  1. It's not hush hush, it just doesn't matter. He'll be playing next week. He's an offensive guard, Cutter Clinton #54 and he was caught "stomping" another players leg, probably retaliating but he's the one that got seen. The head ref left the microphone on while the other one that threw the flag came over so we heard him say, "he was stompin' on that other player's leg!".
  2. That would probably be a black jaguar (see attachment) from South America, since Panthers don't exist. But PLEASE get a photo of this sucker. My Dad has been telling me one about the one he experienced growing up as a boy in Upshur County for years. Everyone knows the stories of them, but nobody has ever provided any evidence!
  3. I'm a Dawg fan and I am leaning towards believing that this is the best team I have ever seen come through Carthage, and I have seen a lot of good teams. The Quarterback is playing like a really good division 1 quarterback prospect. The defense won't shut you out if you are any good at all, but you won't stop this offense, I don't care how good Diboll thinks they are. I have been hearing the same argument from every team Carthage has played on here and every one of those teams gets rolled over. You're just next in line buddy. Allcomers welcome. I'd just like to stay past halftime for a change so at least give 'em a little challenge. This is a different team that played Kilgore (1st game of the season) and a different team that lost to Nacogdoches. This team is the real deal now. I was the biggest critic at the beginning of the season, but they fixed their faults and ready to deal some blows and KO's. Carthage 48 Diboll 24
  4. Chapel Hill by 3 touchdowns...at least
  5. The buckies are gonna get trampled. I call the upset!
  6. So how is this going to work on the playoffs now? Someone said something about Gilmer having to go Division II because of Chapel Hill having the larger enrollment.?? Carthage and Diboll from our district, Chapel Hill and Gilmer from their district most likely or what?
  7. Exactly what I am looking for...thanks!
  8. Well I'm glad that happened to you because the hogs just found my feeder last night, now I know to get me some t-posts today!!
  9. That's because you are looking for a tail. Now look at it again and pretend in the first photo what you think is a tail to actually be a right leg and it will fall into place. Pretend there is NO tail and you will see it.
  10. I knew it!! My uncle was telling me that it was a fox...I knew his eyesight was bad. Now the other kink I got to throw into it. On that last pic, IF it is a bobcat, then why can't we see any spots? That last picture I see a miniature mountain lion looking thing.???
  11. Now the Cowboys coaches AND players are talking about simplifying things. And I have to agree here. Which goes to the point that we SHOULD NOT have ever gone to the 3-4 defensive scheme. It is way too complicated for most football players. And they are asking these guys to think way too much on these plays instead of just react to what they see on instinct. These guys are talented enough to win without having to outthink themselves.
  12. Fragile Cowboys on brink of self-destruction source: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/sto...mp;sportCat=nfl ST. LOUIS -- About an hour before his team ralphs on itself, loses its third game in four weeks and goes into full crisis mode, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is walking on the Edward Jones Dome field with his two plainclothes security guards and the team public relations director. He stops to tell a story. "I asked a man one time who had 300 restaurants, 'How do you find all those cooks? How can you find people who can cook 24 hours a day?'" says Jones, whose left jacket lapel features a Salvation Army pin and a diamond-studded star. "He said, 'You got to remember one thing: If it's supposed to be cold, make it ice cold. If it's supposed to be warm, burn your mouth. You can cover up a lot of things with intensity.'" Jones pauses. "I admit there's some frailties around here, but we try to make up for it with heat, with heat." Right now, the Cowboys are generating all the heat of a rain-soaked book of matches. If you're wondering if Jones' team is in serious trouble, they are. Any more frail and they'd break into tears. The Cowboys could miss the playoffs. Think about that for a moment. A team built for a Super Bowl is on the brink of self-destruction, of self-implosion. And when you dust the crime scene for fingerprints, Jones' are on every piece of Cowboys furniture. There's no confusion on what happened here Sunday. Jones' pride and non-joy were out-owned, out-coached, out-thrown, outrun, out-fought, out-thought, out-physicaled and, most of all, outscored 34-14. By the St. Louis Rams. Try covering that up. Jones listens to motivational tapes each day because, he says, "When I wake up, I don't just get up fired up. I usually have to work on that. ... It's just not natural to be upbeat."' He wasn't upbeat after this latest phone-it-in loss. Jones was angry enough that he could have steamed a basket of clams. A bead of sweat slipped down his forehead as he spoke in terse, measured tones in a nearly silent Cowboys locker room. "I've had all the fire knocked out of my butt tonight," he said. No heat. Jones called the loss to the Rams -- I repeat, the Rams -- a "complete whipping." He stopped short of saying the Cowboys quit, but when asked if he was concerned the season was slipping away, Jones said, "Yes, but I'm not in any way thinking that we don't have the ability not to let it slip away." The Cowboys played without injured quarterback Tony Romo and without their troubled and possibly ex-cornerback Adam Jones. They lost safety Roy Williams for the season with a broken forearm. Forty-year-old backup quarterback Brad Johnson threw three interceptions and finished with a 45.5 QB rating. Terrell Owens had two catches for 31 yards. Roy E. Williams, acquired in the much-publicized trade with the Detroit Lions, didn't catch a thing. I can go on. Eight Dallas penalties. A lost fumble. The Cowboys' defense gave up 180 rushing yards. "That's sobering, very sobering not to see any positives,'' Jones said. The Cowboys are 4-3. Their remaining nine games are against Tampa Bay, at the New York Giants, at Washington, San Francisco, Seattle, at Pittsburgh, Giants, Baltimore and at Philadelphia. Without Romo, the Cowboys are wheat toast. With him, it's going to be a grind to finish 9-7 -- a borderline record to even qualify for postseason play. "We didn't look like that kind of team that is going to turn it around today,'' said suddenly vulnerable head coach Wade Phillips. He added later, "This is the worst game this team has played since I've been here. ... I'm angry, disappointed and embarrassed. We shouldn't get beat like that.'' Phillips said he thinks the Cowboys will recover from this freefall. The question is, will Phillips still be here to see it? The Cowboys gagged late last season, and then again in their first game of the playoffs. And here they are needing a tracheotomy seven games into the 2008 season. "Emphatically not,'' Jones said, when I asked him if a head coaching change was on his list of possible changes. OK, so Phillips stays. For now. But if the Cowboys continue to lose and/or struggle, how patient will Jones remain? After all, his team hasn't won a playoff game in 12 long, excruciating years. And did I mention that the Cowboys lost to the Rams? Jones is great for the NFL, but sometimes you wonder if he's bad for the Cowboys. Granted, no other owner in the league is more involved, engaged and invested in his team than Jones. Redskins owner Daniel Snyder tries, but he's a poseur compared to Jones. But that utter devotion to his franchise sometimes creates some blind spots. Jones admitted as much before the Rams game. "I think I am unreasonable sometimes relative to my passion and my interest about the team,'' he said. "I admit I can be unreasonable and, if you will, illogical sometimes." These Cowboys were painstakingly assembled by Jones. And now bottom-feeder teams such as the Rams are lobbing water balloons at his grand plan. You could see the hurt and disbelief on his face. When someone chuckled during one of his postgame answers, Jones said, "I don't see any humor in this." Jones wears a Super Bowl ring from the Cowboys' 1992 season. He wears it because it was his first, and because it fits his finger the best. Jones remembers asking then-Dallas stars Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith for their input on the look of the ring. Smith or Irvin (Jones didn't say which one) told him, "Jerry, you know how to design a ring. Just make those diamonds look like headlights." The Cowboys need those headlights these days. They're driving on a dark road headed to nowhere. If this keeps up, you'll hear the crash soon enough.
  13. After the sloppy win against winless Cincinnati I was right on regarding Wade Phillips reaction to that game. Wade wanted to talk about all the good things the Cowboys did, rather than address what everyone else saw from that game. A team with lots of problems and unless corrected would probably result in losses against teams that wanted to win just a little bit more. Two losses later and here we are. Wade should be fired. This team needs a head coach that will be critical after ugly wins like the Cincinnati game. Wade seems like a very nice guy, but he seems more like a cheerleader than a leader. This may seem unfair, but I never gave him credit when the Cowboys won games because I thought he had little to do with the result. He inherited a drastically improved team after the good job Parcells did and some good trade moves by Jerry. Now the team has injuries and has lost all of the discipline that was instilled by Parcells. The result is now poor, lackluster play, mental errors and losses. It took a year and a half, but the "hands-off" coaching style of Wade has come full-circle. Wade should be fired now so we can see how Garret performs as a head coach. If he does a better job than Wade, he gets to be considered to stay as head coach next year. If not, Jerry can make a good offer to Cowher or another coach that can instill discipline and guide this team’s enormous raw talent. I don't see any fear in the eyes of the Cowboy players. Great coaches come in all shapes and sizes and with all kinds of personalities. What makes a great coach is that the players are always in varying degrees afraid. Landry was feared; Johnson was feared. Switzer was laughed at. Gailey and Campo were not feared at all. Parcells was feared. Do we see a pattern here?
  14. Yeah but look at at instead of imagining it as a tail, imagine that it is actually 2 legs and no tail there. Do you see that possibility?
