    So you're saying if you announce your intention to leave your conference you deserve it? What then about A&M? I might do the research at a later date, but I would be interested how officiating/penalties changed after the announcement to change conferences.

    We got the short end of several calls that year. I remember specifically. And Nebraska did the year before when they left. A&M benefited from playing them in 2010 on calls.

    Im not saying it SHOULD happen, but it’s been happening for ages. Heck I remember a game on a Thursday where Miami played Louisville as Miami was leaving the Big East and Louisville was joining. And the officiating was BAD in favor of Louisville lol

    I've watched a fair number of Longview games these past two seasons. I've enjoyed the broadcast and the play by play guy is one of the best I've heard. Honestly wished he did our games. I know both seasons did not end like the players and fans were hoping but these two seasons have been successful. Yall have been extremely dominate and have played some of the best defense I've seen in 5A in a long time. Yall have had extremely talented kids make some awesome plays that I think yall will look back on in a positive light. I'd love for yall to throw a preseason game invite our way. I felt before I started following yall that yall are one of the iconic programs in Txhsfb and to me yall are the face of bEAST Tx football. Good luck moving forward! 

    Would love to face Aledo in predistrict play. As others have said, we haven’t faced tough teams like we used to. You saw Lancaster start 0-5 or something but the competition they played made them stronger as the year go on. Playing Aledo would only make Longview better and prepare them for later competition.

    Oh it'll be right here in this forum...... anxiously waiting for @JohnnyFootball et al usual derogatory comments about it ...... :rofl:

    It's not derogatory... Just the literal definition of a playoff at its core lol. 

    I do agree with you- all conference champions should be represented. But I also think that G5 needs to go away in favor of an expanded P5 or even a P4. That way, it's a 4 team playoff, you win your conference and you're in... And everyone is happy. 

    Heck, go to 4 pods in each conference. Have a conference semifinal, conference final, national semifinal of conference winners, and then a national championship. That essentially makes it a 16-team playoff of conference pod winners.

    Jon Writt (OC) at Yates (8-3)...

    Gordon Booker (DC) at North Forney (9-3)...

    Lee Jackson coaching safeties at Legacy...

    Malcolm Kelly still coaching WRs at TCU...

    Several that are coaching in Longview ISD in some capacity. Spencer Borens, Addison McGee (his son is going to be a national recruit at RB btw), Darron Sheppard to name a few. 

    When you say Gordon Booker is DC, do you mean he’s defensive coordinator? Cause DC was his nickname back in the day too lol!!!

    Woah, we gotta catch you up real quick lol

    He's in his first year as OC at Yates. They went 8-3 this year. Best season for Yates since 2010.

    Before that though, he was WRs coach for Longview. I'm pretty sure that all Lobo receiving records are held by Writt coached WRs. He was also responsible for signaling in our plays when we moved away from QBs running to the sidelines after every play last year....

    Like you said, he was a killer DB for Longview back in 2006-2007.

    Tremendous football mind.

    It's weird- I totally remember him on the sidelines at Longview during the state championship year. Dunno why I had forgotten that. Thanks for the intel. So awesome to see former players work their way up the ranks.
