  2. [quote name="liltex" post="1040149" timestamp="1314201661"] They are not listed in any category for prev/current year?Any input as why? ::) [/quote] About 10 years ago, the Chronicle, which is owned the same folks that own the Enterprise, made a decision to redefine what was the "Greater Houston Area."  That new definition didn't include any school east of Anahuac.  So that is why you don't see any of the Triangle area schools amongst the stat leaders, leaving those folks to be listed in the Enterprise's area leaders. As to not finding any stats or schedules, that is surprising as given that they are sister papers, they did share info last year.  Heck, you could even get some information from the San Antonio area last year.
  3. If you are having to stay away from the red meat, I recommend I think it is called the "Cluckburger"  it is their grilled chicken burger and it is goooooooooood!
  4. [quote name="liltex" post="1040093" timestamp="1314197530"] We all know polls are merely a groups opinions and change week to week but I'd like to know the process of pic-n where 3 classes are grouped together.If you go by how teams fared last year(the most logical stat-cause nobody's proven nothin this yr)Then Coldsprings(last team playin in a title game should be @ the top of the big school poll,then followed by the next most successful team,so forth.Personally I'd rather the team I support not be ranked(puts a target on your back)but on another note I can't see a team w/ZERO  success of winning a dist.title in a very long time (Liv)grabbing the top 4a spot/2nd in the big school poll.Explain the reasoning please.And shoulda's don't mean anything,there's hundreds of those cases every yr.final tic is a done deal,until UIL reverses a protested game 8) [/quote] Well, tex. For a complete answer to your question you will need 10 different posts as we do not dictate the criteria by which the pollsters rank their teams.  Yes, it is a struggle to rank teams across 3 different classes in polls.  But we simply don't have enough teams to place in their own class ranking and really have only one combination of two classes (3A-2A) that really would make a Top 10 feasible.  As for me, I attempt to look at who is "best" in their particular classification.  How do I do that?  Well, even the factors that I look at will change as the season goes on.  For example, for a head to head result (an actual, not theoretical one) I will probably give that a lot more weight during the pre-district than I would later in the season where I will be giving a team's placement in district standings more weight. Also, take into consideration that things aren't always as they appear.  For example, if someone made an assumption that EVERY pollster placed Livingston ahead of Dayton in their rankings simply because Livingston is higher in composite rankings, they would be incorrect as half of the pollsters had Dayton ahead of Livingston in their polls. But during the show Mike, Gabe, Robert and Aaron, who are also pollsters, can give you their takes.
  5. [quote name="ECBucFan" post="1040055" timestamp="1314192288"] OK, thanks. Was it listed as a 2PM game here on this board? I was sure I saw it as 2 Pm recently... [/quote] Yeah, EC is had it list at 2:00 p.m. as that was the time originally given by the PNGISD.  They have changed it now.
  6. [quote name="no-look" post="1040042" timestamp="1314190689"] Players just need to stay hydrated.....a lot of them play both ways. [/quote] Very true.  But in these games, not only the players, but the cheerleaders, band, drill teams and the fans.  These conditions are dangerous for all.
  7. [Hidden Content] It is a good article by Chris....just wish he could have provided a bit on Wallace High in Orange.
  8. It was removed by me. People's domestic problems are not proper content for any message board, much less one on high school sports.
  9. Lady Rebs take it in 5. Thanks to BigMo44 for the update!
