#USMNT striker Folarin Balogun on his immediate reaction to red card:
“I think it was just important to stay calm. I never want to react out of anger and out of emotion. There’s still lots of people we’re inspiring, little kids, boys and girls who are watching, and we have to show them the correct way to handle things, even when you think it's unjust.”
On shaking ref’s hand postgame:
“As said, you can feel like something, injustice can happen to you. It’s not an excuse to be disrespectful… I'm aware that the World Cup might be the first time a lot of American viewers are tuning in. So it's important just to show people, whether things happen to you, good or bad, just to continue to be yourself.”
@2kgrinders2 @FailedDynasty Check the box score we did run the ball more. But it’s about run game efficiency. We were not comfortable calling plays bc of personnel.
After running afoul of rules, Gainesville tried to use loopholes and flawed logic to try to get the GHSA to overturn its suspensions. Not the best example to set as educators.

Jaxson Dart was asked about continuing to take hard hits:
"I understand the question, but this is football. I'm going to get hit if I'm in the pocket or outside the pocket. I've played this way my whole entire life. It shouldn't be any shocker to anybody if you've followed along with my career. We're not playing soccer out here. You're going to get hit, things happen. It's just part of the game."
@CoachJay92_@CoachBenReaves Given GHSA track record of always doing the right thing (👀), it will probably come down to the fact that the game was called so was any player actually ejected? Gainesville already won one ridiculous appeal this week…
One of my favorite games as kid, I remember laying on the living room floor waiting on dad to get home from Illinois watching the game and couldn’t wait to tell dad we won
A thread: 🧵 Did you know that of the current 16 Division 1,2 &3 @NCAA football teams in the state of Georgia, HALF have either already won, can win or are still alive to win their conference championships?
Big Ten teams that are better or close to the same as the top teams in the SEC, no one wants to talk about:
USC = Georgia
Iowa > Ole Miss
Oregon = Texas A&M
Michigan > Texas
