From the Bear side of the house...GO MUSTANGS! [/quote] The Lady Eagles are........11-0.  ;) [/quote] I heard that's what they're re-naming the football team next year.  ;D

Fifty years of marriage is pretty awesome, by the way. Congrats.

I admit it. I am addicted to living in an exotic aurora.

What an honor it is to be SMITE-ABLE! I forgot all about that karma stuff on the left. I won't waste my time being preoccupied with someone else's status. I don't get quite that "bent out of shape." jnunn, feel free to smite me all you want, but please remember that this is a GAME. You're taking this too seriously. Relax. If you want to make this personal, perhaps you should spend your time in pursuit of some healthier endeavor. Now, if you will excuse me, I need to go cry, for I hath been smoten.

[quote name="TROJAN92" post="1136003" timestamp="1322708998"] While driving north today on I-45 I passed a herd Of Mustages all being rode by Trojans. They appear to be Going toward Dallas. [/quote] Thank God they weren't riding Mustangs! I know it was just a typo. Did it remind anyone else of Johnny Dangerously? Does anyone even know what I'm talking about? Probably not.

[/quote] Considering our MUCH shorter history, should we not look at percentages? We've made the playoffs 69 percent of the time (going from 1979 on) and CS has made it 36 percent (going from 1942 on). [/quote] I knew if I threw the bait and hook out some shark would take the bait. Sorry they don't keep those kind of stats at the UIL site, if they had I would have posted them. You need to take it to UIL, these are their stats, not mine. Besides you know stats don't mean nothing, its time to play the game... By the way #200 coming up, saved it just for you. [/quote] The stats are fine! You guys have just had 37 extra years to rack up those impressive three extra playoff appearances! ;) What is it that I'm taking to the UIL? Sometimes I think you're watching a different movie than the rest of us. Thanks for acknowledging, finally, that the stats don't mean anything.  ;D

I second (or third) that emotion.

I don't. I wish I did! The point that is eluding you is that none of those things matter when the game rolls around. We have had those things in our favor COUNTLESS times and still lost. We have been on the short end and won. No one knows who will win the game. So what is your "counterpoint?" I said that past stats and rankings won't help on Friday night. Is your counterpoint that they WILL have an impact on the outcome of the game, or do you concede my point? [/quote] At first I thought that you just didn’t like stats, now I think you have a bigger problem. I now am beginning to believe that just because Coldspring has better offensive stats, defensive stats, winning record, higher in National, State, 3A and area ranking that you are scared to death they will have a bearing on the game. Unlike you I am not going out on the limb, I think this will be one heck of a game and the winner will represent our area very well in the balance of the Play-Offs. Have a good nights sleep. [/quote] LOL! No, I'm just a firm believer that those things all go out the window when it's time to play. [b]Show me where I went "out on a limb."[/b] I never made a prediction. We've had a million rankings, undefeated regular seasons, and impressive stats. I prefer our state trophies. Did you answer the question? Didn't think so. Nighty night!

Some of my favorites: "Bullard went into the half with good scoreboard position where they felt comfortable coming into the second-half right chasing Orange-Stark but close enough to pull ahead like is their usual." "The Mustangs scored one more time in the fourth with every break going their way. When they fumbled, they recovered it. When there was great coverage and no way they would catch the throw, they caught it for the touchdown."

[quote name="CS 13-0" post="1135164" timestamp="1322626106"] your right again All Hail WOS, man I think we really dont have a chance after that post but we did have a pretty good season CONGRADS to the 2011 STATE CHAMPIONS WOS [/quote] Awesome! Make sure you contact your coaching staff so that we don't both waste a trip up to Humble. I was worried about this game, too!

If I thought the person who wrote this would find their way to this site, I wouldn't post it, but WOW. I thought "news" stories were supposed to avoid editorializing (giving opinions) or using loaded words and phrases (like "got lucky"). It is a fun read if you read it in the "Wild and Crazy Guys" accent (for those of you old enough to remember that... for those of you NOT... [Hidden Content] ) [Hidden Content]
