SEC fan bases before Texas got there: “The horns aren’t ready for this. Every week is a battle.” SEC fan bases after Texas arrived: “Texas has the easiest SEC schedule ever!” SEC fan bases after every one of their teams has lost to one or more SEC teams from the bottom half of the standings, many of whom Texas beat comfortably: 🤐

With a big win against the rival to close out the year… look to see Lamar make the playoffs next year 

You must be referring to LaPorte's defense?  PNG scored 49, but gave up 35.  It's been a few weeks since that game, but if I recall, LP's 2 or 3 RBs and their QB looked pretty danged healthy to me.   Edit:  Looking back at the game thread, LP did have some defensive starters out for that game.  That was an early season game, though; lots of changes on both teams since then, especially on defense.  

Which one is which?  LP is Open Enrollment and although BH is technically “closed” by GCCISD’s own admission BH has taken twice as many GCCISD transfers than DP, LP, or NS just in this past year.  A LOT of these transfers have been happening in Jr High to avoid PAPF/eligibility questions which is why UIL is tightening things up on transfers between 8th and 9th grades starting in Aug plus sending a UIL rep to observe DEC meetings of Districts with high numbers of transfers in/out.     Oh, BTW, Lee was 6-4 this year, while RSS was 3-7 and GCM was 0-10.  Neither the RSS or GCM results are surprising but REL did well this year.
