League. When just two schools monoploize all of the talent, those two schools are likely beyond the reach of most any other team. But then that leaves the rest of the league to not be very good. If there aren't two teams with such a monopoly, then that means the talent is more spread out and none of the teams are all the way out of reach.

Armwood won on the road at Bishop Gorman. Lakeland had DLS- who was equal to or better than a couple of Trinity teams- on the ropes and probably should've won on the road (after winning at CA Open Bowl champ DLS in 2009). If any school in Jacksonville or Orlando came to have a stranglehold on area talent, they'd be able to hang with much of the Trinity League. Edgewater hammered Don Bosco a few years back (Bosco could be seen as on par with some of the Trinity League).

Yep. He also said St. Joe's Philly would beat them so easily it would be embarrassing, meanwhile Lakeland had a lead in each of the first three quarters of the game. Silly guy!
