Dickie V, is that you?

Am I the only one who is clueless about that happened at the end of the HJ/JJ seeding game? Anyone care to fill us in?

What was with the drama after the game last night?

And for all of you Larry Haynes worshippers, there is basically a whole segment devoted to him. lol

I stumbled across the first episode of a new podcast hosted by Tomball High coach Kevin Flannigan and it is absolute gold. If you are a TXHSFB fan, or a former player who has fond memories of listening to your old coaches stories on long summer afternoons hanging out in the field house, you will love this podcast. I listened this morning and laughed so hard my stomach hurt. It also dug up some old memories of free time spent with my coaches from high school. I found it on the Apple Podcast app. The first episode was released yesterday and it features interviews with Dick Olin and Chris Massey. I suggest you download and listen if you are into that type of thing.

Having been in the stadium for the past 8 years for the games, I feel confident I can give you a pretty accurate partial list..... Carthage Argyle North Shore Allen Canadian Mart

Please....

Welcome to the board Coach Worley.

Playoffs? Playoffs?! I do not think they were in any danger of having to worry about playoffs anyhow.

Why not bring Toby home?

Scored tickets. Guess I will sit amongst the sea of purple. Looking forward to it.

Where can you get tickets for the home side?

I am seeing sold out on both sides. This can't be. Can anyone clarify the situation, or tell me if you have 5-6 tickets you are willing to sale?

What's the ticket situation? Do we have to buy them online or will they be at the gate?

Thanks. Where can I get them?

Will tickets be available at the gate for this one?

Do all of these games have options to buy tickets at the gate? If not, does anyone have the online purchasing options?

date and stadium for this game?

Do we really believe there are officials, who are working games for pennies, for the sole intent of ensuring one race of kids wins over another race of kids? And even if those guys are out there (which, for clarity, I do not believe they are), do we really believe they would be throwing racial slurs around exposing their nefarious intent during games? Come on man.

This is my yearly reminder that no one signs with D3 colleges. They are committed to show up and play, but there are no ramifications if they decide not to show up or if they go to another school at the last minute. There are no scholarships in D3 so there is nothing to sign. It's still quite the accomplishment, but it irks me when the pageantry associated with a player signing to play football at Alabama is duplicated by someone signing to play football at ETBU. And before anyone comes at me for disrespecting D3 sports, I am not doing that. I played D3 football and understand exactly how talented the kids are out there. Everyone on those D3 fields was first team all district where they came from and can absolutely go. I just hate that we have watered down every thing in today's culture. Sheesh, select baseball players get rings for finishing second place in John's baseball tournament in BFE Texas. Sorry, rant over.

[Hidden Content] Now for personal consequences. See @SmashMouth, the whole team didn't get an assault charge. Consequences are being distributed fairly.

Great decision by Edinburg ISD. They just set precedent and didn't want on the UIL to do it for them. I promise you, we won't see something like this happen again for a long time since everyone now knows how severe the punishments will be.

They knew this kid was a liability and had potential to pop off at any second. The key words in the article posted above are "best defensive player".....that's the only reason he was out there. Kinda like when Jimmy Johnson coined the phrase "Troy Aikman rules". Had this been a second string receiver, he would've never been in a uniform. The district is absolutely responsible for this happening and should be held accountable. One thing I will promise you, if the UIL comes down hard on the school and coach, you will see this behavior come to an immediate end across the state. Adults seem to be able to get this kind of stuff under control when their jobs are contingent on things other than wins and losses. The article indicates the team won the game and earned their first playoff birth in quite some time. The UIL needs to reverse the decision of the game, or immediately disqualify them from being able to participate in the playoffs.

There is video of the soccer incident floating around.....quite similar.

This exactly. Team sport, team consequences.
