  1. Take it however you like. I wasn't saying my opinion is more valuable than your opinion or anyone else. It could be your/my opinion today versus your/my opinion two weeks from now once we've educated ourselves on any topic. Those opinions originally formed when we've seen only the surface do not carry the same weight and/or value as those we have once we've informed ourselves. Nice try throwing in the political jab. That's when you know you've lost your way with something worthwhile to say.
  2. Opinions don't carry equal weight. An educated opinion carries a lot more weight than an off-the-cuff rant, at least in the minds of those that have taken the time to look into what's going on below the surface. Does a town of 500 count as country? Some of the old timers would say of Freer's 95-0 loss, "they looked like they'd been pulled through a knothole backwards."
  3. You say "Good grief!" Dude, it is you that ranted in your original post with... "and of course the mighty Refugio score of 95-0. When does the UIL take control of this fad. I am not a believer in “nothing I could do” syndrome that so many coaches throw out . You score 30-40 points in first quarter or 50-60 in first half you know you have the game under control.Teach sportsmanship but score like that on a weaker opponent is not he same. You are helping keep a weak program down instead of a principle I thought most coaches used to abide by- rule of fair play and fair treatment. To an outsider it kind of gives high school football a bad image." Why would you mock a program like Refugio or others without knowing facts. I simply pointed out that Refugio was up 69-0 at half and had a running clock in the second half. Backups playing entire second half. Starting RB touched the ball only three times the entire game and had 3 TDs. What more can the HC do??? And you reply with "good grief" as though those weren't valid reasons showing that a winning team did their part. Just accept that there are going to be games like this every year where there are teams on opposite ends of the spectrum and you could have a coach you hold in highest regard that wouldn't be able to keep the score down without taking his team off the field. Good life lessons can still be learned by both sides.
  4. Do some homework and know what has actually transpired at these games before thinking anyone was unsportsmanlike and/or lumping them all together. I know that Refugio was up 69-0 at half and had a running clock in the second half. Backups playing entire second half. Starting RB touched the ball only three times the entire game and had 3 TDs. What more can the HC do? Actually, I think the running clock started in second quarter. When you're playing a program like Freer, there are nights that are going to be like this. They have a history of being blown out and slighting the other team of a decent game. You have to play what's put in front of you. Perhaps Freer truly did the best they could, but they share as much responsibility as the other team in the final score.
  5. Moms? The only, or primary, reason this is an issue is because Dads have abdicated their responsibility to be the head of their families and/or are completely missing from the family. If the Dad is involved and fulfilling his God-given leadership role, rarely are you going to see this kind of "Mom" issue.
  6. They could get significant healthy food for absolute minimum cost and a little elbow grease if it was a priority for them. It's called gardening.
  7. Never done before in the inner-city? Highland Park. Same city. Eight appearances. Won five, with 3 in a row. Perhaps I'm missing something. I don't know the Dallas area very well.
  8. This was beat to death on another site and perhaps here too, but I don't have time to read through previous posts. How can a program that is self-proclaimed "Legendary" and "The Mecca" let the game be close enough that they would even have to whine about the Refs? Not to mention the "Death Row" defense. SMH. It would be better to show humility and full respect for opponents. I have no connection to either team, but by the end of that game I was so tired of seeing the ridiculous "Legendary" shirts. If you're going to proclaim it, you need to be able to back it up. Lots of teams have won back-to-back like SOC, so no, they are not "Legendary." I'll leave that title to Aledo and Carthage and I don't recall seeing them putting these labels on their shirts and hats.
  9. Those total yards and yds/carry dropped off significantly in their last two games as they came up against better competition. Yards/carry dropped from 9.2 to 6.4, still very good, but going to be tougher still against Gilmer and the passing game isn't there if needed. Scoring / TDs also dropped significantly. Both are to be expected. I just don't see Bellville matching up but I'm always wanting to see a slot-t team do good.
  10. Anyone remember that time Gilmer was going to donkey stomp the slot-t from Liberty Hill in the championship game? There was so much arrogance from Gilmer the week leading up to the game. Having reminisced on that for a moment... I've never seen Bellville. Got to go with Gilmer in this one.
  11. Keep game schedule the way it is. It has been working pretty good for a number of years and is likely the best option. Also, people are used to it and can plan well ahead to make it work for them. I'd hate for them to start tinkering with it and potentially make it worse.
  12. It's just the way it is in a state the size of Texas. There's no way to make it 100% even for everyone. Life is all about choices. You choose where to live and can choose whether to travel to see in person or watch on TV. It's the same for everyone in that regard.
