re: It's that time of the year: LHSAA Football Playoffs

So for you to believe STM chokes every year that would mean that STM has the better team and finds a way to lose to an inferior opponent
STM was better than Karr last year?
STM was better than Acadiana in 2010?
How far would you like to go back?
Was STM better than Northside in 2004? Was STM better than Bastrop in 2005? Was STM better than Shaw in 2006?
Was STM better than WM in 2008?
I would agree that there are some glaring examples of STM losing in the playoffs to teams they should have beaten. Trovon Reed and Thibodaux in 2009 and Mandeville in 2007 immediately come to mind. However every program with a history of success has their own examples of failures.
No one ever says STM over achieves, but a lot of people say STM chokes. How many signees has STM fooball had in the last ten years? How many of them went to BCS schools?
So STM claws their way back into the game last year against Karr and takes the lead with little time left. Then a STM substitute CB that is probably now playing intramural flag football somewhere gets beat on a bomb by a KARR WR that is now playing in the Pac12 for Arizona. Is that a choke?
Acadiana beat STM 31-0 in the playoffs. Did STM choke then too?
Sometimes they are just better than you, sometimes they have an NFL caliber player (keiland williams, early doucet, etc) that beats you, and sometimes you just play like shite and get yourself beat.
STM chokes every year is a fallacy, some years they have choked and some years they just got beat by a better team or player

STM waxed Acadiana earlier in the year. That was arguably the best team Acadiana has ever had. I wouldn't say losing 31-0 is choking though. They lost to great teams throughout the years. Acadiana losing to catholic high in 2009 after giving up a huge lead at halftime? I would consider that choking.

STM was way better than Karr last year.... Shoulda had that game won. STM was way better than Acadiana in 2010. As per their regular season win. Also in 2004 as well against Northside. Hundley just threw up the ball=int=they choked. And against WM, kiki mingo dominated STM by himself.I was at these games.
And you can't put the loss to Karr on Richard Hensarling..... If you go watch the play, Cody Krener slipped and had a fair shot to sack the QB. Plus Karr didnt score on that play. And the offense drive STM had before that was horrible. STM never had to claw their way back. It was a back and forth game.
A lot of people would say STM choked in the biggest game in Lafayette Parish history and probably the history of STM against Acadiana... When you play like shite and beat yourself thats called choking. When you eat something and literally choke on it and die, you basically kill yourself.... and great link. But neither STM or TCH will make it to the dome.
