LSU fans are loving the hill country. I’m not going to be driving any time soon. Early poll returns are a landslide FYI.

I will report back on how Tiger fans compare the college football game weekend experience in Austin vs Collie Station. 😎

Will be interesting to see how Yates plays against Morton Ranch early in the season. Ranch will have the best guard and big on the floor and decent depth. Yates should be the #1 4A team in the state regardless. Family Faith lost a lot but I am sure is reloading. And whoever comes out of the DFW region is always going to be tough as nails regardless. But like I said, this has the potential to be one of the best teams Yates has had since the “glory days” of Lion basketball.

Leaving Thursday night. Going to be with a mixed group of Longhorns/Tigers. Hoping for a Longhorn win a good time to be had by all.

Mike Leach is the best

Alabama, Georgia and LSU should all be pretty good. The other 11 teams look to be mediocre at best. So what’s different than most every other year in recent memory?

Also watching all his school records fall by that Smith kid.

😂😂😂

And then Overshown just becomes a hero for some in an otherwise irrelevant series.

Herman emptying the bench and calling off the dogs is opening up the dreaded back door cover.

That was a pretty terrible call. Loving Ossai though.

Very happy to see Duvernay putting in the work. Expect to see more out of Big Game Collin next week.

La Tech has be upset at their ground game though. 1.5 yds a carry on 16 attempts.

Yeah announcers said it was 7. It was about 4 where they spotted him going out of bounds. But would have been no gain without a broken tackle. Also did a good job picking up the blitz on his first snap.

Whittington looked pretty good too but apparently he aggravated an injury.

First Shug sighting. First Shug carry goes for 7.

I think Ingram has looked solid. 7 rushes for 52 yards is pretty good.

Bingo

Easy PI call. Receiver still should have made the play.

Actually a good opener for the young corners. Skip Holtz loves to throw the ball and La Tech’s QB isn’t bad.

Lot of weapons for Sam. Hello Brennan Eagles! Gatorade HS Player of the Year, true freshman Jake Smith is looking like he’s going to be a heckuva slot receiver too.

Big 12 looks gangbusters in wins over tough opponents such as Northern Iowa, Indiana State and the Dukes of James Madison.

Saban: “I only said these guys were suspended if we weren’t struggling with a basketball school...”

I noticed that too. And Allen has long been a “transfer Mecca” for football. And if we’re honest, they are only picking up where the Odessa Permian teams of the 80s and 90s left off. Sure those teams were tough, but if you think all that talent was homegrown among the tumbleweed... During the hay day of Big Oil, many a lucrative job existed in West Texas for parents of talented gridiron stars. And all of that makes the recent titles for Silsbee and Memorial even more an accomplishment. Because as someone said earlier, each might occasionally get a transfer, but nothing compared to the “big city” schools they compete with deep in the playoffs.
