UIL to announce site of Class 5A title games Wednesday AUSTIN, TX- The UIL will announce the site of the 2006 Conference 5A Division I and Division II football championships at a press conference to be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, July 26 at the UIL building in Austin. Representatives from the UIL, the selected venue and the Football Championship Game Committee will be on-hand for the announcement and will be available for a question-and-answer session immediately after the announcement. December 23, 2006 marks the first time both Conference 5A championship football games will be played on the same date. In an effort to televise and promote both games, the UIL Legislative Council approved a measure this past June to hold both games at a designated site for the 2006 and 2007 football seasons. All interested parties are invited to attend. San Antonio might get Texas HS Football title games(or not). This has been talked about quite a bit in the SA area and the Alamodome is actively pursuing having both 5A titile games hosted there. Here's an article on the subject: (source mysa.com) Football: Class 5A title games will share one site Web Posted: 06/14/2006 01:51 AM CDT Clint Hale Express-News Staff Writer Nearly 11 years ago, then-Roosevelt football coach Bryan Dausin watched nervously as a coin flip determined the location of the Class 5A Division II state championship game. The Rough Riders won the flip and, because of a home-and-home agreement with Flower Mound Marcus, chose to play for the state title at Alamo Stadium. Should Dausin, now the coach at Warren, guide his team to the upcoming season's state championship game, such a coin flip — and nervous anticipation — wouldn't be necessary. The University Interscholastic League announced Tuesday that, beginning this season, the Class 5A Division I and II state championship games will be played at a predetermined site. The site, according to UIL officials, likely will be determined before the season starts. The site will host the 5A Division I and II state title games in a back-to-back format this season and next, under a two-year trial approved Monday by the UIL's Legislative Council. This season's state title games are scheduled for Dec. 23. “I knew it was probably headed this way,†said Dausin, who helped lead Roosevelt to the Division II state title and a 16-0 record in 1995. “My concern is how much involvement the UIL will have. Are they going to be running the game, or will that still be up to the schools and the school districts?†The UIL says it is not the sole catalyst behind the predetermined sites, which could include the Alamodome, site of four 5A state title games. The 5A Division I and II games, for the first time, are scheduled for the same day. Since both games are televised, UIL officials did not want to create a scheduling conflict. The games traditionally had started at noon on consecutive Saturdays in December, with the 32-team Division I playoffs ending one week earlier than Division II's 64-team bracket. That will change this season with the addition of a fourth playoff team from each district (two advancing to each division), adding 32 teams to Division I and extending its playoffs by one week. With that in mind, TITUS Sports Marketing, which focuses on high school sports, created a proposal that entailed holding both 5A state title games at one site. TITUS arranged a panel discussion Thursday of 25 coaches and athletic directors from the state to discuss the event's potential. TITUS founder Dave Stephenson previously worked for Host Communications and helped establish the Texas Football Classic, which takes place annually at the Alamodome and has grown to a 10-team field. “Having two state championships on one day is a lot like having the Texas Football Classic,†Stephenson said. “Once the Classic was off the ground, people saw you could have two or three games on one day and run it effectively.†San Antonio again might receive such an opportunity. Smithson Valley coach Larry Hill, who attended Thursday's panel discussion, said indoor stadiums would be favored in the site search. That, Hill said, puts the Alamodome and Houston's Reliant Stadium at the top of the list. Stephenson did not comment directly on stadium choice but said he is partial to San Antonio, considering his background with the Texas Football Classic. “San Antonio is the ideal city to host this kind of weekend,†Stephenson said. “The Alamodome is a great facility to start this process. It's really the gold standard for what this should be.†Alamodome director Mike Abington said stadium officials would “have their hat in the ring,†and that he supported the idea of designating the site for the 5A state title games. The UIL Legislative Council also approved the formation of a committee, appointed by the Legislative Council Chair and including members from the Texas High School Coaches Association, Texas High School Athletic Directors Association, 5A coaches and Legislative Council members. After the UIL staff determines the site, the committee will determine game times, ticket prices and reimbursement for travel expenses. The financial aspects of such a doubleheader are still to be determined. “That's one of the many issues the championship committee is going to have to iron out,†UIL spokesman Peter Contreras said. “Instead of one game, you now have two. So are they going to clear the facility and treat them as separate games, or do you share an all-day pass and split revenue equally four ways? Then you've got the TV revenue.†Contreras said the current model, with the UIL getting 15 percent of the gate and the 85 percent remaining split between the two schools, probably would not change. Classes A-4A, which send three teams from each district to the playoffs, will continue using a site agreed upon by the championship teams the week before the game. Those classes will be the only ones in UIL sports not to have their championship sites predetermined. THSCA executive director D.W. Rutledge, a former coach at Judson, said the other four classes could follow 5A's lead. “When you look at the history of the UIL, that's what it does,†Rutledge said of a potential trickle-down effect. “This makes me think it's certainly a big possibility that something like that could happen.†[email protected] CHAMPIONSHIP NEUTRALITY HARD TO COME BY Only 17 of the 32 Class 5A state-championship football games played since 1990 — the first time two titles were awarded in 5A — have been played at sites more than 35 miles from both participating schools.

Hulk Hogan returns to Raw after what Orton did to him on SNME. Word is HHH will not be there as Stephanie has went into Labor.

Sticky Situation Gets George Steamed ... ON THIS DAY (July 24) July 24th in 1983 is a "Date that will live in Infamy" ....!!! ......This of course is the day that infamous Pine Tar Game" was played. After George Brett hit an apparent "home run" off of Rich Gossage in the ninth inning to give the Royals the lead, the umpire ruled after some strong "lobbying by Billy Martin" that the bat that Brett used "exceeded the 17 inches allowed in the rules". Brett was then called "out and went crazy"... Later on when the "tar settled" and the league prez Lee MacPhail ruled that the pine tar "did in fact ...exceed the rule, but that the "rule" needed to "rewritten and clarified" ....... Eventually the "homer" was allowed to stand and MacPhail said that the "pine tar did not effect whether or not the ball would have been a home run or not" ...........and that the homer would stand and the game will be resumed from that point on August 18th.

Congrats!

I did see a few of those in the beginning.

I've never really sit down and watched alot of it.

I thought the same thing. :roll:

Yea Smackdown just isn't as exciting as Raw.

The 2006 Vidor Pirates may surprise some people this year, as they look to be the “Dark Horse†in the new 22-4a district. Head Coach Jeff Matthews is optimistic about the up and coming season, but there is no doubt that the Pirates will have to play some of the best football Vidor has ever seen in order to claim one of the three playoff spots in the new district. Last year, Vidor went 4-4, and 1-3 in district 20-4a. The good news for the Pirates is that they were in most of their district games last year, losing only one by a margin of more than 7 points. In 2005, the Pirates scored just over 26 points a game, while giving up just over 19 on average. In district however that Offensive production slacked off. They were only able to score just under 19 points a game, while allowing their opponent to put up over 24 points per contest on their defense. Here are all the Vidor scores from 2005 Vidor 29 Gulf Shores 0 Barbers Hull 42 Vidor 19 Vidor 58 Scarborough 12 Vidor 28 New Caney 3 Ozen 34 Vidor 27 Vidor 17 Lumberton 7 Central 35 Vidor 14 PNG 21 Vidor 17 This year looks like it could be a good one. The Pirates return 9 starters, 4 on defense and 5 on offense. Vidor has one of the top offensive linemen in the nation in University of Texas commit, Jerrod Gooch. Running behind Gooch will be senior tailback/receiver Brad Croak. In 2005, Croak rushed for 399 yards and 7 tds, while catching 26 passes for 374 yards and 4 touchdowns. The Pirates must find a new Quarterback after the graduation of last year’s QB Andy Haeggquist, who was also the team’s leading rusher. Vidor’s fate in 2006 will likely depend on how well the new quarterback performs. The Vidor offensive line should be very good next year, which should make the transition process for the new QB much easier. On the defensive side of the ball, look for three year free safety starter Derek Kilmer to make a big impact as he will move to cornerback. Expect Brett Harris to also make a big contribution on defense as the free safety. The Vidor defensive line should also be very good this year, and it could be the key to how well the Pirates do defensively. In 2006, Vidor will play a tough schedule. September 8, the Pirates kick off their season at St. Pius, and on September 29 they play their 22-4a district opener against a very good Nederland team. Here is the rest of the 2006 Vidor Pirates Schedule. Aug. 19 1st Scrimmage Aug. 25 West Orange-Stark (Scrimmage) Aug. 31 3rd Scrimmage Sep. 8 @ St. Pius 7:30 Sep. 15 Houston Jones 7:30 Sep. 22 @ Livingston 7:30 Sep. 29 Nederland* 7:30 Oct. 6 @ Lumberton* 7:30 Oct. 13 Dayton* 7:30 Oct. 20 Central* 7:30 Oct. 27 @ PN-G* 7:30 Nov. 3 Ozen* 7:30 Nov. 10 @ LC-M* 7:30
