[/quote] I like it.  We might lose one or two, but it has seemed to work for us come playoff time. [/quote] Nice prep for the title run. You will probably see those last three again in November/December

Pretty sure Crosby has an openi...Never Mind! ;D

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="752491" timestamp="1264962799"] Are they going to keep Forney at qb? Tyler Smith started the year in front of him on the depth chart before he got hurt. They might just keep Forney back at DE. [/quote] Gotta keep Forney at QB. He really got that passing attack going.

[quote name="AJ25" post="751163" timestamp="1264725562"] It's all about the [b]$$$$[/b].[b] LU is very similar to the Houston Astros[/b]. Afraid to spend money. They decided in the 80s to be a primarlily basketball school, and they had a good run. But it's over now. If they ever want to get back to where they were, they have to fork up the money. Honestly though, this is now a football, baseball, basketball school. In that order. I don't think Tubbs main focus is basketball right now, nor should it be. [/quote] What planet are you on? I love it when people complain about the Astros not spending money and don't do any actual research!!! Houston had the 8th highest payroll in 2009 ($103 million). Behind huge markets NY (Yankes and Mets); Chicago Cubs; Boston; Detroit (only smaller market); LA Angels; And Philli. Which is proof it ain't about how much you spend, it's about who you spend it on. As far as Roc and graduation rates, again check the numbers. From what I understand this year already graduated is Hall, Nabors and Nwevo. Custer will graduate early as well. The hits for graduation came from a few years back when some of the JUCO guys left or were dismissed for obvious reasons.

[quote name="LU4LIFE" post="750646" timestamp="1264643530"] Turnovers kills us [/quote] SHSU had 19 TO's and LU had 18...Not what killed LU and not what has killed LU away from home this year. This is what kills LU: SHSU Shooting Percentage : 53%      3pt Percentage: 55% LU Shooting Percentage:      36%      3pt Percentage: 25% Two things here 1. LU is a horrible shooting team, especially from downtown. 2. Opponents get way too many shots from inside 10 feet. Also...Where has Charlie Harper gone?? If there is a Charlie Harper sighting, please let him know it's SLC time!

I think they need to do a little research before they make a statement like that and cancel a game. Maybe they should contact the Beaumont schools and ask their opinion. I am sure they will find out it is "SAFE"!

Congrats to both. Great seasons. Both players made big impacts on their teams.

[quote name="DogOne" post="749438" timestamp="1264458595"] I have no problem with badndn's formula.  In fact, I think it's very good.  I just think that some first round playoff games are little more than scrimmages.  For example, Longview (9-1 at the time) beat Whitehouse (3-7) 52 to 9; Lake Travis (10-0) beat Austin Crockett (3-6) 58 to 7; Brenham (8-2) beat Manor (2-8) 49 to 14; Refugio (10-0) beat Boling (4-6) 69 to 20; and Dallas Skyline (10-0) beat Garland Rowlett (4-6) 38 to 0 in their first round playoff games last season.    [/quote] Thats understood, but per capita there are more good matchups than bad in the first round, so it would be hard to handicap. I guess the only other way to do it would have been to give a point for 1st rnd, 2 for 2nd and so on.

[quote name="DogOne" post="749373" timestamp="1264449877"] "One thing you know for sure is a playoff win is a well earned point" What if that 1st round playoff win comes against the 4th place team from one of the "weaker districts"?      [/quote] Still worth more than a regular season win.

I figured the real measure of success is playoff wins. Some teams that are in weaker districts would mop up each year on easy regular season points, but bow out in the first or second round each year and look like great programs, when in fact they are just good programs. If two teams in a district both make the playoffs. Team A goes 6-4 reg season, but goes five deep in the playoffs Team B goes 10-0 reg season, But looses in the 1st round Who had the better program? Say team A played a tuff non-district going 1-3 and went 5-1 in district and team B played a buch of pushovers predistrict. One thing you know for sure is a playoff win is a well earned point.

Very proud of all the girls. That wake up call hopefully set the tone for the rest of the spring. Love the way the responded. They all hit lights out in those last two games!

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="747909" timestamp="1264176945"] 7-9 should get them in the tourney. Plus I think they can beat Texas State and Northwestern State on the road. They should be close to 7-9 in SLC play. [/quote] They will not beat TS on the road. To beat TS the Cards will have to outgun them and if this season has taught me anything it is that they aint outgunning anybody on the road. NWS on the road I could see.

Congrats to the BH faithful...While I have my doubts about BH winning with the BONE, I have to admit Gage has a great track record.

[quote name="playdefense" post="745050" timestamp="1263690900"] Watch - A relative unknown will get the Barbers Hill job.  Maybe someone with a spouse in the district or some sort of connection.  Seems like the "big" names do not want it and they will go with someone that is not seen as in the hunt and then if that does not work they will get a chance to hire the big name to reshape the program. [/quote] Good Call!!! What's your real name "Nate Kedding??" ;D

[quote name="T-daddy" post="747891" timestamp="1264174702"] good work and thanks for your time badndn... [/quote] No problem. It was actually kinda cool going through and placing real meaningful values on wins and playoff appearances. We all talk alot about our favorite programs, but most of us look at what have you done for me lately and tend to forget about the recent history. As a PNG fan I thought before I did the stats that PNG was a top program in the GT over the past decade, but most of that was based on last year and that feeling we all have about the future. The numbers don't lie...They tell me I was wrong! Kinda gives some perspective into the Burnett era since D. Long left (1999 which was one year before the decade!). As an overall program I think the ammenaties, current staff and results from the Varsity and JV last year (21-1) at PNG make it a potential top program, but time will tell.

Nothing wrong at all with your statement Coop. As seen the LU Predictions thread I bumped from pre-season, I picked LU to go 16-16 and 6-10. So if they go 8-8 I would consider it a big success this year. Problem is I don't see them winning on the road and several of the remaining home games are against tough teams that the Cards will have a lot of trouble with. Remember folks, this team has 2 SLC wins, both at home, both close, close games against bad teams! If you can't put away the bad teams at home...What do you really think they will do against the good teams at home? The future looks bright. Love the impact that Minor has had on this team as a true Fish(could be that lock down perimeter defender LU hasn't had in a long time). And Brown getting meaningful PT is also great. Getting Miles off the point next year will be a plus for Miles and LU. He could be a league MVP before he is done and Harper will put up the numbers Nabors is on the boards and in points, and maybe more because he is developing a legit outside game. Also think Lopez needs to get more PT. He handles the ball well, is super fast, and seems to be the only PG we have that has no problem making the entry pass to the post. Which has driven me insane for several years now. We have had SG at PG the last 4 years and they appeared to be hesitant to make the pass down low. Lopez sees the court well and gets the ball in to the post before the defense reacts. he also doesn't appear to be lacking in confidence in making the pass. Tell me I am not alone in this thinking.

bump

I am assuming at 6'7" 275 lbs he would switch to DE if he was athletic enough to play TE. Not a lot of need for a big, big TE in the Spread. Really need a H Back type 6'3" 235 range with great hands.

Team of the decade!!! Katy Tigers 83.88 Points 88% winning percent, 45 playoff wins, 6 title appearances and 4 State Championships. Close second Celina 78.90 points 90% winning percent, 40 playoff wins, 6 title appearances and 4 State Championships. (interesting side note is that Celina won state titles in 1999 & 98 as well) And in third Southlake Carroll 76.88 Points 88% winning percent, 41 playoff wins, 5 title appearances and 4 State Championships. And for good measure Lake Travis after starting out the decade (6-6) (1-9) (0-10) (3-7) finished strong going (15-1) (16-0) (15-0) with 19 playoff wins and 3 State titles in 3 appearances for a total of 43.67 points.

(6-5) (11-2) (14-2) (5-5) (9-2) (14-1) (11-2) (8-3) (8-5) (13-3) 21 playoff wins and 2 title appearances. Just behind Newton who had 25 playoff wins, 2 title appearances and one State Championship.
