Jeepster89 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Mount Vernon extending their school history run by knocking off Malakoff Friday night. Will they continue the run or will Jim Ned be contending for the state title? Game will be Friday at 3:15pm at OLD globe life field in Arlington.

Jeepster89 Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 I can’t believe reporters aren’t eating this story up. First time MV has made it this far in the playoffs AND it’s under HC Art Briles? Are they blacklisting him and the school or what? I haven’t seen anything from any media source about any of their playoff wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleborn Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Two Cinderella’s. One knocked off a top 3 team and the other knocked off a couple top 10s........ pulling for MV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtxfootball Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Rooting for Jim Ned because of Colt McCoy. Their JR running back is the best running back from R1 since that Brock RB from 15. He’s really good. Probably won’t be enough for the trickery of MV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tiger03lb Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Here's a fyi, teams that have beat Koff in the playoffs since 15' each year, have went on to the state game. I really don't like the statistic, lol. No I'm not saying that MV will win this game at all but they could very well be there in two weeks.

dfwfootballfan Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Because the view from the "Home" side for a football game at this baseball stadium is bad bad...50 yds from the sideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think playing at this venue is a disaster especially with the NFR going on at GLF not to mention just the bad sightlines. It sure has been nice the last several years to catch those semifinal games at The Star and i know there might be negatives there as well but i can only assume that Covid is the reasoning this game and the 4A D2 semifinal game are not in Frisco this year.

I haven’t seen anything from any media source about any of their playoff wins. Have to agree. When I saw MV won last night, I had to go and search to see if Briles was still there cause I had not heard a single peep about him all season it felt like. Best of luck to both teams!

Briles has a handler to handle his stuff and I don’t think news folks wanna talk to a handler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeepster89 Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 I was honestly a little worried about the mv offense when the star rb Holloman went out for the rest of the year with a knee injury, but the other guys have really stepped up.

Plus, I'm sure there are those that believe any media attention would focus on Coach Briles and not the kids. Add to that most media still only sees Briles in a negative light and any attention on MV's storybook season would be cast in the light of their hatred for Briles. Sad for Coach Briles and the kids but maybe no attention is better than the stuff the media could be focusing on. Question for longtime MV fans. Some are stating that this season is MV's best but didn't the Tiger team in the mid to late 50's with Dandy Don go further? Seems like in '55, '56 or '57 they had a really good team.

Blazin97 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Jim Ned is a really good team and no one is underestimating anyone at this point of the year. Honestly, I think MV just beat the best team left in it beating Malakoff. If we play our game, Jim Ned going to need Colt McCoy to come back and play QB to beat MV.
