Sorry, it was “you’re kidding, right?”. Same premise, if you’re kidding you’re usally no being serious. That is 100% my fault and you are 100% correct in everything you state. Again, I’m truly sorry for ever doubting you. Can’t wait till wrestling season!!!
Jive,
So in talking sports with friends, you’ve never said “are you serious?” Calm down. Perhaps lay off the caffeine…and stop trying to be the internet police.
am curious also how there picked
@Jive… mine is on the list
Ken, not direted at you. Just drives me nuts when you see “what is this based on?”. And the comment from my stalker rollie on the big school thread, “are you serious”. Its a fun thing, why insult the writer?
David M,
The PIAA Officials Convention is being held this Friday & Saturday in Harrisburg. Will you or any of your writers be providing coverage? There are sure to be interesting topics like this year’s rules changes. Also, I think they have some NFL officials on the agenda.
Also, please be sure to get JiveTurkey’s advanced approval prior to posting any articles seeing as he has appointed himself your site administrator.
😉 Just kidding on the last part…some good natured ribbing.
Thank you!
Jive,
Unless you’re the website manager stop going all “Barney Fife” and telling everyone how to behave. Of course Dave does a fine job with these sites and topics. We’re luck to have a site like this to generate discussion on PA Football.
These topics are meant to generate interest and discussion. Do you know why? Because, interest/comments = web clicks. Web clicks = advertising $$$.
Bryce Carter from Steelton Highspire High School is definetly missing from this list. He’s a for sure All State player this upcoming year.
Jive this is here for comments and that is what I put…a comment…not where is my kid…nothing against Dave, he does a great job…my comment was a comment period. Dave had emailed me before and I am not trying to start a fight here so please read the comments, I mean really read them. I am sure Dave is use to comments that are worse than these, in the buisness like this you have to have thick skin. Dave, keep up the great work you do ! Thank you
Just look at film from last year and talk to a few D1 and D1AA recruiters and most of the kids he listed on the top team are correct.. Dave did a good job. No politics involved. Sure some probably fall through the cracks but im sure as the season goes on if they have a good season will be noticed.
Dave, I know you don’t need anybody defending you, but I have to chime in on your behalf. Dave puts together an excellent high school football site. Any fan that knows about it, loves coming on and reading the forums, team reviews, player lists, and so forth. Dave is not the top recruiter at Alabama. These lists are not going to Steve Spurrier or James Franklin. If you think there are better lists out there, so be it. Stop with the where is my kid!!!
My name is Coach Shea… Q: How are players selected to Pre-Season Big or Small School Teams? Based on What?
Missing Tyler Shay QB from Mid Valley…you will see though, have a really good feeling about this kid ! You heard it here first !
@ nsfan….I fixed the spelling error. I am sorry for the error.
@ mt z…..Thanks!
OL Nathan Gadinsky is spelled wrong it is spelled Gadinski. Good selection because he pretty much dominated last year in that anthracite league.
That first comnent was about nick long, Northwest Area
Great choice. Three yr starter. Very versitile and athletic. If he wasnt chosen as WR he could have been selected as a DB or ATH. He’s that good. Also a tough kid.
