  1. Thought it would be bad but not this bad. Don't remember when THS got kicked like this, don't care if they are 6A or not. Still don't think this game should have been scheduled. If no teams were available then maybe get another scrimmage and go with 9 games. Stanford obviously does not have them prepared to play. Yes, probably the best talent they will see this year( I hope so) but I doubt you see Hendrickson past the fourth round. Tiger 97, I don't agree with you, you don't learn much of anything from games like this. This killed their confidence and I hope they did not get a bunch of injuries. Guess we agree to disagree. Also, why would Stanford be changing the whole program over. It was not that broke. Reminds me of when they hired that clown from Arizona some years ago, he was THE TOP COACH out there. Look how he turned out. Its time to see Stanford's brand start to show on this team, he has had enough time. Again, I was a big backer of Coach Norton, and I think a lot of people will regret they let him get away in a few years. Again, my opinion. All high school football teams have heart, so don't bring that up. Will be interesting to see how Stanford has them prepared next week against AHS. I thought I could hear him tonight, but another dud like this and I bet I will hear Norton laughing loud and clear down here in Houston.
  2. Need something up here for this game. Know very little about Hendrickson and I guess THS looked like garbage the other night in their scrimmage. Hendrickson is a solid 6A program so I'll say they will beat THS by 24. This game is on Thursday in Waxahachie so very few will attend. Don't understand why this coach would schedule this game. There is NOBODY else in the area they could have played? Still not sold on this coach as I was a fan of Coach Norton. I know it is still very early but last year was not even up to Norton standards. Now they are in a very tough district so the playoffs may be a bygone conclusion. Why do I keep thinking in the back of my mind that in a couple of years this guy sneaks back to the metroplex in the middle of the night. He has no connection to THS or the city. Then the endless parade of lifer THS asst. coaches get the job. Just like after Watty retired. Again, I know its early, just very concerned and I've seen this play out before. But hey, they have heart so what the hell.
  3. Now this is funny. Some fan of Arkie High coming on here and talking smack. From a high school that has not done squat since the days of Swede Lee in the 70's. The Arkansas side is broke, rundown and ghetto. People are leaving there faster than poop thru a goose. Texarkana would be a pretty nice town if they could flush the Arkansas side down the toilet.
  4. I used to work with a guy from Ganado that was a BIG Indian fan and went to all the games home and away. He knew everything about Ganado football. Are your initials K.V.???
  5. Think you got some bad information. Grim stadium was built by TISD. Watty Myers was instrumental in getting the stadium built. Texarkana College simply paid rent to play there. I can remember going there in 63 and 64 when Texas High had big games against the likes of Galena Park and Garland. The big season in 65 when the Tigers were number 1 and played Dennison and Dallas Hillcrest there in the playoffs. I personally played in Grim in 1967 in the Milk Bowl when the all-stars of the Jaycee flag football team played a tackle game with TISD coaches. Playing there for Pine St. junior high and later for Texas High. I recall the Texarkana Titans of the old Texas Football League and their big games with the San Antonio Toros and others. I do remember going to a couple of Texarkana College games when they were highly ranked in the 60's. Also, when Dr. Cady shut the athletic program down at TC for lack of revenue. Texarkana College never owned any football stadium and the Texas High athletic dept. did not want them playing there because of the grass field. Have heard that A&M may eventually start a NCAA div 2 program, however, they plan on building their own stadium on their new campus. Sad to see the grass field go, a lot of history in that stadium.
  6. The scenery in east Texas is pretty but that is about it. The area is full of poverty and low paying jobs. Very few good paying jobs and you can't get one because the buddy system is in full effect. Longview and Tyler are great if you want a minimum wage job. That is why all the young people leave that area as soon as they can. Also, lots of poor schools and plenty of crime. Probably don't want to hear it but the best places in Texas are Dallas, Austin and Houston. Just the way it is. Also, every area has some possibility of natural disasters. You're probably better off where you are if you have a good job there.
  7. So now that it is all said and done, the big question now is does coach stay or pull a David Ream?
  8. Once tried listening to a Longview game on the radio but had to turn it to another game. Horrible announcers and lots of snoring.

  20. People living in PG considered RICH? What a laugh. Having the mom and dad both working at Red River and living in a $100,000 track house does not make you rich. Now where I went to high school in Houston, (Memorial), that is frickin RICH! But i guess in an area where everybody is dirt poor, then they must look rich. LOL.
  21. JT and Longview would get their butts handed to them by Manvel. Wouldn't be close.
