  1. Am I the only one that believes Lion70(00) has become a closeted Bulldog! It took a few years but I believe he’s made the jump! Welcome aboard.
  2. Sometimes I see teams concentrating more on stripping the ball than tackling. When you do that, you usually allow for big yards if you miss the strip. I think PG was trying for the strip and allowed Edwards to gain 250+ yards. You either live by the strip or die by it on defense. IMO.
  3. I just watched the Texarkana Gameday feed of the game on NFHS and I have to say that they did a very good job of calling the game. You could tell they would have liked to see a different outcome but didn’t stoop to being complete homers like some announcers in the past. Hats off to them.
  4. Not what I'm seeing on Dave Campbell's site. Carthage still #1 and Bellville #6.
  5. Come on Whitehouse…. Don’t be shy. Starts with Mah…
  6. Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda... Didn't But before anyone gets wadded up... They gave Carthage all they wanted and more.
  7. As someone who votes against many bond issues for sports improvements, I do so because most times it seems to be a matter of "keeping up with the Jones's". I played at a time when no one in east texas had artificial turf, everyone had normal sized scoreboards with no TV screens on them, and bench seating. I don't remember a lot of complaining about facilities until money poured into Tatum because of the local power plant and they began a building program that gave them nicer things than anyone else had in the area. This was not done on the back of normal taxpayers but on the company that owned the plant. Now everyone in east Texas wants what their neighbor has, but if you don't happen to have a large business or businesses in the area then the responsibility falls on regular taxpayers. That bucket of money is drying up.
  8. I'm glad you brought the US Navy up for this topic. I couldn't think of a more successful program in the 20th century that truly believed in uniformity. While they may seem to go overboard on certain rules, they understand that once rules are loosened, control is lost. BTW. Thank you for your service!
  9. I know there was a D lineman for Gilmer at the game in Longview that had such a long black undershirt that I had to look twice to make sure it wasn't a skirt.
  10. What part of uniform does teams not understand about uniforms? I've been noticing a lot of players varying the types and colors of socks and shoes on most teams in the playoffs. To me its sort of distracting to see all the different colors and uniform displays on each team. Some wear only one sock. I assume that it's about bringing attention to the player? My football coaches in the late 70's would never have allowed those distractions on the field. I know the UIL talked tough about penalizing teams on their uniforms a few years ago, even to the point that the pant were not to be above the knee. I watched a playoff game the other day and I honestly thought a player was wearing shorts when he came out on the field. The pants didn't reach mid thigh. Enough ranting by an old codger. Does it bother anyone else?
  11. I would say Henderson in 2016 possibly had more talent. Beat us in district then lost a very close game in playoffs to Dawgs
  12. Pot calling the kettle black on running score up. Gilmer hung 73 on Atlanta early in the year for a 47 pt margin and beat North Lamar 54 to 0. Our margin was 56 so not much difference. I also don't see how going for it on 4th down and giving defense a chance for a stop at the end of the game vs kicking a field goal which was almost automatic is showing disrespect.
  13. I could imagine the worst jobs would be coaching at the smallest schools that play 11 man football. Never knowing if you were going to have enough players to fill a squad until school starts and even then, I've seen seasons over with the loss of 1 or 2 players in those small schools.
