This current squad for the Broncos is led by a very good short yardage passing QB, the problem is the Broncos want to run the ball, and the mix isn't on track, and the defense is no where near normal caliber. GCM has shown the ability to beat teams while their down (Crosby last year), I'll Take the GCMPats by 3.

NOON ON 10-11-2011 the first 4a Fan Poll is coming out. Keep your eyes peeled, for the ballot record thread and the results thread.

I really hate this defense... just saying. But good for vidor if its working its working.

offense is clicking on all cylinders the cougs are effectively passing the ball, and they are keeping the defense off the field. 42-21 Cougs

[quote name="Once a Raider" post="1077194" timestamp="1318092530"] why dont you step off coog....if you knew what the h*ll you were talking about,you would see that  this is the only game that Lumberton has been dominated....everybody wants to kick Lumberton while they are down...things come full circle...we wont forget. [/quote] Not likely. Dominated is relative... i believe 0-6 means your opponents have dominated you. i.e. no wins. When has lumberton been up? "If their hearts and minds had been on the game and not on the heartbreak the town has been through the game may would have been different.  No the Raiders have not won any games this season but they have played with pride and heart." Never questioned their hearts. and once if u need a person to diffuse your pain or upsetness i'll be ur nameless mirror.

doesn't everyone?

[quote name="broncoman" post="1076685" timestamp="1318043845"] That was another ugly Dayton win. Sometimes I wonder if the opposing sprays down with oil before the game, the missed tackles are inexcusable. Lots of missed opportunities with dropped passes and open receivers not seen. I may catch a little flack for saying this, but I can really see a change in discipline, execution, decision making, and demeanor in general of this team. Maybe the coaching change had a little more effect on this team than we thought. I'm not saying Hancock is a bad coach, I'm just saying he is probably not quite the motivater that Big Stu is. What ever it is, they better get a grip on it cause GCM is waiting to be the next team to take down the mighty purple and white. [/quote] I believe when i said at the beginning of the year, "we'll see how they do without Stewart" everyone thought i was crazy.

[quote name="bh89-2" post="1076627" timestamp="1318042920"] Your right hillguy, NF ain't bad at all defensively and their QB is a heck of a player. BH played sloppy, but it's a win. Got to work on dropping LB's back in coverage before next week.  [/quote] Must be tonight... they where pitiful last week.

[quote name="bronco.football11" post="1076670" timestamp="1318043550"] To put it nicely, Dayton is not very good this year.  No leadership. [/quote] Sounds accurate.

Aston Walter #7 threw for 4 tds this game. #11 Jacoby Scott with 2 receiving tds and over a hundred yards receiving. Austin Walter prolly 150-200 yards with a score.

St. Pius will win.

I dunno i'd take BH over livingston right now, simply because i think bh has the best defense in the area.

[quote name="TJ LAMBERT" post="1074523" timestamp="1317877834"] If he assaulted her on July 5th, why did she go back on the 7th? [/quote] Sexual assault has many meaning. Because of the age difference statutory rape could be considered sexual assault. 41 to 14 = no go. In the words of a good friend of mine.... Jail Bait.

42-21 Cougs maybe 35-21

[quote name="rollinac" post="1073784" timestamp="1317783332"] Lee has the talent....the question is the coaching.  Could be close...more likely to be a Dayton Romp.  Every team has a little swoon every year....let's hope it's over for this year. [/quote] Dayton wins but i think they give up some points. 42-28 dayton.

you should start your own poll its what i did.  ;)

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1073933" timestamp="1317825202"] [quote author=Cougtalk link=topic=88472.msg1073770#msg1073770 date=1317782220] well i don't care about them, and im doing the work to make this poll so... i guess thats all that matters aye? its really just a 4a poll because that's what interest me. And as someone whos dealt with statistics on a regular basis i feel i can create a fair environment for this poll.  [/quote] I do understand and you do have that flexibility.  But as you can understand, it would be a bit troubling for us to do a poll that would exclude 43 of the 59 schools within our coverage area.  We are a board that is intended to give a voice to schools of all size, be those as large as West Brook and Memorial to the smallest of schools in Chester and Community Christian.  Heck even beyond that we provide those smaller schools like Goodrich, Spurger, Brookeland, Port Arthur Prestonwood and yes, even Big Sandy up in Dallardsville, who do not choose to play football but do compete vigorously in other sports. And that is how our poll is contructed and divided, to give all schools an opportunity to be considered.  Of course, we know that not all will be happy at how that poll turns out...it is not intended, but anticipated...but at least they have the opportunity to be ranked and we do not have a problem with with the disagreement with that poll.  Yes, we will defend our choices and to the extent board rules allow, will point out when we believe the disagreement is an unreasonable one. I'll certainly admit that talk of the 4A districts comprises a large portion of our posts. However, that is by poster choice, not any arbitrary policy by the site.  We invite discussion and analysis regarding all schools regardless of size and while you can without interference from the site conduct your poll, this is just to let everyone know because we allow the segregation of one classification from the others does not mean that we endorse it. [/quote] look at the number of people west of Liberty to east of it. when you do that their are far more 4a schools to the west than any other, however this is the point. 1) my criticism has nothing to do with your coverage. It has to do with the comprising members. 2) The current make-up of pollsters makes senses for 20-4a, 3a, 2a, 1a, and even 5a. 3) YOU CLAIM to cover all of SETX including 19-4a. Yet i bet 65% of the people voting in that poll haven't seen a 19-4a district game. 4) your coverage in polls fundamentally excludes 19-4a and as such i'm giving them as well as 20-4a their own poll. a) this is justified by the clear prevalence for 19/20 4a traffic. b) by the lack of coverage for your MOST POPULAR subject area. c) to get rid of the i watch x or y team bias, and instead create a focused and fair assessment, because i can offset bias by having even/close to even representation. Of all the coverage areas you give theirs almost none given to MY district thus i'm giving it to them. This is easily shown by the fact that during the past 2 broadcast which btw your site has popularized, their has been mention of gcm 3 times crosby 2x, dayton 5x. Silsbee had a 20+ min segment, yet theirs no coverage of the biggest upset of the day with dayton losing to BH? Even coverage is fine... when its even. It's either small school or golden triangle no in between with your pollsters. p.s. i don't criticize your site just your poll. It's like someone in dallas ranking who they thought where the best team in houston. o wait... everyone already complains about that.

[quote name="jabu84" post="1074260" timestamp="1317848733"] [quote author=Cougtalk link=topic=88472.msg1059931#msg1059931 date=1316376254] I'm going to start this, a 4a exclusive poll that ranks 19-4a and 20-4a teams. What i need from you is 1 fan who supports each team in each district. Each sunday you'll recieve a ballot email, that should be returned by monday night. Thing you should know before volunteering... everyones votes will be public record. i will post the results followed by each persons ranking.  this is only ranking 19-4a and 20-4a so if your interested in being a member of the poll email me with the following information. 1) number of game you ahve attended this year/do you plan on making the vast majority of your teams games. 2) your email you would like to recieve your ballot. 3) a little guts. Your votes will matter and will be seen, have to be able to take ridicule. NO ONE is excluded (most hated poster?, most loved?, Admin?) i don't care it will be a very simple calculus to determine who gets the job for each. IF for some reason a team does not have a represenative, i will post again to try and get a representative.  This is our fan rendition of a coaches poll. Hope to get emails soon. [email protected] [/quote] I got Lee [/quote] pm me with ur email. also u go to all lee games? and will be at the remainder of them.

[quote name="MEM" post="1070811" timestamp="1317462465"] Congrats to Coldspring senior RB Colton Monroe who set a school record and tied a state & national record with a 99 yard td run against Shepherd..(He also received a couple of very good blocks along the way from Sherman Gilbert).... Monroe also had a kickoff return for a TD of about 70 yds on the second half kickoff...His previous long TD run this year was a 80 yarder against Madisonville.... Coldspring's duo of Gilbert and Monroe are putting up some big numbers and look to be one of SETX best backfields.... Congrats to both and keep running all the way to Arlington! [/quote] wow 2 in one weekend what are the odds. Video? i just want to see it.

well i don't care about them, and im doing the work to make this poll so... i guess thats all that matters aye? its really just a 4a poll because that's what interest me. And as someone whos dealt with statistics on a regular basis i feel i can create a fair environment for this poll. 

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1073398" timestamp="1317755272"] I love it!  A poll that includes less than 1/3 of the schools in he SETX coverage area! How freaking elitist of y'all! Like [b]4A ball is the only thing that anyone cares about[/b]! Hehehe! Boys, my fun has only just begun! [/quote] Or perhaps it's just true. also i'm a Crosby football fan, and i haven't seen a 3a game in years, thus it'd be hard for me to judge 3a teams as for 2a teams... who cares =p. fyi last 3a game i saw was huffman vs coldspring. like 5 years ago. and also i didn't call this the setx football poll... i called it the 4a FAN POLL. o and on another note... perhaps you should change the name of ur poll to the Beaumont people making predictions about teams they've never seen play poll.... at least in my poll everyone will have seen at least half the teams play at the end of the year.

nah but we did what we should have bronco...

ok this poll will start after this week of play. i will send the email, we have uneven numbers right now. so where 20-4a at? i need 1 more 20-4a representative from one of the school mentioned. without a sponsor. also every monday their will be 2 threads. 1 will be individual score cards. 2 will be cumulative records. i am using a high low exclusion so that the polls come out better for example. i will take ranks lets say dayton was ranked 1,3,3,3,3,3,3,12 by people voting. then i will drop their highest ranking and their lowest ranking, so they would have a total ranks of 3,3,3,3,3,3. This is one of the simplest things to prevent absolute bias. Also it will be strict ranks, for example you can't rank bh/png as 2 u have to rank each in order. i will send a group email out on thursday to define the rules and make sure people understand.

[/quote]Pulled the starters in the 3rd quarter and did a lot of substituting before that. A lot of kids get to play and it keeps everyone happy. Hope we have this kind of luxury in future games :D [/quote] you will against nf they are a one man show, and that qb is gonna get himeslf killed.

then one of those trolling coaches should come do it. =p
