Still, are there any obvious 5A fans on the panel?  It was hard to tell from the way you sidestepped the question.

[/quote] How many are there and what size schools do they represent?    Simple question, right? [/quote] There are ten posters.  One is the editor of a local paper's sports section who is also an official on Friday nights who has seen every school in the 5A-3A poll and many in the 2A-Private poll. One is the editor of a local paper who has seen most of them.  One is a broadcaster of Silsbee football who was also tabbed by KFDM to do their television broadcasts and has seen almost every team in the 5A-3A poll, including West Brook, and many of those in the 2A-Private.  Two others are broadcasters on the Vidor internet broadcast's one of whom is a graduate of PN-G and a resident of Nederland.  One is from Dayton.  One is a broadcaster of our Kirbyville broadcasts who at least works and I believe lives in Beaumont.  One is a resident of Beaumont.  One is from Orangefield. The final one, me, is a graduate of West Orange-Stark, lives in Katy and has tracked LITERALLY every score that has been made in SETX football games this year. Now, I have answered you question.  You can answer mine, what qualifies you to question the knowledge of these ten gentlemen? [/quote]  I just want to know if any voters are fans of 5A teams.  I don't see any listed, which might explain how Brook and PAM could be listed beneath obviously inferior teams.  I get Kirbyville.  great year: undefeated  OK.  But the rest has to be attributed to homerism.  Do you have one obvious Brook or PAM fan voting?    Maybe one or two guys could really believe that the top three teams could compete in 5A, but all 10?  I just think the voter pool is way skewed.    What qualifies me?  I have watched quite a few teams from this area this year, from private up to 5a.  If anyone else was watching, they had to see the same thing I saw.  There is no comparison.  I guess thats why the UIL divides it into different categories.

I said I won't comment on the polls anymore and I mean it.  I am curious as to the breakdown of voters.  How many 5a, 4a, etc?

[/quote] And Dayton is on a 7 game winning streak while the Brook is coming off of a loss.  The voters (WHICH I CHOSE) know plenty about football. And you wonder why you are getting smited? [/quote] I don't care about the smites.  7 game winning streak against who?  Who have the beat this year, and likewise, who have they lost to?    Compare anything you want, it can't be justified.     Anyone who voted that way  would still line up to bet on Brook giving 10 if they played.  You know it and I know it.     Whatever man.  I promise I will never comment on one of your polls again.

Channel 6 or 12.. 6 says 50% rain chance Saturday and 12 says 80%. anyone?   :-\ [/quote] Doesn't matter.  If it's over 30%, it's raining. [/quote] Sure it does... the higher the % the more likely someone in the area is gonna get rained on. [/quote] ::)

[quote author=Hawkeye link=topic=75642.msg903246#msg903246 date=1289402504] I'm still not convinced that the level of competition is any better in 20-4A. Just because there is parity in the triangle doesn't really mean much. If you look at playoff results over the last couple of years, the two districts are pretty close. I'm not just talking about games against each other (19 vs 20), but playoff longevity on the whole. Yes the Dayton scores, when we were in the same district were generally closer. (except for a couple of blowouts) but that's no reflection on this year's Bronco team. If you lined up all the teams from each district I suppose 20-4A might have the slight edge. But the top 4 from each district are pretty close I think. Guess this weekend's results will settle the argument. uote] I could be wrong, but I think at this point in the season, PNG,LCM, Central, Livingston, and Ned are better than anyone in 19 except dayton.  Obviously, any team can pull off a win on any night.  But I would guess that any of the listed teams would be favored over BH or Crosby on a neutral field.

[quote name="indianforever" post="903249" timestamp="1289402647"] i think ch 6 is more reliable...and it looks like just a 20% chance for friday :) :) [/quote] Hey, everybody knows that Coop is the best in the business.

The only times Dayton has been challenged this year they lost. Livingston is very physical and will go blow for blow with Dayton using ball control. Dayton has been clubbing baby seals and has not been challenged what so everfor the past 7 weeks. Livingston played several close games in a much tougher district and most of those games came down to the wire. They won a few of em and lost a few of em. The most talented team does not always win every game and I beleive because of Daytons week district that Livingston pulls the upset in a close one. Just sayin. [/quote] I think Dayton wins with good defense, however, Roughrider has a point.  I don't know that Dayton has faced even a decent team in several weeks.  And, Livingston is not bad. You are wrong... Just sayin.  ;D ;D [/quote]

Now we are getting somewhere.  Went from 370 to 600 in one day.          :D :D :D

[/quote] Since when is being an idiot a penalty?  If that was the case, Wade Phillips gets flagged on every play.        :D :D :D

I know who you are.  I'm about to go Lulujuju on you.            :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Why would you do it? and why is it a penalty?          ??? ??? ??? ???
