Division III State Bowl: Madison vs Escalon
Not to get too caught up into the minutia of this argument, but I think the weather might limit offenses that lack diversity more than "high powered" offenses. The winning team in 4 of the 5 games scored in the 30's. 3 of those 4 scored in the 40's. Seems like other high powered offenses figured it out. No disrespect to Madison, but if they lost because they can't run their offense in poor weather it has an obvious fatal flaw and the coaches should consider alternatives for the future.— December 19, 2010 5:48 p.m.
Division III State Bowl: Madison vs Escalon
Who cares if the conditions were awful? They were equal. They both played on the same field. How is it Escalon's fault if Madison always plays in perfect weather? You don't think Escalon would run a different offense if they essentially played in heaven every week? It's an offense based on winter conditions, when championships are played, and winning championships is why kids in Escalon play the game! Maybe the games need to rotate between the north and south so the south doesn't usually have the 'unequal' advantage of playing in nice conditions! It's football for crying out loud!— December 19, 2010 12:35 p.m.
Division III State Bowl: Madison vs Escalon
“If everything was equal, I feel like we would be a lot more competitive,” Jackson said. What does that even mean? Is he talking about the weather? If not, what? How does both teams playing in the rain make it unequal? How odd would it sound if Escalon's coach had the same quote if the weather was dry and 80 degrees?— December 19, 2010 10:47 a.m.
