orange80 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 And you can tell the UIL that it was offered to everyone but for some reason only football players showed up. Amazing how the UIL can be so specific on a rule but can't figure out how to make the different classifications more equitable- make 6 classes or divide into small and big school before setting the districts.

BluePirate Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I didn't make up the rules, I just had to make sure I didn't violate them for a number of years while my son was in school. I see we have an "expert" in the hizzy! :w00t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bleedsbluengold24 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 And you can tell the UIL that it was offered to everyone but for some reason only football players showed up. I suppose that might work, until you make the playoffs, someone from another school finds out, turns you in and your team misses the playoffs because the booster club knowingly violated a UIL rule. As the result, you're ostacized from by the booster club (distancing itself from you), the school (because you're a cheater), and the community (because you cost the team its first playoff berth since leather helmets). Amazing how the UIL can be so specific on a rule but can't figure out how to make the different classifications more equitable- make 6 classes or divide into small and big school before setting the districts. On that you and I agree emphatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleborn Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Our ladies in the cafeteria cooked for us before home and away games.. Usually ate it around 4ish as a team. Price was 2 bucks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogtennis Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 King size snickers and a Monster energy drink. If they are still hungry after that, give em some chili cheese fries with jalepenos washed down with a Mt. Dew. Feed them all of this about 15 minutes before the game starts...after warm ups.

Same goes for Volleyball having one district and football another. Play football in one town an VB another. On that you and I agree emphatically.

Bluetooth Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Tatum isn't big on pregame meals. Now after the game is a different story. If there is a Ci-Ci's nearby then Evans will be sure to take the team there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirtFalcon Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 When I was in high school, the football team was fed a steak dinner every Friday afternoon around 1pm in the school cafeteria. We generally got a chicken fried steak meal after the games on road trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelJacket Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 What do some of your booster clubs or schools serve for pre-game meals for the football team? What about during the playoffs? Trying to get some ideas. I realize that the booster clubs must charge an athlete for their meal. We usually feed them Peanut Butter & Jelly, Ham and Turkey sandwiches, fruits like grapes, banana's, apples, pickle spears. We try to feed them right after school, our boys eat lunch about 11 am so it's a long time before the after game meal paid for by the school.

MeanGreenDogs64 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 We use to get fed ham, potatoes, salad, and green beans.Other years we got baked potatoes and all the fixins. Coach would say if you can't handle chilli don't eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NativeTxn Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 As a coach, we usually feed our kids something from the following: Chicken Spaghetti Spaghetti Lasagna Baked Potatoes Grilled Chicken Breasts All the above are served with a vegetable, fruit and a Gatorade/Powerade or water.

CAPTTIGER Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Lots of things you can feed them as you see. You need to feed them about 4 hours before kickoff.....gives the food time to digest but not let a new hunger set in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirtFalcon Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 We had a few guys that would hit the field house for about a 30 minute "you know what" before the games. There was one guy that smelled so bad doing his business the coaches would make him go over to the visitors side to do his thing before the other team arrived. We would always turn on the vents and the fans .... I can still smell the air. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At home games, we would all go into the weight room and take a nap on the mat. Thinking back on it, I don't think anyone ever fell asleep, too much talking and having a good time.

GoBigBlue Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Back in the day at Daingerfield, we would always stop at the DQ for chicken fried steaks on away games. On home games you were on your own. We usually went to Stella's in Jenkins to get a double bacon cheeseburger and fries. Then we would go back to the field house like DirtyBird said and chill.

My mom had made a pound cake for a wedding shower she had the next day. She got home and found an empty plate. But half the team wanted to hug her after the game.

BillyClydePuckett Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 U.I.L rules state you cannot provide a meal during the season as a booster club. However your booster club can donate money to the "school" to help cover cost for out of town meals. And yet the UIL allows a couple of schools in the state to provide scholarships worth thousands of dollars to kids who participate in athletics or other UIL events. But if I give a kid a ride home or provide a few bucks to a kid in need to have a winter coat I could be in deep poopoo. I love the UIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
