82 5A State Champs

So what you're saying is that if Lee's or PAM's team colors had yellow in them, they might somehow become camouflaged in the pile of flags being thrown? LOL!!!

Really!

Agree!

GO BROOK!!! Lets see if we can pull off the upset!

Question my pride if you want. Just answer a question for me. Do you think we can beat NS with 13 penalties? I don't expect to walk over anyone. I do expect to be playing better after 5-6 games. Exactly!!!! You can say what you want about my loyalty to my team, and question my pride. But truth be told, I call them like I see them. WE HAVE NOT PLAYED TO OUR POTENTIAL! That's all I'm saying. Those of you that know me, will tell you that I'm probably harder on my team than anybody. Only because I'm disappointed in our level of play, and because I know we can do better. I know we have a good team. I just want to see us play like the GREAT team that I know we can be. But I haven't seen that yet this year. I know you probably think I keep picking on you and I know you are a great fan, but perhaps they are not playing to the potential that you expect. Personally, I believe that this team has been over-achieving since this coaching staff has come aboard about 4 years ago. They are still undefeated and --yes they have been making lots of mistakes and penalties to get to where they are. Maybe this is their potential, and I appreciate their play regardless. But I stand with you in my loyalty to this team--but I tend not to want to be too hard on them. These guys seem to fine a way to win. N-Shore is good and I believe we can play with them. If not, then we pick em up and bring it on in the play-offs. Maybe you're right. Maybe I expect too much out of them. One thing that I've found to be true is that most people wont ever give any more than is expected of them. Maybe it's not that I'm expecting too much of them, maybe it's that not enough is being expected from them. Think about it, huh?

Now, why are you calling me out? Is it just because you dont like what I have to say. Well maybe I'll be wrong and we'll pull out the win. All I've been saying all along is that if we play to our potential, we can hang with them. However, we haven't been playing to our potential. Right or wrong? If we dont play to our potential, we wont beat NS. I have been honest with every game prediction I've made this season, and I've predicted that we'd win all out games up to this point, and we have. We haven't played a team like NS yet. But I'm not gonna sit here and blow smoke by saying that we're gonna beat NS when realistically I dont think we can. It's not a knock on our team, but right now I believe NS is playing better. If you want to knock my karma for being honest, then so be it. But I'll be sitting on the visitors side this Friday night, and I welcome you to come over and visit with me.

Congrats to the Rangers and good luck in the playoffs!

Ooooooohhh, I dont know scooter! I'd pick lee, by closer that 10. im thinking the players might be fired up a tad. True, but that coaching problem always seems to rear it's ugly head!

Ooooooohhh, I dont know scooter! I'd pick lee, by closer that 10.

Very well said, Soulja. I agree with alot of what you said. Hopefully the right adjustments will be made and we will do well in the playoffs. ;D

Uhhhh, no. It's " Da Sho"!

Would that really be considered an upset? ;D

You're absolutely right! We gave Lufkin all they wanted in the first half of that scrimmage, and led 32-7 at the half. So in theory, since Lufkin only lost to NS by 5 points (28-23, I think), we could actually pull out the upset. I'm not gonna say it cant happen, it's just more than likely it wont. I'm still proud of our boys and consider myself honored to be a fan. We will make some noise in the playoffs, though.

Well, it took them a few games but it looks like they're finally playing Katy ball

You are absolutely right! I'm a realist, not an optimist! Did you see the same game I saw today? It's time to wake up and smell the coffee, Weed. Yes, we're good, but we're not NS good.

You would be correct in that observation. It's unfortunate, but it's true.

Soulja and I were talking after the game, and while I didn't post it, and we both said the same thing. #3 and #4 should both be playing both ways. If both of those guys were in our secondary, we would be a hard team to pass against. This is what got our money last year in the playoffs. We had the wrong personnell in there on defense, and we got burned. It's unfortunate, but we need to move some people around, and we'd have a better chance of surviving in the playoffs. BTW, does Ryan Grant play on the basketball team? With his vertical jumping ability, he would be an asset on the hardwood.

I would agree with something along those lines.

Yeah, imagine how much damage we could do if we played to our potential.

Nah, dont get me wrong. I dont think we'll win this game, but I dont expect a blowout. We've got too much talent, and our coaches do too good a job to let us get blown out. Like I said, I think we'll lose by two scores.

I may change my prediction later this week, but as of now I think NS will beat us by 2 scores. We are just not playing up to our potential, and we will lose to NS.

Very well said. West Brook did not play a good game this week and will subsequently get killed next week by NS. I am a proud Bruin supporter, but I have to call them like I see them. We did not play well at all on offense, except in the third and some of the fourth when we were able to move the ball pretty good. Sterling's defense played well, IMO....but they will make a quick exit in the playoffs. The penalties were excessive, but that had to be the poorest officiating crew that I've seen this year (I think they did the Central game last night, too). Granted we were deserving some of the penalties we got, but not all of them. As westend1 said, we are not ready to play a team like NS. They are just a better team than we are. If we show up to play our brand of football next week, and we play it from the first quarter, we might be able to hang with them. But I have not seen us play 4 quarter football yet this season. I predict NS will hang us by 2 scores. Sorry Bruins, I just call em like I see em. Maybe by us getting beat next week, will send them a wake up call and we'll start playing to our potential.

yes, game is at port arthur Lee wont win. PAM by 10. I'll give my prediction on a score later in the week! ;D ask Humble the last time PAM had to get in to the playoffs and the game was in ----Port Arthur when was the last time Lee won in P.A.? I think the last time that happened, it was the Ganders vs. the Yellow Jackets!
