chevyman Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Im not even from Gilmer but if i recall it wasn't too long ago most everyone around here had the Buckeyes all but dead and buried. Now they have made a wonderful run to the 3rd round and the location of that 3rd round game is an issue. Though i slightly agree, there are a multitude of teams that would be dying to still be playing after Thanksgiving so if there is a slight inconvenience so be it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round 3 of State Football Playoffs. Friday, November 30, 7:30 pm. Allen High School. Gilmer will wear white and be visiting team. Pre sale tickets - $9 adult, $7 student. All tickets at the gate will be $12. No Senior discount tickets per Allen ISD. Dumb move. What the heck, who says the people in the school system are smart. I figure both fan bases travel well so the fans will be there. They would had a much better gate if they had played in Mt Pleasant. Some of the older fans would make the short trip (like me LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only about a 2 hour drive for Gilmer. This game should be local with a drive under an hour for each team. Anybody know what is going on with this idiotic location? You know how society is. Something will suddenly catch on and everybody wants to do it! It has nothing to do with making since! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's like most Plex coaches that come to ET, that's usually the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell by looking at the stands that attendance is way down this year for the post season games for Gilmer. And you are talking about a program that has packed the stands in the past as Gilmer is known for bringing an army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had nothing to do with a coin toss or any other decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLEMAN Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I figured they were under a a contract by handshake. North East Texas will always has empty stadiums this deep in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
