Well its a long story, but this is the short version.
Byrnes is the most hated team in South Carolina. The way Byrnes has completely beaten the brakes off some of this states very best teams while putting in 2nd & 3rd string players to do so. A lot of people say we run up the score, they say we are EVIL for beating teams so bad.
OK now with Byrnes completely taking over this state & branching out to play other teams across this nation. Conquering all in their path & claiming their house as our house, much like the Roman Empire did in their day.
So with this stuff going on we got together to figure out what we could call ourselves. Something different, something unique, something that no sports team has ever been called to our knowledge. Every single team from high school up to the pros has some sort of Nation. Heck even Byrnes has a few that still insist on calling Byrnes, Rebel Nation.
However Darth Rebel & myself wanted to take it to the next level. Our coaches, players & TD Club have taken football in this state to the next level. So as a fan we wanted to show our extreme support for them & do the same.
The Star Wars connection is really simple. If you grew up on Star Wars then you know that Darth Vader was part of the EMPIRE & was considered EVIL. Star Wars is as huge now as it was back in 1976. It is known world wide & no matter if you are a huge fan of it, or if you think its the stupidest movie ever made. One thing is for sure everybody knows about Star Wars.
So with Byrnes being thought of by a lot of people as being mean (evil if you will) for beating teams so bad, & showing little to no mercy. Also with Byrnes branching out & beating teams across this country like the army of a Empire would do. You put those two things together & you come up with a Evil Empire. Well, hmmmmmm What would be a Evil Empire that most people in this world would recognize.
That's easy, the one from Star Wars. Thus the REBEL EMPIRE was born, & has pissed off countless people across this state & this board since 2005.
The REBEL EMPIRE consist of all coaches, players & fans of every Rebel team from D5 youth league all the way up to the Varsity team. I hope this has cleared it up for you.
Now sit back & watch all the haters talk bad about us & what we do. Its pretty funny
Just out of curiosity, why are they wearing a darth vader mask and boba fett mask? They aren't rebels.
