I don't really know about them. I think they may be a little off. Last year, I believe they lost to a few 3A teams. This may be a big jump in year 1 at this level. Of course, I think Randle is going to have more issues with Angleton than people realize also. Angleton won't be in awe of them, and they're at a level now where other teams are going to have multiple D1 prospects. I'm very familiar with Angleton's talent, and they have it in abundance in key areas along with excellent coaching. While LWC is awesome, a one-man show is tough to do against other multiple D1's. Like others have said, when Randle won it, they had a solid QB, and another RB to compliment LWC. They don't have either this year. We really won't know about Randle--even after the SOC rematch--because they won't really face much outside of Angleton until the PO's. IC is depleted. FWD is solid. But, not spectacular. To me, there's not much else in 11-5A this alignment. Certainly not like 12-5A, or 9-5A.

Out of reactions for the day. LMBO!

Good write-up as always. Will be watching and rooting for the Cats until/unless we meet again. For my money, I'd predict: Randle Angleton IC FWD Not sure the gap between Angleton and Randle is that big. LWC can't do it all alone. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if Angleton and Randle were flipped.

Y’all’s defense & our offense and we could be Desoto. 🤣 Be interesting to see how they do against Aquinas this week.

The only Sr. D1 is the TE. The rest are underclassmen. LP looks to be a beast for at least the next 2 years. One of the D1 WR is only a freshman with offers from Baylor & others already. If all stay at LP and healthy, we should have some good battles again.

I hear ya’. I’m waiting to see about the entire D myself. They may not have to be a juggernaut this year. Just serviceable, bend don’t break. This is the first time I can remember—and I’ve been watching the program since the 70’s—that LP actually has 2 D1 deep threats, along with a D1 commit TE, a D1 QB, and Sean Simon. Add in a K who is solid from 50 in, and a Soph RB who could probably start for many other teams. All at the same time. There will be some points scored this year—regardless of the defense of the opponent. Just too much to cover. How things will be shared will be interesting.

I had to read the fair catch kick rule a couple of times to get my brain to process. HA!

You two Pam guys tickle me. Game 1 and you’re already rooting against the Dawgs. 😂

La Porte has found a kicker again. Been a long time.

Porter Wagoner’s show was must see tv. He came to XIT Rodeo more than once. Brought the Mandrell sisters along. The only female/s my dad thought was hotter than Barbara Mandrell was the Rockettes. (Ann Margaret was close.) 😅 Dolly came to XIT in 1980. Went back just to see her.

She passed on to her next great adventure today at 80 years young.

Sounds good. Wanted to make sure I was ready to do it right to help make it works as intended.

I love this score compilation thread idea! Looks great as well! Question: Do we still post scores in the game threads, or will there be some other, specific way to post where this thread will auto-update from somewhere?

Here's another site as well. As with DCTF, first game is based off last year for the most part. I wouldn't put much stock in either until 4-5 games have been played unless there's just a severe, historical mismatch. [Hidden Content]

Everyone knew you couldn't hold out. lol

I do. Hopefully, y'all's fanbase knows it will take a little time to build when you're going up against the best of the best in the area--maybe State--right now.

I'll be watching the same from the DawgHouse on the 55" surround sound with Mama Dawg. Excited to see the multiple O perform in live action. Wish we could be there in person. But, the Hanks brothers & young people do a fantastic job with the broadcast.

Crosby might wind up being the best 5-6 loss team in the State.

The article was open to read earlier. Now, it's closed off except to subscribers. Sorry. I remember it saying something about requiring States to use a different formula for costs where they couldn't 'double bill.' I found the below link about some discussions. Not sure why we haven't heard more about the proposals. Jones Act should just be repealed. But, the unions might get pretty upset. It was put in place for them anyway. Not the general public.

People seem to be really high on the Cougars again. Good to see.

Looking forward to seeing the Charger's passing attack, and the Dawg defense. Should be a big challenge for a young LP D. Streaming broadcast starts at 6:30 p.m. [Hidden Content]

I had heard LP had a young receiver to compliment P. Smith. Appears I found the young man. Class of 2030, and he already has offers from Baylor, UTEP, and UTSA. If the Dawgs can find a way to use all their weapons, this could be a very fun year.

It’s populated now.
