You didn’t second guess that trick play in Q4 that resulted in the fumble and short yardage TD for the Ricebird win? Heck I think Surratt himself wished he had that one back! Play would have worked if not for the fumble. That is the one game coach Surratt still gets angry about loosing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had it to do over again, Surratt would punt and trust his D to hold for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Carthage was good enough that year to knock off THAT Stephenville team. I’ll hang up and listen to the comments about the 2010 Brownwood game now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never bet against coach Surratt in a state championship game. If the Dawgs get there, my money will always be on the Dawgs no matter who the opponent.

Didn’t remember exact down and distance of the play, just the result. Point being Surratt would like to have that one back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the norm every week, but when Bulldog Stadium is sold out it’s pretty electric. We have had some crowds/games straight out of the movies. But I definitely agree with others, wish Carthage had better fans on a every week basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henderson game in 2016. Gilmer game that same year. Kilgore in 2017. You already mentioned PG game in 2018. There has been some great games and atmospheres over the years. But I agree, there is a lot of times it’s a lot more quiet than it should be on a Friday night. But in some fans defense, it’s hard to get loud and rowdy when the Dawgs are running roughshod over Jax or Pali (no offense to those teams). Hasn’t been many close home games on this current run from 2017 until now. But I was it’s pointing out that it does get electric in Carthage when I big game is being played there. It’s not only Carthage fans, but a lot of people from surrounding areas come out and support Carthage. That’s when it’s standing room only. Fun times!

H3llR4z0r Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Been to a lot of games in this corner of Texas, and Pleasant Grove definitely has the best Friday to Friday experience during regular season. Stadium is packed regardless of the opponent, and all the ignorant fans yell stupid stuff the entire game. Carthage and Gilmer are pretty cool on the games they play big time opponents, but Gilmer is a shadow of it's former self when it comes to game-time hype. Back in the Traylor days, there was no doubt what the Buckeyes were there to do. One that would surprise you though, is Liberty-Eylau. When the football team is good, they're in full force, and the L-E band plays nothing but hype music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
