Paint the car! My personal favorite, though, ... "ya plant a cocklebur, ya get a cocklebur"
You guys oughta be around here Saturday, the 9th. The alumni game is gonna be played at Kemp on that day. It's gonna be hilarious ..... can't wait to get my popcorn and coke and get me a spot on the rail ....

I am an old Eustace guy, but don't remember that quote. Sounds like a Coach Brown quote to me.
Sorry ... I can't take credit for this one --- someone far wiser than me is responsible for this one ...

Hussmann?

Sorry Colmy -- not the starter, but we've got us a good one. District meet last week I was in charge of certification - since there is no certification for this one, I may just install myself as the chief of Mexican food -- that sounds like a good job for me, doesn't it?
-
Will have to let you know, Billy ... if I'm not mistaken it's gonna be Mexican, but I don't know serving time yet.

Regional Qualifiers meet Thursday, April 22, at Eustace High School. Starts at 3:30. Varsity Boys and Girls. Great facilities, great medals, great meal at a meet that is ran off very well and very expediently. Contact Chuck Powers at [email protected] or call AD Doug Wendel at 903-425-5158.

I'm surprised they HAD 4.
-
The more obvious question, to me, is this -- Why in the world would anyone leave Daingerfield to go to Mabank?
-
Congratulations to Coach Jackson - he'll have Poteet up and running in no time. Still wonder about "what might have been" had Randy not gotten the total shaft two years ago .... good luck, Randy. Poteet got them a good one.

Need Timmie P to install the flex quail offense. WOW
There ya go! Bring on the flex quail! Think Timmy P can be persuaded to leave the bright lights of the big city??

Didn't Lone Oak throw the ball all over the place against Winnsboro? I guarantee you Edgewood is as adept at throwing the ball as Lone Oak, if not better - they may not stop Winnboro's running game, but I don't know if Winnsboro will stop them either. Either one could pull this off -- and it doesn't matter to me who wins - I am from neither place - but if you think it will be a Winnsboro blowout, I have to disagree ....

Canton and Van will battle it out for the top spot. Winner of this game = district champ. Loser will finish second with one loss and the rest of those teams - Eustace, Mineola, Kemp and Wills Point will have to battle it out for the leftovers. Any of the 4 could win against any of the other 3 on any given Friday, I suppose - could come down to a district tie-breaker for the 3rd place finisher.

Scrimmage filled. Thanks.

I'd like to see Wills Point back into a district with Van and Canton.
Both Eustace and Mabank, if both stay in 3A, would be closer to Athens, Bullard and Brownsboro than either Canton or Wills Point. The Highway 175 district looks to pretty much stay intact, I would think, unless either Mabank goes up or Eustace goes down, or both. You can figure that Kemp, Crandall, Kaufman will stay the same unless they get pulled in along with Ferris to the 2 DISD 3A's. Both Wills Point and Canton have been with this group before. Could see Mabank, Kemp, Ferris, Crandall, Kaufman, Eustace, Wills Point, and Canton back in the OLD 12-AAA from about 8 years ago. Lot of that will depend on who is down back east, I would think --- like Lindale back in 3A in a district with B-boro, Ch. Hill, Van, Bullard and Athens. Guess we'll find out Friday morning.

what happened, i wasn't there?
What was the deal about not having cell phones on the field?
1. $12 adult admission - $6 for students. A family I knew came for Saturdays finals - $42 for a man, his wife, and 3 kids. State meet admission is only $10.
2. Pole vault should have started at 9 on Friday - it finally got underway at 10:30. Made everything else that day late. When you make plans for events to begin when they are supposed to and they don't, it messes everything on your schdeule up. Example - not only could those vaulters have got an extra hours sleep, but because it started late, the running finals were late. That makes a difference when you are sharing an athlete with softball who has a playoff game that evening, but who also runs an event for you in track. Also made those who were commuting arrive back at school LATE on Friday night, and then get right back up early next morning - we are only 40 minutes away and didn't get home till near midnight, and then had to turn around and come back early next morning.
3. Inconsistency with uniform rules. At the discus on Friday, they made a kid take off an undershirt because they could see the "ack" of the word track THROUGH the white part of his singlet. At the shot put on Saturday, kids basically had on whatever they wanted to wear. Inconsistent - if its gonna be strict, let's make it that way all around.
4. Inconsistency about where you could be and not be. All meet long, they harped and harped about staying behind the caution tape. A group of folks from Atlanta spent all of Friday and most of Saturday in the shade of the scoreboard, keeping outside the caution tape and not causing any trouble at all. They were in a place which was supposedly acceptable - they had been there nearly two whole days minding their own business and staying outside the tape. Saturday, meet officials sent two of the Campus Finest to run them off right before finals. Didn't have guts enough to do it themselves, instead, sent two of the campus police to do it. Guess they thought that the Runnin' Rabbs fans might do to them what the Runnin Rabbs were doing to the rest of the teams at the meet.
5. Let's not even get into the 1st heat of the girls 100 hurdles semifinals. Tried to recall the heat, but waited until the girls were over the 3rd hurdle and on way to 4th before they shot it. Some girls slowed, others who were out front and focused didn't. This made the others who slowed realize they better be safe, so they started up again. That heat had to run their heat over again. Unacceptable!
6. General rudeness of just about every event staffer I met with the exception of the university students who were working the meet. The university staff, however, were as arrogant as usual - like they are doing us a favor by even being in our presence. But they KNOW ALL ABOUT TRACK!! Guess that's why they kept score all day Friday giving points for 8 places instead of 6. Had to go back and fix all that on Saturday.
7. The stadium is still a dump - one restroom for men and one for women, the toilets won't flush. Track is alright - the turf is real pretty, but the overall experience is not too memorable as far as I am concerned. And to think, I got my diploma from there. Still wonder why I didn't aspire to be a Lumberjack!

Yeah, but the most amazing performance of the meet was turned in by the fine folks at TAMU-Commerce. What a bunch of idiots!!! Their level of incompetence reached unheard of levels this past weekend. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, they lower the bar. When will the UIL take this meet away from them?
You are right -- it was pretty bad.

It's called ORGANIZATION. You have to have it in order to run a successful meet. Kerens meet used to not be that way.
Along this line, went to White Oak last night - 18 teams there - Varsity Boys and Varsity Girls and was DONE by 9:15. Had to wait maybe 5 minutes for packets. I realize that this was varsity only - but still, with 18 teams, that's like having 10 teams Boys and Girls JV and Varsity. LOVE going to White Oak -- they have great competition, they don't waste your time, and they feed you some really, REALLY good sausage and beans. Great early-season meet ----

OK -- watching the game right now and Westlake is dominating so far. I have 2 questions:
1. Does Westlake not have a dress code, or hair code? Have seen several of their players and there are several that have full beards; the QB, who by the way is playing extremely well, would be sent home at my school till he got a haircut. GUess things are much more liberal around the state capitol.
2. Would someone PLEASE tell FSN to lose the loudmouthed lady sideline reporter. She's KILLING me -- have missed 10 snaps at least by having the camera on her and her random interviews. She seems to rather enjoy hearing herself talk.

Agree 100%. Small schools will struggle to keep up with the larger schools in all facets -- academics through extracurriculars to auxiliary departments such as transportation. Wish someone could tell me how it is fair, or how it is even legal, that a child in one of the city schools or, especially the affluent bedroom communities - how does a student who attends one of those public schools get thousands more spent on them (in per-student state funding) than a kiddo who lives somewhere out in a rural area? How can this possibly be constitutional (where's Scott McCown when you need him??)
