What happened to D-FW this year?

[Guest ECBucFan]

In 6A-Div 1, 4 CenTex teams, 2 Houston teams, and two D-FW teams are left. Only one, Allen or Trinity, can advance to the Semis.

In 6A Div2, only 1 of 8 remaining teams is from D-FW, and Southlake Carroll may go down this week against undefeated Waco Midway. Div2 has 3 CenTex, 2 Houston, and 2 East TX teams.   

Granted, 5A and down has more DF-W teams still alive, but some will knock each other out soon. It LOOKS like this might be a slim year for the D-FW area as far as the State Champions are concerned. Gee, Too bad for them, LOL.

Wouldn't it be cool if D-FW was shut out of Jerry's during Championship weekend? Not really gonna happen but the thought of it is hysterical!

They should rotate the state championship. NRG did a good job. DFW didn't travel. They shouldn't be rewarded for that. Also put San Antonio back in the mix. I wouldn't mind it being held at UT or AM. It's an outdoor sport!

Money is the bottom line factor for the UIL and Jerry Jones. Marriage made in hell for the rest of the state of Texas. It is nice to play at Dallas but NRG and San Antonio is good as well.

"Slim" year for DFW with only 15 teams left in the playoffs: Trinity, Carroll, Ryan, HP, Lakeridge, Richland, Aledo, Mansfield, Lone Star, Kennedale, Kaufman, Heritage, Grandview, Allen, Melissa.

Just look at the attendance at state championship games when they're at AT&T compared to other venues....it's not even close! Bottom line is the games need to be and will continue to be played at Jerry world. It's the nicest stadium in the world and the DFW area is hands down where the best football in the state is played. 

 

P.S.  It's so dang great to see 89Falcon back in the mix!!! We've missed you brother!!

NRG did a terrible job hosting the event.  They didn't even do the research to realize that some of the smaller classifications bring a huge crowd.  Seating was not good.  The state games are played exactly where they should be.

Not possible. 5ADII has 4 teams left in Region 1 and 2. One of the four will be in the final.

I did not say it was "possible". I was speaking in a hypothetical sense, that it would be really cool if D-FW was shut out at home. I am willing to bet fans all across TX would laugh.

Houston was penalized because the D-FW folks REFUSED TO TRAVEL. Also D-FW is credited when Houston and CenTex DOES TRAVEL. 

Ironic, isn't it.

Did you miss the part where I said:

You must have missed it, even though you quoted it. 

In 6A Div 1, D-FW has only 2 of 8, in Div2, In 6A D-FW has only 1 of 8. Check back Sunday and see their numbers shrink more.

Yeah, I "missed it". Just in case you "missed it", 15 teams left from DFW. Let me know which area has more....

Why would fans across Texas laugh?

They will not have to worry about it this year. There will be at least two champions from DFW if not four.

He thinks the rest of the state is mad about the venue being at Jerry World every year like SeTx folks...but honestly they don't care.  In fact, they recognize that Cowboy Stadium is, in fact, the nicest field in the state therefore high school state championships should be played there.  If DFW was shut out in Dallas only a few SeTx people would even think about it let alone laugh about it.

The state championship is the only weekend a year is football played at that monstrosity! 

All jokes aside DFW doesn't travel well and that hurt Houston.  The Triangle, H-Town and Super CenTex all hit the road and DFW gets credit. That's B.S.

Its a tremendous advantage for those teams to play at home. For that reason alone it should rotate. Houston and San Antonio need to fight harder to host this major event.

It may not be AT&T stadium but the seat selection at NRG is rock solid. Its designed for watching football unlike that building up North.

Been to AT&T 10 times and never paid attention to the action on the field. Can't say that about NRG and that is a compliment of the highest regards.

I will buy that ...but not until the other venues can give the teams a similar experience.  Until then the State Champs deserve to play their last game of the year at the nicest field in the state.  Location is irrelevant.

D-FW teams have a built in advantage of HOME GAMES every single year right at the point where the stakes are the highest. What if Katy - Allen squares off? Think Jerrys is a "neutral site" for that game? Aledo has enjoyed a home game for years for their wins too. It is blatantly unfair, but yes I know few are willing to admit it because its uncomfortable to do so. It taints the D-WF wins somewhat. No need to re-debate this. 

I think fans across the state would love to see the automatically advantaged D-FW teams lose. Feel free to disagree. I don't care if you do.

Thank you. I am glad to see another person who sees the truth of the matter. Too many others here can't do it.

 Is AT&T Stadium the reason that there are currently 15 teams from DFW still in the playoffs with no other area remotely close?

Ok.  Jerry World has nothing to do with DFW teams making it to the championship game...but ok.

Why so jealous? Find me a player that doesn’t want to play in the Greatest Stadium in Texas. Kids don’t dream about playing in houston or in San antonio but they do dream about playing where AMERICA’s TEAM plays!!!
