Agree. Don't think the Falcons have much of a chance in this one. It would be a mental win to keep it around 10 pt game.Falcon01 wrote: Tue Jan 07, 2020 10:59 pm Fu has a massive game Saturday with BC first. I'd think if chilli is as good as I've read, then chilli by 10-15
... having talked with Coach Helber (jv coach at FU) ... Coach Evesole, FU's head coach, goes with the philosophy when scheduling to divide the season into 3rds ... 1/3 of the games to be played are games that FU "should not win" - the players have to play outstanding to give FU the opportunity to get a W, another 1/3 are games that FU matches up with the opponents well, but will need to excel to get the W and the final 1/3 are games vs opponents with whom FU "should get the W" ... with THIS mix the players/the TEAM is challenged to perform at their best throughout the season, they keep their confidence up , they LEARN throughout the season and the schedule prepares well for the post season ... I like the philosophy ! keeps the TEAM looking to improve each time out and pushes the TEAM to play it's best every game ... I obviously don't have a clue who will get the W but this is a game that fits into a game in which the TEAM must play its' best to get the W for FU ... win or lose - the FU TEAM of Coaches Eversole/Helber will learn and get better for the games to come ...trojandave wrote: Thu Jan 09, 2020 12:07 pm Playing the best team in the SE district can only help the Falcons.
Aren’t 2/3 of the games league games? FU has loaded up their non league schedule this year for sure but I think a big part of that is they knew they’d be good this year as well and a few of the teams they normally schedule non league are up right now. As for the game I think Fu has the kind of team than can keep the game close with Chilli and give them a chance to pull off an upset.pfloyd wrote: Thu Jan 09, 2020 5:57 pm... having talked with Coach Helber (jv coach at FU) ...

Fu has really scheduled well the last 4 years (including this one).Treyman3 wrote: Fri Jan 10, 2020 4:56 amAren’t 2/3 of the games league games?

... that's what I was talking about - when they set up the non-conference games those are the ones that they control the "who" ... obviously the league games they don't control - sorry ...Treyman3 wrote: Fri Jan 10, 2020 4:56 amAren’t 2/3 of the games league games?
