The big story for now is the gametime weather conditions.The wealthy class of Lake Travis will not have the ac & heated indoor practice field @college station.After a few body shots in the wet/cold they won't want any more.I have watched country boys for years get out in the cold/wet/mud to play a little football.Dayton will take it to them "BIG TIME" 50-19

Just got an email from Jake Shaw from DCTF.  Here's what HE says:

I disagreed with our pick online and think Dayton will win. I think Dayton can score with Lake Travis. The difference in the teams is Dayton’s defense – it’s better and faster than LT’s.

Bottom line … I don’t think Dayton has played an offense as good as Lake Travis’ … and I don’t think Lake Travis has played a defense as good as Dayton’s. I’d say Dayton by 3. Second bottom line: I wish I was going to the game.

I like his thinking WAY better!!! ;D

BTW,  he picked Dayton all the way from round 1.

I know this blog as stated before Austin L.Travis beat #1 Houston area[ Tx.City ] in game #1 this year 32-31.Tx.City went undefeated the rest of the season till they got chrushed by Dayton 4 weeks ago in the cold & rain 42-10 & did not manage a 1 st down till 2 min.before halftime. I know that district w/La Marque-Dickinson-Friendswood-Brazosport & playoff rival Bay City are all better than Lake Travis opponents who A cpl. 3 win/7 loss teams nearly beat them.True they put up some numbers but what kind of numbers do you think G.Charles & Bronco recievers would have put up if #1 Charles had QB'd 14 instead of 10 games & passed 80-90 percent of the time.Look for Dayton to have a monster game against their defense,and shut down Austin.50-19

Lake Travis' defense looks to be the difference maker in this game by shutting down Dayton's offense!

Lake Travis couldn't shut down Beeville Jones and from the looks of it, their defense hasn't shut down anyone all year.  Look, this is the Patriots/Colts match-up from years past.  The high glam offense against the great defense.  What's overlooked, as was with the Patriots, is the match-up on the other side of the ball for both teams.  LT will probably score some points, but Dayton's offense doesn't exactly suck either.  3 top notch receivers, 1 great receiver, a good running back, and a good quarterback.  Pick your poison, they can run or pass.  Balanced team vs a pass happy offensive team.  Who would you pick?  I've never seen these guys play before, unlike Dayton's Crosby, Texas City, Livingston, and Waller playoff run thus far so I'm interested to see if Lake Travis lives up to the hype.

Yes I know he has put up some big stats this year, but I really think that Dayton has a secondary and LB crew that this young man will have alot of trouble with. These guys from Dayton have unbelievable athletic ability.

The only trouble the QB had was picking who he wanted to throw to ;D

ya he shreaded dayton defence like cheese i hope old mack brown putting an eye on this boy

Believe me, everyone that is a proponent of the New Spread is keeping an eye on this youngster.  UT may have the inside route just because of his Dad's affiliation.  Garrett could go to UT and not worry about being in his Father's shadow - not the same position.  The guy is a MAJOR talent!

Garrett's dad is Gale Gilbert.... Not Chris. Gale went to California, played QB and was in NFL on the bills 4 AFC champ teams, and was on San Diego's AFC Champ team.

Thanks for the clarification.  Chris Gilbert was not that big and I didn't understand how he had a son that grew to 6'4" (and maybe still growing) but I was giving his mother credit for the height.  Chris played a MEAN tailback position for the Horns at about 5' 11" and 175 pounds.  That was back in the good ol' days.

      Orangefield 65 Livingston 83/FINAL

      By Cu Chulainn · Posted

      Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McnNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

      I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.

      JoeBama Administration Gives NGOs Millions To Facilitate Immigration Invasion!

      By Reagan · Posted

      @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
