  1. Texas High 16 Hallsville 7

    Texas High ran back an interception for a TD and Hallsville scored on a pass back to the QB. Otherwise as pedestrian game. Hard to watch the game due to a lack of band width at the stadium, I suspect. Tigers need to grind it out the second half.

  2. Great game overall. Ewers did what he was supposed to do … manage the game. I think all phases of the game get an A, except for running back. The RBs kept Bama honest, but seemed average to me (maybe the line had issues creating holes). The OL kept Ewers in a protected pocket and time to make good decisions. I would like to see Whittington get more touches as he is “slippery” in traffic. Overall, this was a team win by the offense, defense, special teams, and coaches.

  3. Texas High 41 Colleyville Heritage 38

    Absolute barn burner. Texas High forced a field goal under 3 minutes left in the game, then scored a TD with about a minute left. Colleyville had a very good dual threat QB that caused problems for the defense. At times the youth of the Tigers showed with some untimely mental errors (primarily defensive line offsides on hard counts). Offense started slow, but found its rhythm midway thru the 2nd quarter. Offensive line had another solid game. Tiger’s lesson from the game was to keep fighting for 4 quarters.

  4. To keep everything in perspective Lone Star was Dave Campbell’s preseason #7 team in 5AD1. Were they truly a highly ranked team? Time will tell, but they have some nice pieces on offense. I had no expectations going into the game, so I viewed it as a quality win.

  5. I think the transfer portal is needed for the following reasons:

    1) a kid isn’t happy with his situation.

    2) coaching change at either the head or position coach.

    3) family issue cause the player to be closer to home.

    4) revocation of scholarship by school (i.e. Prime Time)

    However, I think some of the tampering issues could be alleviated by requiring the athlete to sit out a year (with or without a loss of a tear of eligibility). If a school pulled a scholarship, the player would be immediately eligible. A school would have to decide if they want to burn a scholarship for a “bench player”.

  6. Travis County DA has dropped charges against Chris Beard. Apparently they did not have enough evidence to prosecute. Suspect when his girlfriend refused to testify against him, the evidence was second hand. Waiting on a civil lawsuit to be filed by Beard to shake down The University for some cash.

    One I saw today had:

    A&M - Texas, OU, Miss St

    OU - Texas, A&M, Mizz

    Missouri would bolt to CUSA if they had to play Texas every year. Their demise in the SEC was due to their desire to separate from Texas in the Big 12.

  8. I suspect when Texas & OU negotiated the plan to go to the SEC, it was agreed by the conference they would be together. The fact that apparently A&M was excluded from the discussions makes them more likely to excluded from the same division or pod. That said, I expect the three schools to be groups together. Hopefully, they can rectify some of the mistakes the conference made when A&M and Missouri were added. Schools should be grouped together 1) geographically and 2) by nature rivalries (either existing or logically possible).
