LoboFan07 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 If we discuss anything less than Longview being a 60 point favorite over everyone in the district we get razzed for not bowing down properly but if we realistically discuss our placement we get razzed for not thinking like a champion. Now you know what it's like for John King being a head coach here ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Now you know what it's like for John King being a head coach here ;) LISD doesn't have enough money for me to want that job. Even if I was qualified for it. SLC, Trinity, Katy type expectations. But the formula has completely different ingredients. That's a tough pill to swallow.

mav01 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 My picks as of now. Marshall Thigh is toss up with slight lean to Thigh with homefield adv. 1. Loblos 2. Texas High/ Marshall 3. Marshall/ THigh 4. Hallsville 5. SS 6. Greenville 7. Mt. Pleasant 8. PT Things may change after I get some scrimmage updates Friday. Marshall has looked good some days and blah on others. Wont know what to expect until we get Lee. The Oline will start 2 sophomores, so could be some early blunders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboFan07 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'll go with - 1) Longview 2) Texas High 3) Marshall 4) Hallsville 5) Greenville 6) Sulphur Springs 7) Mount Pleasant 8) Pine Tree Don't remember what I posted in the other thread but so far that's what I'll go with. Think MP could upset SS. PT will struggle with everyone. Until Marshall beats TX High or Longview, I have a hard time putting them higher than 3rd.

ChiefMav Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 as many people from marshall that get on here and talk about how much yall have improved yall have at least convinced me. and while i do believe yall will be better yall still have to come to grimm this yr, and i think thats the difference in t-high finishing 2nd and not marshall. a tad bit of sodium chloride in this post lol Marshall should be a better team no question but I've seen nobody straight out call a win in Grimm albeit its totally possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex85 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Ok I think yall have taken what I said the wrong way. There was no sarcasm in that post, i guess I should not have said anything about Marshall. Bottom line I think thigh and Marshall will be pretty even this yr but I'll take thigh because they play at home. No no one said Marshall was going to go into Grimm and win but that's where they're playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is their best team in many seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mav01 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 SS will have a good dline and secondary. Offense is what usually makes them tick but think they ride the big time rb Hawkins and play solid D to stay in games this year. Dont see Greenville beating them just yet. Owens will have them playing smart football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarcasm noted. But we play Greenville for homecoming. Longview game is the Pink Out for Moms and Breast Cancer Awareness. And for the record.....he's not from Marshall.

Mavchamp Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 ETSN has Marshall ranked #5 in East Texas http://etsn.fm/etsn-fm-preseason-class-6a5a-poll-no-5-marshall-mavericks/ Looks like Lufkin got the #4 http://etsn.fm/etsn-fm-preseason-class-6a5a-poll-no-4-lufkin-panthers/ I'm guessing it will be Longview, Ennis, JT for the top 3. I'm not sold on us being #5. I'd put Texas High in the #5 slot. Put us at 6. A little surprised to see WH above Texas High. Kinda interesting to see the different takes on Nac from different camps. Nac is a tough read...... they lost a lot. BUT... is this a program on the upswing that can replace and not rebuild? Or do we see them become the Nac we all know? I can't answer that. Then there is Hallsville.... the most bipolar program in 15-5A IMHO. Hard for me to believe SS is going to fall off the map like some are predicting, but they lost more than just about everyone.... and they were ONE CALLED BACK TD by Marshall from being out of the playoffs and letting Hallsville slip in.

Greenville Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Since I've never been to Maverick Stadium...do we need to get there early to get a parking spot for Homecoming, or is there separate visitor parking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Shared parking directly in front of the stadium (front of MHS). There is also parking behind the school and along most of Maverick Drive all the way up to the baseball and softball fields. Should be plenty. The Mall is across the street (Pinecrest Drive).....but usually only Longview, Kilgore, and Hallsville need that much parking. I doubt that will be needed unless you think Greenville plans on brings 3-4K. Happy travels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboFan07 Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 I don't think I've ever parked anywhere other than the parking across the street for a Longview/Marshall game and I get there before the gates open usually. Greenville should have a pretty easy time getting the parking right by the stadium though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenville Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 OK...thanks, guys. At that distance, it'll probably be parents and a few other fans (like me), probably no more than 100 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboFan07 Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Good luck to all that are scrimmaging tonight. Here's to no injuries! Looking forward to hearing how everything went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELDeleto Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The way I see this thing Hallsville has the best schedule set up except for Marshall at Marshall, but we have won several games in a row from Marshall including in Marshall. We play Texas High at home, which at least evens us up with them, and if the rest (not Longview) of the teams are as weak as projected I can see us at 2nd and then we play Longview here so that actually could be an upset. We have given Longview all they wanted the last two years. as far as Marshall winning at Grim, good luck cause you have to beat the bad calls. We have had awful calls up there in every sport, so good luck Mavs. Not to leave Greenville out cause they could be a spoiler for us since we go there. When you play at this level you all know anything can happen on Friday Night. Good Luck to all from a transplanted L-K Fan with Hallsville Kids.

LoboFan07 Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 We have given Longview all they wanted the last two years. We've only played three times and two of the times were 6 and 7 years ago. Hallsville has performed well in Lobo Stadium but both were two score wins. But they were destroyed in Hallsville in our only meeting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WP4L Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I'll take lip from Marshall and T-High fans (not necessarily from this site) believing that this is the year that they beat Longview...but Hallsville just ain't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefMav Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 We honestly shouldn't have lost in Hallsville last year, though that's just how football is sometimes, but if you guys come to Maverick stadium and beat us this year it'll be an upset IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELDeleto Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Best of my memory we played in Longview last year and it was a close game to the end, better check that one LoboFan. These boys are gonna play hard till the end simple as that. They have a little taste now, just wait till they beat up on Longview. OMG Fire and Brimstome will rain down!!! It will be a good wake up call for y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
