I would hope the Fayetteville game would be played Saturday afternoon for safety reasons.

Exhibit A on why the UIL should make this an 8 team district.

Apparently the reason he retired from Westlake per Austin media was to be closer to family in DFW (son Riley is HC at Southlake Carroll). Guess the fire had not been extinguished.

Brother is Landon Jackson, All-SEC DE at Arkansas. His father was an Aggie. A bit surprised, but happy.

Prior to the UIL sanctioning soccer, the higher level soccer was club soccer (not affiliated with schools). In order to play for the clubs, the players agreed not to play on another team. The clubs played from early spring to late fall. The clubs agreed to let their players play for their school teams when their club was not playing. Hence, UIL adopted January to March as the season.
Understand like many sports, club is the highest level of competition and where most kids earn scholarships.
From Coppell Gazette -
“Soccer was a major of topic at Tuesday’s UIL meeting.
The Colony head boys soccer coach Lee Weddall was relieved to see the committee reject the proposal to move soccer from a spring sport to a fall sport.
Given there are just four players on his high school team that play club soccer, he felt it would have given his Cougars a leg up on other area high schools, especially those with more players that play club soccer. But from a competitive standpoint, Weddall said that would have forced players to make a tough decision.
“I think it would have caused chaos with club soccer, and it would have forced the players to make a choice,” he said. “Without hesitation, they would have chosen club. It would have devalued the high-school product.”

How about that Day guy that was discussed for A&M job.
All I know there are some nervous ADs tonight, including Del Conte.

Blue is a situational back, not a bell cow. There are levels to this.
You need situational players.

The 4th string quarterback performed admirably in my opinion. A&M was playing their second string. A&M still has had talent on the field. They just hadn’t taken many snaps together.

What is the story on Terry Bussey? Is he still solid to A&M or is he wavering?

Was not aware of the SEC rule. Curious how it impacts Texas & Oklahoma in this transition year as we are technically Big12.

They need to fix the transfer portal window so this doesn't have to happen.
The portal should not open until after the National Championship game.
Or should not close. I think the issue is enrolling for the upcoming semester/quarter.

What if Quinn Ewers tears his ACL in the first bowl practice?
Do they sub in Georgia because Texas isn’t the same team they were all season?
Interesting thought to take one step further. Assume Oklahoma is in the final four and Dillon Gabriel enters the transfer portal and leaves the team. Another scenario… USC is in final four and Williams opts out of the bowl games to prepare for the NFL. Ultimately, you have to live by the teams selected.

I am super surprised anyone is leaving. Next year schedule looks very favorable. I believe they will have a similar record that the Aggies had in 2012. @ Michigan looks tough now but a they could beat them this year and they probably lose a lot.
It is a sign of the times. If you are not 1 or 2 on the depth chart after your sophomore year and think you can play, you move on. The one portal entry that surprised me was Catalon. My guess he didn’t bond with the team.

1. Congrats to Gilmer on the win.
2. I am left to wonder how the death of Coach Preston’s brother impacted the defensive game plan of Carthage. His brother was the assistant AD at Texas High and they had a reunion between the the Carthage & T-High game. They are a close family.

In other words, it has nothing to do with UT (at least I believe it doesn't), but it doesn't matter. They aren't going to be able to justify this to the masses. It's too late.
I guess the key is the message carved on the carcass as to the connection to the game. I suspect there is a tie in.

College allegiances aside, that's an extraordinary photo and a precious rare glimpse into our state's history.
Agreed … the capital stands out in the background.

Bordertown ,
I respect your opinion and enjoy your input.
However, calling the crybaby statement classless...my family and I were sitting at t blancos and were approached by a man who said "how much did you bulldogs pay those f@#$%ng refs?" Not drunk mind you... my reply was simply...the refs let stuff go from both sides...pass interference before half...holding by both lines all game...illegal blocks below the waist...he mentioned the offsides versus illegal procedures penalty...I asked if that cost as much as the sportsmanship penalty on the coaches?? He walked away muttering cuss words....
I understand your comments and make no apologies for for the those that blame their loss on others. If you go back and read this thread as the game was being played, the only person complaining about the officials was a Carthage fan. My point is both fan bases have idiots. I suspect if the outcome was opposite, Carthage fans would blame the refs. Why? Because the refs let their hankies get stuck in their pants for both teams. What I saw today were two evenly matched teams play a game either could have won. PG fans may be sore losers, but it takes away from high school athletics to bad mouth your opponent. Since the end on the game, this thread has been one unsportsmanlike penalty after another. Having enjoyed Scott Surratt and Darren Preston while they were at Texas High, I am happy for what they have accomplished for your community. Good luck going forward.

Impressed by both Manning & Owen’s. I liked Malik Murphy, but feel we are truly 3 deep at the QB position. Also Wingo is going to be special. He not only showed he can catch the ball, but yards after catch will be part of his game.
