not really ? If yall was under achievinig youd lose games to teams that just arent good. I never said that. I said it will take a good team to beat the flyers? I must have changed the language on my key board or something lol
ESL v IMG ---- 13-14 IMG - OT Game. (Full Game Video Recap)
- Thread starter crusader_of_90
- Start date
I also understand people can afford and do what they want with the dollars they have. I agree that it is great to have the support system that believes in providing some of the perks.
I have been told multiple times on this board that I am wrong when I post the following….
Here it is again
I believe that ESL grueling schedule (toughest in the state) plays a big part in their shortcomings against Cary Grove
The option offense has always given them problems and combine that with their insane schedule… it’s a recipe for an upset taking place

Money? Maybe. I don't see 4 helmets, dozens of D-1 recruits, replay scoreboard, NIKE sponsorships, Riddell fitted items, HC as AD...but go on.
Sucks is losing to teams with less talent. SEHS has not done that. ESL routinely does.
ESPN pays for travel. NIKE pays for the uniforms. Riddell individually fits the kids. Get your facts straight.
My wife is also a big time Bama fan. As soon as I typed that post, i said to myself, I have actually heard 1 person say Nick Saban needs to be better!
LOL. Man you are a clown. You have no idea what you are talking about, and to make matters worse, you actually have the audacity to tell folks who are directly involved in the program you know more about it than they do.
^ exactly 😂😂 gotta win MORE And i probably found myself saying that when we lost to Ole miss back to backs years and other random games that had me depressed for weeks.
Several people on here that are giving you the ESL facts have been involved with the team for decades. But you know more about the team than them. OK
ESL loses two games in the state championship to cary grove and thats your conclusion?
Here is a que for you, look how many true supporters of LWE, MC, Loyola, Naz, etc, (programs that actually experience success and what it takes to achieve it) have come in here agreeing with your assertion that ESL is an underachieving program.
SE is so far from being a traditionally successful program that you dont even know what goes in to actually making these programs what they are and it shows in your posts. There are probably a hundred programs who have substantial advantages over ESL without nearly the success.
No. This thread turned fast. I like ESL and appreciate their ability to overcome a terrible neighborhood, but it is also fair to acknowledge that they should be in the hunt every single year. CG beating them is unacceptable.
So are you suggesting that ESPN pays for ESL to travel and not televise the game? The answer to that question says it all about you! LOL
Look at the schools you referenced. There is a sizable difference between those schools and U-46. Just because I point out several facts about ESL, doesn't mean I think SE is better than them. That's whataboutism and I'm not getting into that. SE achieved whatever it did achieve with their own kids...from these middle schools. ESL has clearly not done that. Neither have the schools you referenced. That doesn't mean they are not great programs. Just a fact.
Wait, losing to CG is unacceptable? Maybe some of our CG folks can chime in here and tell us why they weren't worthy of being state champs last year.
You have an unbelievable ability to separate out and ignore the facts that are uncomfortable for you. Ill give you the benefit of the doubt and say that SE is the unicorn in this years playoffs and has never recruited a player, successfully or unsuccessfully. The fact that you will sit around clutching your pearls and hoping everyone pats you on the back because your 9-0 season that finished with a dud in the playoffs was somehow done the right way with only U-46 kids is comical.
You’ve already told us that you identify as a 🤡. What else are you?

I can’t believe people are talking about ESL being “underachievers” 😂
The first 9k of them were about Illinois taking on a NATIONAL POWERHOUSE and we were all proud.
Then the next 2K turned downright shameful.
Then the next 2K turned downright shameful.
Ya'll know we "trended" on Rivals, lots of folks across the country were interested in IL football.
Then we ended up here.
Buttholes.

i think once someone starts getting into detail about how a team gets its funds for its program , that’s doing too much. I think they look at Cary and don’t see the D1 players. I don’t know how common it is, but have you guys ever seen a CG player have their helmet off on the sidelines? They don’t allow their players to have their helmets off . (Unless injury). Small details in program success
Yeah but those dudes are ugly! 😆
LWE fan here. Just how is ESL underachieving? Correct me if I am wrong but doesn’t ESL have more State Championships than any other program in the state? They also have one of the highest winning percentage in the state. Now how is that underachieving. How many State Championships has SEHS won? Underachieving LMAO!
They have 10 titles, tied with Provi. JCA and MC both have 15.
Agree. Just couldn't pass up the opportunity to correct you for being wrong, as you asked 🤣
