TV and greed ruining the game day for fans?

Bellevue could probably beat Cal though.

College football is a much different scene than high school. High school is a lot of rah-rah, go team go, and such. College football is more methodical and structured. Is it possible that some high flying high school could beat a poor D3 college team? It's possible. Not likely, though. Everything is possible. A team like PLU has a lot of muscle and discipline. Anyway, the topic of this thread was the alienation of fans brought about by commercialization/moneygrubbing and such. You don't have to look to poor D3 teams as an escape. The teams in this state are eastern, central, and PLU. No high school is beating any of those. And if you want to make an argument from strictly a quality of play POV, it's Paul Allen.

Cal is STILL too high.

@CheersWestDawg‌ you're taking this a little too seriously dude. That being said, the difference would be the lines, scheme, and depth, with a pretty big advantage to the d3 teams. A team like Bellevue would probably put up a few long tds on explosion plays, but the college team would just wear them down physically. Would Bellevue struggle to beat a Kingco all-star team?

RoadDawg is a valuable member of the community. He's also a member of a podcast that gets pinned to the top of our main bored when it comes out. I don't want him to say something so outrageous that it hurts his credibility. He clarified his thoughts and although I may still disagree with him on some level, I was glad to see him admit he was trolling a bit and being bombastic. That's cool here but when he doubled down I just wanted to make sure he wasn't going to pull a DickBairdFS. It's all good.

I know some of you guys think D3 is a joke or whatever. And compared to D1A or the Pac12 level, yeah...it doesn't even compare. But if you get a chance, watch a good D3 game. PLU and Linfield are supposed to be good again this year. Usually you can bullshit your way down on the sidelines and you can see up close how fast they play. Then compare it to a high school game. Yeah, even good teams like Bellevue, Skyline, Skyview, or Bellarmine. I believe you'll notice a big difference in the size and speed of the game.
