We go from insults to Math equations. I thought this was for serious predictions. Are you new here....pretty much we all say the home team is going to win by 40, then we deride all the other homers who predict their team to win, then we insult each other and talk about the other team's town, pollution, dilapidated mall, etc....it's fun, you should try it.

I have a hard time seeing Lumberton losing this game. It's really going to come down more to the Lumberton offense versus the Livingston defense.

It is pretty impressive they're competitive in only their second year of varsity ball.

You click on the link on the Toups Graphics Homepage and it sends you to 13's webpage but you can't find the videos anywhere???

Why do I hear the music from "Deliverance" playing now? I guess I was thinking about the Dayton Homecoming Dance. Wait, please tell me someone from BAYTOWN is not calling out Dayton. I guess that third ear has heightened your ability to hear long distances....??

At least we won't have to hear that terrible program the band has put together for this year. I thought the job of the band was to get everyone excited and not put us to sleep. There's too much "art" there and not enough cheap shallow "dancin" music.

Is it Friday yet??? Wonder who the weather would favor....man it's ugly outside... Is this Dayton's Homecoming? I don't much pay attention to that. Figured we'd schedule Crosby for Homecoming every year we play them at home. What are they 1-12 against Stewart??

King is down considerably from last year. I'd be surprised if BH doesn't take this one by three touchdowns.

Pretty sure Dayton's been 4A since the '70's. The more I watch the highlights the more that I'm thinking this game could be for the district championship. I know early early in the season but it looks like BH, Dayton, and GCM are the three best teams. King is WAY down from last year and I don't think KP, GP, Crosby, and NF have a run in them. Who's in the 4th spot is the question I guess...or I may be getting way ahead of myself.

QB is a little scrambler though and throws well on the run. Doesn't seem to run all that much just scrambles to throw the ball. The more I watch the less I'm being impressed by the GCM offensive line. I expect to see Dayton's line manhandle them most of the game. The little QB is unpredictable and is going to have to make a lot of plays throwing on the run and improvising which he seems to do pretty well. Running back looks pretty quick....misses a lot of holes though. Seems to be impatient.

Not from what I've seen on tape but they're not always the best camera angles. I'd much rather be playing an I-Formation, run it straight at us team.....

This is much better reading after the mundane KP comments and the bye week since Friendswood. Can we play Sulphur Springs again....they had much better smack talkers....

The little Nevada pistol offense looks interesting....don't see that very much. We all know how we do against teams that pass pass pass....what's it now 5 straight years that a much athletic Friendswood team has taken us down? Although from the highlights I've been able to find, I wouldn't expect a 55 point outing from either team on Friday.

GCM has been blowing everyone out that they've played....they'll get their first real test this week. My guess is their defense will see speed they haven't seen to this point yet. Broncos execution on offense must get better. GCM has not seen any kind of defense like Dayton's. Close, ugly game with the Broncos pulling away late is what I expect. 24-10

Not too much in the way of a scouting report on these guys huh?

I'm sure KW Park will be improved after not having any seniors last year. I wouldn't say they give the Broncos much trouble in the end. I expect a resounding victory for the purple....

Ah man another year and another loss to Friendswood. Gotta get off the field on 3rd down and 17. Third down conversions killed Dayton on both sides of the ball, dropped passes. Overall a MUCH uglier game than I've come to expect between these two teams. Friendswood seemed to have more of the kinks worked out on offense. This game really could have gone either way IMO but the real turning point was the dropped pass by Franks on third down when he had 3 steps on the defender and quite a bit more speed to outrun him to the endzone. The FW turns a screen pass into a touchdown. Overall I'd say two fairly evenly matched teams on the whole where one played better than the other. FW has some monster linebackers (32 & 33 I think...especially 33) that play sideline to sideline, take great angles, and don't miss tackles. However, Dayton had a pretty significant speed advantage at the skill positions. Offensive consistency will help greatly and not giving short field after short field will help as well. I thought the defense played really well especially after the halftime adjustments but eventually got worn down from being on the field for so long. These teams play ten times and I think they go 5-5.

Payton Ploch qb dayton 256 yards rushing 3 td's 140 yards passing and 2 touchdowns Wow no kidding...in his first game ever as a QB?? Not bad....

Oh god don't talk about Franks....mmmmmmmmmmmm....just don't look in the kitchen!! Don't think you old farts have a monopoly on Franks either

Something doesn't smell right about this whole thing....

I wouldn't underestimate Rollison; he actually had a better arm than Gilbert and more accurate. He couldn't read a defense like Gilbert however but he could move much better and throw on the run. His RB and receivers were better as well. Their defense however.....nothing like LT. I'd love to have either guy but Gilbert's ceiling seems higher...just a smarter player IMO.

Is it just me or is the entire 4A top ten minus Lake Travis located around DFW??

Just saw some of the highlights on youtube....not sure if it was a scrimmage or game?? Offense looks dynamite though...just needs some tuning up. Multiple formations, PASSING, and there was a bit of a skip in the players step....didn't go to the game just commenting on the highlights. Although the QB could sure work on a quicker release....it's like Kerry Collins times 8....once he gets it out he sure zings it though.

I will jump off the top of the stands if there's another flea flicker bomb for a td with 38 seconds left.... :'( :'( :'(

Haha, I'm not sure I would use the word "great" but to each his own. I only saw one "great" player on the field in last year's game. The usual Freakswood size advantage will be less...good early season test for both sides. But really though...Ball?? C'mon
