formerBULLDAWG Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Lmao I never said any of those things and I sure didnt say running QBs are the only thing that gives us trouble. I said its going to be easier to defend a one dimensional team than it is for them to defend us. Since you are so stuck on the Center game, let me give u a few stats, Carthage had 252 yards rushing in 38 attempts while Center had 247 in 45. We had 200 passing yards in 14 completions while Center had 74 in 10. So I guess what I'm saying is, I still don't get your point. Yes, they can run. Okay, they've had a tough district. But Carthage is no stranger to tough districts, yeah, we got moved to an easier district but we won state in the District of doom. And no, I'm not saying the teams from years past will win the game Friday. I'm saying we won those titles because of the players and their talent yes, but a lot of it has to do with Coaching. What else I'm confused on, you say you haven't said who you think will win, but yet you're so set on trying to down Carthage. If you went to all the games you said you did, why? If they have a weak district, blah blah, why take time out to watch them just to get on here the game before state and try to discredit them? He won't say his prediction because he knows Carthage is going to win, but he wants El Campo to win. I don't take anything he says seriously, because of that. No confidence. Id be talkin #### for Carthage if we were playing an NFL team.
formerBULLDAWG Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Come on are your really ready to stand behind that statement. Sillsbee didn't seam to have much trouble moving the ball. Especially when they got a short field on those stupid pooch kicks. Carthage also turned the ball over alot in that game. Say what you want but the score was 50-21 and we had 4 turnovers. Coulda been a lot worse.
CLASSof2010 Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Come on are your really ready to stand behind that statement. Sillsbee didn't seam to have much trouble moving the ball. Especially when they got a short field on those stupid pooch kicks. Carthage also turned the ball over alot in that game. We out gained Silsbee 493-243. Carthage’s defense shut down Silsbee QB who entered the game with more than 2,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards. He was 11 of 23 for 123 yards and was limited to 55 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries. Spearman ran six times for 25 yards and two scores, but Carthage held Silsbee to 105 yards on 29 rushes. So, no I think they had a bit of trouble moving the ball.

Because I said I thought we would win and they called me cocky.
formerBULLDAWG Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Lol I said that over on the Silsbee board last week. Because I said I thought we would win and they called me cocky. Haha yea people just don't like Carthage so they say we'are cocky. I just call it pride. Plus, we've earned the right to be cocky, so I don't see the problem there anyways
dawgnation55 Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 i feel this game could get out of hand quick, the carthage defense is playing well and i feel el campo will have to match us score for score and dont see the offense doing that i think silbee is a better team than this one carthage 35 el campo 7 halftime the 2's come in and score 14 more carthage 49 el campo 14 final
Bev Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 If you went to all the games you said you did, why? The only reason I can think of to have gone to the Huntington game was to see if the Dawgs were going to tie a world's record. And they did - fewest 1st downs allowed in a game (0).
RickyRicebird Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 As an Aggie, I'm excited about seeing Golden play. Can't wait to see him in maroon in front of 89,000 screaming Aggies!
Bev Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 From the El Campo Leader News: El Campo has fired on all cylinders in the first half of each playoff game as it has scored at least 30 points or more before halftime. How important will it be for the Ricebirds to come out of the gates early against Carthage? "We really hope to do that and score often,' (El Campo coach Bob) Gillis said. "They are really good and our goal is to focus on making first downs." "They do different things than what we have seen all season," ...Gillis said. Ricebird fans will flock to Beaumont in full force. The Ricebird Booster Club already has three charter busses for fans with a fourth one nearly booked. And, Eddie Moreno from the El Campo Bowling Center has two busses ready to go with a third ready if needed. That is what high school football is all about. Towns rallying behind their teams. Especially at the Class 3A level. Like Gillis told the El Campo Rotary Club a few weeks into the season, this year will be different because they will be playing towns and not just schools. And this town seems poised for a history-making run.
cotton84 Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 After the 3rd quarter last week, the score was 17-14. I think that article was a little wrong......lol
JBizzle Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Come on are your really ready to stand behind that statement. Sillsbee didn't seam to have much trouble moving the ball. Especially when they got a short field on those stupid pooch kicks. Carthage also turned the ball over alot in that game. Silsbee ran a spread offense. I believe he is referring to the style of offense. Knowing you can stack the box and load up on the run as opposed to looking pass first will make a difference. When Carthage played Coldspring in 2010, they were able to move the ball, but couldn't get the big play and it eventually took its toll on them... El Campo's defense will be the key to this game I think...

All I Have Read On Here Is How Good There Offense Is But Yet Nothing About Defense .... If u want to beat a Great Team Gotta Play D.....c'mon man
Bev Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 When Carthage played Coldspring in 2010, they were able to move the ball, but couldn't get the big play and it eventually took its toll on them... Not being able to cover long passes also took its toll!
Starlinmarlin Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Not being able to cover long passes also took its toll! EC vs Seally, Ricky Seals Jones under 50yds. Enough said.
11Deep Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 EC vs Seally, Ricky Seals Jones under 50yds. Enough said. Carthage Not Seally
Starlinmarlin Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Carthage Not Seally Understand, but RSJ isn't considered the best wr in the nation for no reason.
formerBULLDAWG Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Understand, but RSJ isn't considered the best wr in the nation for no reason. Who does his team play this week? I'll answer that. Nobody. They didn't even make playoffs if I remember correctly. That was an irrelevant point you brought up. I'd rather have a great team than a great player.

Several of the Carthage fans have made statements such as those referenced. I have not picked a winner because I do not know who will win. I believe it is a competitive match up. My point is that El Campo is a good team and the best Carthage has faced by far.
bansheefan03 Posted December 6, 2012 Posted December 6, 2012 EC vs Seally, Ricky Seals Jones under 50yds. Enough said. Thats because other then him the team sucked as a whole those ten other guys have to help out too i dont care if its emmit smith in the back field if he cant get any blocking then they become irrelevant

Well when you say "Carthage fans" that's talking about all of Carthage fans that are commenting on here. So, if you're not talking about me in that group, put "some Carthage fans". Otherwise, I'm going to think you're implying that I'm in that.

Let me give you a little help on who will win this game and it ain't the tweetybirds. And I hardly doubt y'all are best team the Bulldogs have faced. Even some of the teams Carthage has played can most likely beat EC

There is no way that El Campo is that much better than Whitehouse! My dawgs win even if it is only by one point. Without a doubt El Campo is a good team or they would not be playing Carthage Friday night.
