ESL v IMG ---- 13-14 IMG - OT Game. (Full Game Video Recap)

[McEvergreen]

it's easy to see why one could say they are a massive underachiever.

😂 😂😂 Really??? WRONG!!

 

[SiuCubFan8]

This will go over well.

It's safe to say the ESL enjoys several advantages in regards to football:

1) the greatest amount of talent in Illinois football (certainly 6A and below) based on college scholarship offers/signees/NFL players, etc.,
2) their HC is also their AD, this is huge if you understand scheduling, resources, etc.,
3) Nike Sponsorship (this is a true sponsorship, 100% free/reduced lunch program but 4 helmets, travel gear, top of the line jersey's, etc.),
4) ESPN endorsement to fly to big away games, which ESL uses as a selling point to lure 'recruits' out of St. Louis and rival schools,
5) incredible facilities,

With these massive, and I mean MASSIVE, advantages, ESL has won 4 state titles since the amazing run of Coach Shannon in the 70's/80's/90's, and two runner-ups. That, in itself, is impressive....now let's compare to some public schools that offer none of those advantages, like PR (3 state titles and 2 runner-ups) and CG (4 state titles and 2 runner-ups).

I understand the amount of love ESL gets, and most of it is warranted, but it's easy to see why one could say they are a massive underachiever.

Your negative stance makes sense now that I know that you assume and exaggerate things you have no clue about. A) you now sound envious and B) you saying kids from some of the most impoverished and dangerous areas in the country have too many advantages is retarded and C) we earned and scraped together everything we have. Don’t look at the finished product and throw shade

Everything I stated was true. Let the hate consume you.

 

[ODirty1]

Bro I’ve never hated on anyone or anything. It’s comes off that you are trying to sell a narrative that no sane person will buy. But hey man whatever makes you feel good about disliking someone you have no clue about or connection with. You look bad here

While what you type may be true, do you really believe the kids from ESL have more advantages than the kids from PR and CG? C'mon!? From an outsider looking in, that sounds pretty ridiculous.

The outrageously sad part is that somehow 🤪 HE REALLY DOES…. and that’s what’s always been scary. HAPPY HALLOWEEN! The freaks are out!

 

[ODirty1]

I can tell stories of not having tape to use before games and the practice field grass being shin high or not enough kids that we practiced one side of the offense at a time. You DONT KNOW. The perks came from hard work and chasing a vision.

wow

 

[TigerforFlyers]

Everything I stated was true. Let the hate consume you.

Given that you’re such an analyst, give us all the “bullet points” on CG and PR. Or are they just naturally and organically GREAT? What say you?

 

[SiuCubFan8]

I think I am going to bow out of this thread.
Good luck to the Flyers.

Yea underachievers are the worst. Like going 9-0 and 8-1 every reg season then getting blown out by 20+ and never making it out of the second round of the playoffs for a decade. It has to be frustrating to see a program sh*t the bed every single year.

Name the inaccuracy.

In what way? I have no skin in the game, just asking. How are PR kids better athletically?

Name calling is usually the response when the argument has been lost. Thanks.

 

[SEHSSTORM1]

They are not great. Just average high school kids who overachieve. I'm only basing my comments on the bullet points I made above. I concede that PR and CG have superior coaching.

Lol. Just average U-46 kids. None recruited. In a tough classification. If you only knew.

Not a a CG fan just to clarify^^

 

[ODirty1]

Ok man. You right. Great research. We are horrible people. Our kids underachieve. You win a medal for outing ESL. ATTA BOY

 

[SEHSSTORM1]

1) You are NOT horrible people. Your worth is not based on HS football.
2) ESL is a great program for 100+ years
3) I am not a CG/PR guy but I enjoy the little guy winning.
4) You have underachieved IN FOOTBALL based on my bullet points. Nothing more.
All can be true. Good luck moving forward.

 

[ODirty1]

You still don’t understand. lol we are the little guys lol. We continuously petition up. We always play bigger and better teams. Your narrative has a lot of assumptions. We do us and don’t worry about others. But it’s a-shame our success disrupts your spirit. But your problem not ours. Good luck to the Storm

 

[jha618]

Naw. You recruit too. Ive already told you the story about the kid from the west side who ended up at Batavia who Teonic recruited all summer. But just like football, you guys dont do it very well so you point fingers.

Its ok. You aspire to be ESL. And until you can you are going to attempt to make some peripheral connection btw your "facts" and your conclusion.

I hope you continue explaining your point though. I think the board really would enjoy listening to a South Elgin fan tell us how ESL has underachieved!

 

[USD24]

In what way? I have no skin in the game, just asking. How are PR kids better athletically?

I am not from ESL, so I don't want to speak for their community, but if you really can't see or acknowledge the advantages the kids from PR have, I don't know what to tell you.

 

[ODirty1]

Sounds like his concerns should focus more on why his team sucks in the playoffs
