Gilmer vs LE. Should be a good game. It is close to home too. Getting up early Saturday and headed to Austin to watch the Horns take on OSU.

Thanks to all that serve and protect. God bless you all.

Cochran from Hallsville. A monster; headed to UT. Blocks well at the point of attack and moves downfield great. Tremendous footwork. Courteous to his victims also; he is always picking them up off of the ground and gives them a little pat on the head after each play. He goes about 6'-6" and 270 right now I believe.

No, it may be my fault. It is deja vu all over again! My freshman year (1984) at UT we were ranked #1 going into the RRR against OU; we tied and from then on the season basically went downhill. The whole time that I was down there (1984 thru (1988) we were lucky to break .500. Now my daughter is a freshman down there and we see how the season is playing out; not good. Must be a family curse! I am willing to allow her to transfer in order to restore the winning ways at UT under one condition. The condition is that the wealthy alumni, who desire to restore order, must pay for her tuition at another top university. Any takers?? Bidding starts at $24,000 per year.

Ugly: That face would stop an 8-day clock. Pretty: Finer than frog hair. On not wanting us to leave: Take your time leavin' but hurry back.

HV 9th lost to Nac. I believe the score was 33 to 0. HV JV lost to Nac 22 to 6. The JV game was scheduled to start at 7 as usual, so we thought. The game actually started around 6:15 or so. So most of us only saw the second half of the game. Disappointing to drive an hour and half only to miss half of the last game of the season.

Searching for the relevance of this article; can't seem to find it anywhere.

In my opinion holding calls usually cancels each other out since there is typically holding on all offensive plays for both teams; its usually the flagrant ones out in the open that are called. There was a thread about a year ago about tough places to play. Jax received several votes. It is the perception that Jax gets some beneficial calls. Perceptions do not just come out of the blue; they are based upon something. I am a logical thinker; I deal with facts everyday with my job. That is why I have such a hard time with the knowledge that Jax lives a charmed life in the Tomato Bowl.

The "new" threat was the primary ball carrier for the 8th grade team and freshman team prior to being called up to varsity last year as the starting LB late in the season as a freshman due to injuries. As good as he is as a RB he is also much needed as a LB.

Whatever you say.

Condolences and prayers from Hallsville.

Hallsville proved that they still have some fight in them as they displayed that against Jacksonville. Too bad the Jacksonville game was played in Jacksonville since it is tough to win there. Again I am not sure what the personnel status for Hallsville will be but the ones that are playing are underclassmen and are gaining quality experience. Call the game what you want but I feel confident in a HV victory.

Just one? As I stated earlier it is hard to win in Jacksonville; they always get the calls; real or not.

I am traveling out of the country and can't make the game. Can someone post updates during the game please?

14 to 7 Kilgore last week versus HV at halftime. Wheels fell off for HV.

I am disappointed on how the Hallsville season has played out. I believe that the hopes for an outstanding season were real and were not based upon false expectations after blowing out the competition the first two games albeit 3A programs. The injuries that occurred had an effect not only in performance but psychologically as well. There are still some "gamers" out there that do not enjoy losing and I expect that they will continue to play hard. Obviously playing for pride now. Hope this also gives the younger players a chance to play even more. I am not sure how the balance of the district is but HV has a lot of sophs that are playing and contributing. I would love to win out to build momentum for next year. Go Cats.

What I heard as well. I am looking forward to watching Ferrell carry the ball. Curious to see who or how they compensate in filling his LB position.

If there is ever an absolute home field advantage Jacksonville definitely has it. Just speaking on Hallsville's terms we have a hard time winning there. Even the year that Hallsville went 3 deep in the playoffs, eventually losing to LaMarque in the Astrodome, we lost to Jacksonville there. Hallsville had a TD called back on an "illegal" formation. Further to that there is a "mystique" around playing there for some reason. Knowing that this is a homecoming game lets me know that this is going to be a long game. I remember that Hallsville has played Jacksonville during homecoming before and halftime lasted more than an hour. Hopefully they have moved some of the ceremonies to before the game. Going to miss this game since I am currently in western Canada. Hallsville has usually played Jax tough only to eventually give up some big plays with a negative outcome. Which HV team will show up? Again the talent is there; just wondering where the effort is.

Prayers from Hallsville. Let the comfort of others and God help you through this difficult time. Just know and be encouraged that you and your family are being lifted up in prayer.

Hallsville was playing the third string QB last night on JV. The first teamer is out injured; has been since the CH game. The 2nd team QB was called up to varsity this week as a defensive replacement to sub in for an injured varsity DB. Couple that with other injuries on the line and it begins to add up against you. Defensively the JV team does well; most of the sophomore offensive skill players have been on varsity this year filling the defensive ranks.

Yes, I was at the game and it rained. If memory serves me correctly at the TX/OU game the following year OU had T-shirts made with images of blind refs!

True. The Dark Ages for Texas Football. That all started when I was a freshman at UT and we tied OU in the Cotton Bowl in '84 and it went down hill from there. My daughter is now a freshman at UT and she is complaining about already having two losses! She cannot believe it when I tell her that during my time down there we were lucky to break even!
