22-5A


Recommended Posts

My point is, Walker won the job as starter at the beginning of last season, and did a fine job of leading the team. No, he wasn't perfect, neither was any other QB in the nation. Much like Nederland, the Indians played as a TEAM last year, and brought us back from a 2-8 season. I have faith that Coach Faircloth will utilize the talent we have coming up in the best possible way.

So Morse could have been the leading passer in the district this past year.  What's your point?

To be fair though, he did most of his work when the game was out of hand. Even with how good you may think he played, PNG still had to use 2 trick plays to score and it was still 42-14 after the first play in the 4th quarter. Crosby backed off and was just trying not to get guys hurt because we had a game the next week, plus I'm sure Riordan didn't want to show too much. Morse isn't the most mobile kid and if he would have started the game and seen the same pressure Walker did he probably wouldn't have finished either.

Hard to compare subvarsity teams as indicators.  Talent is so spread out on subvarsity and some players don't find their position to holes are filled on varsity.  There is a rise in talent in PNG, it will be interesting how everything comes together.  Lumberton doesn't seem to have the coaching and has lack of confidence on the field.  Ozen is one good coach away from winning big and Central should be at the top of the food chain with Foreman 2. Neumann IV(don't you think of Jerry Seinfield yelling "Neaumann" is what the other coaches have been doing the past several years after games). GCM is no slouch and Lee is unpredictable. Don't forget Vidor.

Well..... Whatever the strategy Crosby played in "backing off and not showing too much" sure didn't help much in their arse whipping suffered at the hands of Elgin the very next week. Sad that all that talk about that deep playoff run only resulted in a skid mark run as dark as a chocolate hershey bar in their jockey shorts.

28-28 with 6 mins left in the game against the #6 team in the state, the strategy was working well. Hard to keep the strategy together when the district MVP goes down though. You should know all about that. I don't know which mid-county team you cheer for but we didn't even need to wait until the 4th quarter,Crosby whipped both of their arses from whistle to whislte. I believe the Cougs scored 115 points in those two games which really weren't competitive. I got to see one "skid mark", how many did your team leave?

I'm not big on stats because I don't believe they tell the whole story, but I have someone close to Indians athletics send me some stats. I don't know how accurate they are, but maybe some of the Indian Faithful can weigh in on this.

Walker's stats against teams that made playoffs. Crosby,LCM,Central,SC,NED

47/101(46%) 620 yds  5 TD'S  10 INT'S.  If this info is accurate; for the sake of Debate what does a Coach do?? I don't envy his position. Either way I Pray the Team rallies behind whomever & stay focused. Like i've always said, Most Fans are full of CRAP anyways.

Think you got to see more than 1 "skid mark". Lets not forget the 60+ Summer Creek delivered.

We delivered 50 of our own in that one. We didn't really "skid" in that one as much as dropping a 4th down pass at the SC 10 that would have led to a tied game with less than 3 minutes left. Y'all left a "skid mark" against every team you played from our district.

That is until we start fighting during the season...lol. We'll have to meet up at one of the Hamburger Depot shows, If I can work up the nerve to go back. You know I talked a lot of smack about Crosby and should have kept it zipped. :D

We've all wrote a check our................................ you know the rest :lol:    But I really would like to set up a meeting with a few peeps on here @ the Depot one day

Didnt they play as Freshman? How'd that turn out? I know! So what changed so drastically in one year???? NOTHING

PNG finally, after 10 years of youth and middle school football beatdowns at the hands of Lumberton, squeaked out a win as freshmen, Congratulations.  All the credit goes to Morse and Leckich for that win. If those two teams played 10 times, Lumberton probably wins 8 or 9 times.

So what happens with all of the youth league and middle school talent? Y'all need some coaching, kids to quit moving, or what?

The group of kids that will be playing on Friday nights for the next few years are not worried about what might have happened in the past.  They are extremely focused and committed and they only know how to win.  They don't know any other way and nobody is going to change that.

Crosby this year is the Summer Creek of last year ,  actions that fell way short of all of the yapping.

    • Nah… to be completely honest, I think it goes like this.  I’m split on it.    Part of me says that there’s a segment of voters who believe that trump should be the ruler, whatever that means. It’s about 25% of R voters according to polls. They’re the hardcore Trump loyalists… the kind of people who would travel to DC in the winter to hear Trump speak at a rally, then ransack the Capitol… maybe trump doesn’t believe his own “you’ll never have to vote again” rhetoric-but he’s just throwing red meat to the fascism supporting minority of the R party. Kinda like he does when he says racist crap to fire up the minority of his followers (cough, Baddog, cough) who really don’t like brown skins or foreigners. You know, Trump doesn’t really want unilateral power, he just needs to whip up his voters who think he should have unilateral power. It’s possible, right? Then the other side of me sees who he was willing to say or do ANYTHING to remain in office, even after it became obvious that he didn’t have the votes. The fact that he refuses to accept reality as late as the debate last week makes me think, “no… this guy is the real deal, willing to do ANYTHING to get back in office and then willing to do anything to keep it and/or hand it off to his heir apparent.     Over time, things have ping-ponged back and forth between monarchies/fascists who get overrun by the masses, then that form of government (populist) erodes to the point where a strong man seizes power.  I think we fought off socialism/communism as a republic and in 2024 we’re fighting off a facist-style movement where enough of the population has enough faith in one leader to give them absolute power.    But that’s just my opinion. Trump and his hardcore followers (the ones who aren’t in prison for their 1/6 activities represent the biggest internal threat to our democracy that we’ve seen in my lifetime.  The fact that it’s originating from “my” side is what’s particularly troubling to me. I would have expected the left to converge around a popular leftist, not the right. 
    • I don’t tune in all the time, but I do like Kat. I’m know the studio audience and tv audience enjoyed the show.
    • It looks like Tyler won this game last year and both team look to be much improved.  I think Lufkin may struggle a little out of the box bringing the QB back in, but the Lufkin D will help in that transition. I see Lufkin by 14 as Tyler should struggle to score. Seeya next week 👊
