The Pine Tree QB seemed to be the most confident of all. Gilmer defenders need to turn and look back for the ball to stop the easy scores by opponents.
-
Someone has to be last. If they played each other, the resulting imbalance would cause the earth to disappear into a black hole.
-
Nope. You're not gonna hear any complaints from us Gilmer faithful.
I feel it's more about good coaching rather than recruiting. In case you haven't noticed, some years our recruiting seems to lag behind other schools. :P
-
We have separate eyewitness reports that the kid threw the baton......
Now without us being able to see the video proof, this is just hearsay. It could have very easily just slipped out of his hand (with extreme force). :lol:

Please explain to me how bad visitor seating is a home field advantage? Are the players worried about their fans and can't concentrate on the game? From what I seen the opposing teames still bring fans, albeit uncomfortable fans. While we're on home field advantage, there is no such thing in high school football in east tx.
Many Gilmer fans (me and my homeys included) did not attend the Prestonwood game last year due to seating (lack thereof). Yes, some fans attended, but nothing like normal ... advantage Prestonwood (not that they needed it last year).

Green, as in $$$, is correct. Most of those season tickets have been held in the same family or group of friends for over 20 or 30 years. THAT IS LOTS OF MONEY for a high school program...in fact the football revenue supports a lot of other sports programs that take in little or no money...for those who are not aware. So ask yourselves, even those at smaller schools, why don't we improve and make the $$$ like Longview and others to offset expenses?
Yes, this is the same problem we have had in Gilmer (generations of family and groups of friends holding season reserved tickets forever, long waiting list, none available), but hopefully after this next week, there will be a reasonable and equitable resolution to the season reserved ticket problems you see everywhere ... empty seats and no way for others to easily fill those seats when the primary holders are not able to attend or simple choose not to go to the game any particular week. There have been some good recommendations and I'm hoping they get it right, since they have the golden opportunity now that the home side has been completely replaced with more reserved seating and the layout is requiring the review of everyone's seat assignments. At least we have hope at the moment. If they don't get it right, oh well, we are still just like everybody else.
-
The grass and seats are always greener on the other side. They sure look cushy when you are on the other side on bleacher seats. I do bring my own stadium seat to make the best of it though.
-
Not like the visitors even come close to filling the stadium NOW even with the three sections taken up (outside of Lp or Allen). Even Lee and JT didn't fill it most years when we were in a district with them both.
And those of us sitting on the vistor side holding our meager general adminission tickets look longingly over to the home side with all those nice cushy green arm rested reserved seats and note with angst that at least 1/3 of them are empty, aaaarg !!!

I'm gonna have to Spring Hill's Panther Stadium has a real nice facility. Is it the nicest, no it's not, but I think that Van, Tatum, Tyler's Rose Stadium, Sam Parker Stadium in Mt. Pleasant, and Gilmer's Buckeye Stadium have some of the nicest facilities around!
All stadiums that have the home side facing the setting sun, should be disqualified from this discussion (hello Spring Hill). I will make an exception for Gladewater though, since it is one of my favorites. Maybe we should make a thread that lists all the stadiums where the home side faces the setting sun. Brutal in the first few games of the season.
-
So much hate in this thread. Personally, I can tolerate a crappy stadium. What really irks me is when the home team puts their band on the visitor's side (Marshall and Gilmer). That ain't right. Nobody wants to hear that ####.
You left out Longview ... Oh, and in Longview's case they also seat all the general admission hometown fans on the "visitor" side with the visitors (home side is all reserved). Gee, why not just keep the visitors out of the stadium if you need all the seats for yourselves?
-
Talking quality..not quantity?
1) Rose
2) Carthage
3) Lobo
Carthage and Lobo are practically the same scoreboard..just different sizes.
Yeah, like comparing Aligators to Lizards. :lol:
-
He may be a great coach and man, but the Panthers have absolutely nothing coming up. I had to sit through the 7th and 8th grade games last year, and they were brutal. I think the 8th grade scored one touchdown ALL SEASON, ironically, it was against Gilmer. I'm hoping he turns it around, but knowing what he has coming up and being in THAT district, don't expect much.
They have some big boys coming up, but they are lacking execution at the QB,RB,WR positions in the lower grades. Good coaching could correct this, but it will take a while. I also had to suffer through the last year with the 7th and 8th grade with a nephew playing for them. Taking nothing away from the kids playing those positions ... they play their hearts out.
-
Gilmer ...
Next question.
-
Bottom line, from what I saw on another forum, he ignored the meet official who triedto talk to him just afterwards, and then threw the baton, which you cannot do. Thus the DQ.
That's what I read also ... a meet official was trying to be "helpful" by pointing out that his gesture would probably get a DQ at the state meet and the runner gave them some choice words and would not shut up and let it go.
-
-1,000,000 ... We love our coach over here in Gilmer, but we understand your unhappiness, since you haven't been able to beat him at "his" game.
-
Alabama has offered Gladewater 2015 DT Daylon Mack.
He's a player I look forward to seeing again this year. Very impressive last year and very deserving of offers.
-
Well, since the our Buckeyes have been called, small, weak, underweight, etc. on another forum, I guess the non-PHD argument would explain why we have to pay off the refs to be competitive.
BTW, congrats again to Navasota.
-
Congratulations Navasota. #68 is the most dominating player I saw all year in 3A. He is for sure a player. A complete team and coaching staff win. You guys are awesome and very deserving. Enjoy your first State Championship and we look forward to future matchups between our teams. It was a fun year for us and for you all I'm sure it was just a bit more fun and I'm sure your gonna savor your State Title for long time time to come.

How does a qb that lost in second round go over a qb that went to the semifinals and the heard kid for Denton guyer!!!! This is pitiful the AP people should be ashamed
They only look at stats from regular season, no playoff stats. Still, doesn't take a genius to see where the votes are skewed toward players nearer the larger media outlets. More coverage by bigger papers makes the good, look better.
-
I'm just goofin' boys, I'm actually fond of Gilmer I just like to razz you guys. I'm a Daingerfield Tiger fan. I do think Navasota will take yall this time. They have too much talent and weapons and size. it's just what's up! Gilmer goes down in this one. I'm gonna say Navasota 37 Gilmer 24
Just goes to show, "there's one in every crowd". With all the support Gilmer fans will be bringing to the Daingerfield side of the stadium by showing up early to cheer for the Tigers, we have to endure one knucklehead that does not reciprocate. Thanks for nuttin Rottie.
-
I would have to say REBUILD. JMO! you cant replace what they lost in one season. Those kids had been starting for 3 years, nothing replaces experience plus those SR's were different young men.
Everyone in Gilmer thought the same about this year. Little did we know that the coaching staff would have our youngsters out of "REBUILD" mode and fully "RELOADED" by the end of the season. Good luck to the CUJO Nation.
-
Im sorta mad at Beckville an Jouquin rite now. I had hi hope to follo them all the wa thru the playoffts.
It's ok doomer, Jerry World ain't got no track.
-
I hear there is a little 4A school just up the road from EF in need of a good coach.
We all follow the UHaul reports of coaching changes, King wouldn't even have to move ... keep the UHaul rental.

I am getting alot of agreement on Dallas Roosevelt anyone care to elaborate!
Still some video floating around:
Wyatt Santos---BEAST
in High School Sports
Posted
I've seen Mack play and if "little" Santos is as good, then I would concur that he would have to be a BEAST.
