88YoePride

*For whatever reason, site not allowing me to reply to general thread* Monday I heard a rumor from three different sources, all told me it was the word going around, was waiting to see if anyone here had heard anything...

Hmmm. When I have a hammer, a nail looks like a skull...

Clean three months of dust off my guitar and see if I can find my picks...

I humbly and sincerely apologize, good sir. I meant no offense.

Not a bad game either, but the '15 game featured a 25 point comeback and a batted-down last-second 2 pt conversion by a star RB to save the win.

During Yoe's state title spree, seemed like every season our playoff runs ran through Teague, Grandview, and Malakoff. Our playoff game against the Tigers in '15 is a freakin' epic. Grandview made it to Arlington soon after and Jentsch led them to back-to-back titles. Now Malakoff finally has punched their ticket to Jerryworld. Best of luck next Thursday, Tigers. Coach Fannin has truly turned the Franklin Lions into a machine. Dominating ground game-focused team that had one player score three receiving TDs tonight. And a stifling defense. But you guys proved definitively that you're the team to get the job done this year, if it's to get done. Thursday at 3p there is going to be one heck of a football game at AT&T Stadium, one of the best that field is going to see all year.

As long as a non conference winner gets in over a conference champ, the CFP is a joke.

Good! Should be! And it was an excellent night for a game!

I have a friend who was Georgetown PD at the time, had two boys playing for the Eagles. The Monday after the Rockdale-Yoe game he messaged me and told me that Georgetown ISD were saying they had never seen a crowd that rowdy and that they made a lot a lot of money off us, but they hoped they never saw us again!

Oh, didn't realize this was just for "pick 'em" games. Sorry. Thanks for the update, anyway.

Franklin vs Malakoff in Arlington. Calling it now.

Wall/Canadian?

Q: Winnsboro or Malakoff - Which team has a better chance against Brock?

Where/when is the Lorena-Columbus game gonna be?

Scores?

Here's a lil' FB thread ya might find interestin'. Hmmm. Odd how every instance of election tampering seems to only benefit one side... https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3040110112741009&id=1690727941012573&fs=5&focus_composer=0&av=1690727941012573&eav=AfbWrFqNAisaTThKH7ZBsgk53PVstcTte8LkIHREQwTS3D_tNS-PYXLQCRTuEYBrhbRo9mA9d1wCh2AXU0nGpxDN&paipv=1

Mississippi leftists raising 773# about "voter suppression" because some machines didn't work and they ran out of ballots in a Democrat stronghold district... *Arizona has entered the chat*...

Word is Lorena got back like seven players who had been out most of the year, including a starting WR and starting RB? If true, does that change the playoff prospects for Franklin and Columbus?

Per Google search: "39 years old, 12 years coaching experience." To quote a HC/AD who asked me a few years back if I knew anyone who might be interested in any of the coaching/teaching positions he was trying to fill, "Anyone with qualifications would rather take their skills to the private sector, where they get paid more and don't have to deal with kids. You can't discipline a student these days without their parents being in the administration office the next morning threatening to sue."

Hmmm. What do you think the issue is?

Y'all diggin' it in D2?

Gee, it's a good thing we don't have problems like this in Texas. https://www.southcoasttoday.com/story/sports/high-school/football/2023/11/03/brandon-perry-resigns-as-wareham-high-football-coach-citing-issues-with-parents/71441506007/?fbclid=IwAR0c4jSfqo62mE5ZZW0BibY68-Bb9hSc8Xt-P9fCVxNIJYo5cx_kOr6CSDc

Wonder how many of these programs might be moving up to D1 come next summer?

Pretty sure Rhoades has been doing the best with the situation he stepped into. Took him a few years the first time he was here to get his system in place and rolling. And I'm willing to bet that was a better situation to build from...
