Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted December 14, 2020 Report Posted December 14, 2020 No wonder I couldn't find the game thread on the Football Friday App last night. If it's played it'll probably be somewhere in West Texas, San Angelo maybe im guessing. Quote
SmashMouth Posted December 15, 2020 Report Posted December 15, 2020 At least it’s just postponed and not canceled. Hopefully they get it out of the ditch and back on the road soon. Quote
Hooohead.com Posted December 15, 2020 Report Posted December 15, 2020 I was reading somewhere the State Championship is the only game that can be rescheduled in any sport but all the rest is a forfeit and a recieved win to the team not having to cancel due to covid... Quote

That is correct. Just before the playoffs began, the UIL issued a statement that the State Championship game, and only the state championship game could be rescheduled. The other playoff games would be forfeits in favor of the team not having a covid issue. Quote

If I remember correctly, before they started playing the 6 man championship in Arlington, Shotwell in Abilene was the destination for 6-man. Maybe they would play it at Shotwell for old times sake.... Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote

OldBuc77 Posted December 17, 2020 Report Posted December 17, 2020 The Star would be a good choice. Quote

Guest ECBucFan Posted December 27, 2020 Report Posted December 27, 2020 I am seeing: Balmorhea vs. Richland Springs, 11 a.m., Wednesday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington Not sure, thats just what I ran across. I would think San Angelo ISD would be a better venue all things considered. Quote
WOSdrummer99 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Posted December 27, 2020 I was hoping UIL would allow them to be part of the big school games at AT&T. I feel sorry for the kids who won't get a chance to play on the big stage. Maybe it was their choice to play at a more central location. Quote

I don't think they have to rent the stadium like normal playoff games. But even if my tax money went to that 3 times, it's cool. Quote

FSSW makes money off of advertisers plus fees that they collected for subletting telecast right to preo-championship week playoff games. Not to mention that the UIL charges a fee for radio broadcasters ($200 per broadcast entity). Their coffers are quite full after champ weekend. Quote
