Eagleborn Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Juggernauts sounds good! I guess I'm just used to playing a tougher schedule. It's fun from a fan's standpoint, not to mention big games mean big revenue. Agree. That team from Nevada will bring in the $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackflag79 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Agree. That team from Nevada will bring in the $$$. Bwahahaha...... I don't think that team has ever seen the likes of Gilmer. They are going to be wide-eyed and awed, aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackflag79 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 That's when you know things are going good. Gilmer worrying about stands lol You do know we travel well, normally. With some of these schools being so far away, it won't be as many as usual, but there will still be a pretty strong contingent of fans going. For a couple of these games, if they are away, I would almost have to take off a half day just to make them. There's a lot of Buckeye fans in the same boat as me. I doubt many of the games will be close anyway, which means even fewer will go see them. Yet another reason I wish we could've stayed in Northeast Texas.

36gut Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Agree. That team from Nevada will bring in the $$$. That'll be something for them to shoot for - to give Gilmer a better game than the previous team from Nevada which played us in Tyler in 2006. That one wound up Gilmer 56, "national power" Las Vegas Bishop Gorman 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumitstock Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 we are not playing a team from Nevada...this team is close to dallas an there entire stands holds 600 people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honkeykong Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I know. We're losing quite a few playmakers to graduation this year, including our QB. I'm just saying, in general, it's a lot weaker overall than I expected. Every team on the schedule has the "potential" to beat us. I was hoping for a couple of D of D opponents, though. I have no idea what to expect from the Buckeyes this upcoming season. I know we will win a lot of games, but I'm not sure how we will stack up to teams from the past few. I'm pretty sure we will be plenty good for a deep run again. It just depends on how quickly we gel as a team. I'm calling BS on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot my sarcasm tag. Having lived around here my entire life, I should have realized how literal-minded most are. Next you are going to tell me that we are not going to have to travel to Ohio to play Canton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panther89 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 How in the world did Gilmer get so lucky in this realignment? First, they mysteriously come up one student shy of going to DI, and now, they get put into a cupcake district! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, they mysteriously come up one student shy of going to DI, and now, they get put into a cupcake district! Believe me, we are just as surprised as anybody else. I don't know the mind of the UIL, thank goodness, 'cause it's awful empty in there, but we DEFINITELY would've preferred to play Northeast Texas teams. Less travel, less expense, better rivalries, better competition, better gates, etc. We FINALLY did get a D of D team on our schedule, though..., Carthage in Week 5, from what I understand. Our predistrict schedule looks like this: Gilmer vs. Whitehouse (scrimmage) Gilmer vs. Kilgore (scrimmage) Gilmer vs. Liberty-Eylau (at TMF Rose Stadium in the Kickoff Classic) Gilmer vs. Pine Tree Gilmer vs. Tatum Gilmer vs. Daingerfield Gilmer vs. Carthage Not exactly a cupcake predistrict schedule...

We lose quite a bit to graduation..., Tanner Barr, Josh Walker, Jaidon Parrish, Devondrick Dixon, Ardarious Johnson, Darrian Lewis, DaKeilan Nelson, John McPherson, Harrison Foster, Garrett Parish, Bryan Restine, Pablin Olivares, Mitch Lange, just to name a few. We do have a LOT of underclassmen that got significant playing time, so we will be fine. We usually just reload anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyebob Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Big ?? Quarterback...several prospects...I expect it will be a good one (7on7 is just around the corner) Line Backers...I think this has been addressed Line (O & D)...we always seem to discover new ones As questions in May...we will have seen the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingnut Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 They along with the rest of the district were glad to get rid of us. Don't know why you would say that!!! Actually, I was looking forward to playing Gilmer again this year and I for sure thought the Buckeyes and Bears would be in the same district. We could have at least scheduled a non-district game, but I guess Gilmer didn't want to risk a loss!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddmutt1898 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 That would be a big risk to take. The last time Gilmer lost to Gladewater was in 2001, in the season opener. We lost in overtime. In Gladewater no less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
