There used to be an arrogant UNO fan that would post on the Sun Belt message board about 12-15 years ago back when Lamar was in the that conference.  He was as bad as TT is today.  I bet he is on 24 hour watch with this announcement.

Stanford may be the best argument yet as to why College Football (yes TT, I'm talking about BCS division, not FCS) needs a playoff system.  They stumbled early but now are hitting on all cylinders and could be one of the very best teams right now after handlily beating both Oregon and UCS.  But we will never know without a playoff system thanks to the selfish and greedy BCS and Bowl Committees who only look to feather their own pockets by convincing us they have the fans and schools best interest at heart.  They are in the same class as fight promoters and pimps, if they are even that good.

Gilmer might would finish in the top 8 in class 4A this year, probably top 4 of both divisions.

The Districts appear very even at this [b]juncture of the season[/b].  Both the top two teams win from each and both 1 TD.  Both 2nd place teams win by 2 Td's.  Seems pretty even to me.  Not sure what would happen with teams 5-8 head to head, but my gut tells me that 20-4A probably has a slight edge.

We will just have to see but this could be the beginning of the end of an era.

861 posts! Wow!  Probably not more than a thimble full of meaningful content in all of it.  Anyway. will most likely be a PNG runaway.

[Hidden Content] [/quote] If LU finishes like you want them too, I will come on here and say you were right.  If Lamar does much better than predicted, like finish in top 4 seeds for the tourney, will you be man enough to come on here and say they proved you wrong?

[/quote]I'm telling you, this is the best team of all Roc's teams. Hawaii is not all that great. A top 150 team at best. LU will be a top 80 team. [/quote] Have you seen them play? [/quote] This post should have flushed the "greatest of all prognasticators" TT to make one of his acid remarks about LU.  I am really surprised he has not responded yet.

What in the world is John Curtis and Evangel doing in 2A.  They are probably the 2 best teams in the state.

I'm no Kirbyville fan but it just isn't right for them to be ranked behind Newton.  They beat them heads up, although there are still some Newton fans who would dispute that Kirbyville won the game LOL!

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="703146" timestamp="1257825541"] I ventured out there after we finished our preview show from the Hamburger Depot just down the road. It was great seeing the crowd out there and getting to see Lamar Football under the lights. Saw several of the local high school coaches and players along the sidelines along with the hords of Cardinal fans. The two bleachers were filled to capacity and it was probably 5-6 deep along the west sideline from 20 to 20. I would estimate the crowd number pretty near to 2,000, maybe more. [/quote] Well wouldn't that be something if this little ole scrimmage at Lamar drew more than Dan Rather State's last home game.  Can't wait until the worlds greatest spin master TT tries to run damage control.  Hey TT, you missed your calling.  You need to be one of Obama's spin Dr.'s.

Good teams and great teams always get breaks and make breaks.  If I was a PNG fan, I would hope this is the closest call in a game for the next 4 or games.

If Crosby shows up like they did against Dayton, they take this game by several TD's.  If not it will be close but I think Merka will be the difference and they win.

Hey we might have as many fans at the scrimmage as "Texas Terror State" had at the game week before last.

In spite of all your weak minded defense attempts, you cannot defend 2,100 at the game.  Absolutely pathetic for your "so called superior instituiton" of higher learning. ;)

This maybe a very interesting 4A playoff year.  It could be several teams that are not on the radar make some big noise.  Not sure the pundits have a bead on who the best teams are, or, this is just a strange year where the parity is at an all time high.

Lumberton's going to have to solve the turnover & running game problem that plagued them all year.  These stats are indicative of the whole season except the PNG game.  We generally led or were equal in the positive stats but always led in the negative stats (turnovers & penalties).  The rushing game lacked this year after having 1,500+ rushers the last 2 years.  Hopefully the Raiders will have a very productive offseason and find the answers to the running game and turnovers. :-\

[quote name="KHS 89" post="700253" timestamp="1257572122"] Where are the new "little darlings" of 20-4A? The ones that were going to steam roll through the district this year.... the ones that don't get any respect... the ones that beat PN-G at home last year......      Oh yeah....  they didn't make the play offs.  WOW...  I'm shocked. [/quote] What doe KHS stand for?

It's rough - weather came into play earlier in the year and now the low turnout is probably based on the date of the event (Halloween) and that many are not interested in the current regime. This is not Lamar - where the status quo is observed without fault. Our fans are reacting to the product as they view it on the field. [/quote] The current football product at Dan Rather State is as pathetic as it's most famous Alum (DR) and it's self appointed mouthpiece (TT).  And if you were as smart as you claim to be, you would know that Lamar doesn't stand for mediocrity.

[quote name="akifan94" post="696688" timestamp="1257346558"] Let's see. You can't bring yourselves to an educated discussion about a possible match-up so you resort to trash talking and name calling (which is fine by me due to the middle school level quality of debate coming from the opposing side). When you stop chasing your tail and realize you are back at square one with a mediocre team and limited chance to win you have to play the smartarse and bring up a game that will not happen and 99% of PN-G fans realize would be a very long shot to compete in. What point are you making. That you are not very funny? It never fails to amaze me how many OTHER teams fans find the need to interject their opinion into a PN-G discussion. I understand it is hard to like us when you can't be us. [/quote] You just proved why he put this sarcastic thread on board.  This is one of the funnier posts I have seen in a long time.

I am surprised that P4E didn't come up with something like "most of the 8th graders were called up to varsity for this week" as an excuse!  But after reading his post he was abnormally complimentary.

[/quote] None of those schools would visit an FCS school. Against C-USA and SBC by-laws...some of you have much to learn re: football!  :D You are a pompous *ss! [/quote]
