Why play in Rusk?   15 miles farther you guys could have played in Jacksonville at the Tomato Bowl 

The freshman RB that was called up early is as others have described. If he chooses a solid path, he could easily be LP’s first 5 star. That’s saying something with the RB’s that have come through La Porte. There have been Olympic gold medalists, NFL players, and others. But, no 5 stars I’m aware of… Let’s hope he listens to solid role models, and realizes the opportunity he’s been given to use the talent he’s been gifted. On top of that, Barnes, Sandolph, and Bright are still there. Not sure how coach keeps them all happy spreading the ball around.

I just heard we spent $500 Million in Russia to study cats.  Anyone actually gullible enough to think that money actually went to study cats?!   SMH!  

Grand Saline is not Newton. A loss will only extend historical outcomes.

Calpreps has LP (61%) by 7. Massey has BH (61%) by 5. One of them will be wrong. At this point, all teams left are solid teams. LP and BH know each other from being district mates the past 2 years. But, this is a different LP team. I haven’t seen an LP team with this much offensive firepower since the late 70’s. Even with teams stacking nine—like Austin Anderson last week and Angleton (who has a very solid D)—LP is still rushing for over 500 & 400 yards respectively. They’re averaging right at 10 ypc. So—as I told some Anderson folks who thought they just had to ‘slow’ LP down to win—this isn’t a typical ‘3 yards & cloud of dust’ LP team. Meanwhile, the D has been very good at containing the opponent’s big weapons. Again, they held a high flying Anderson squad to their 2nd lowest point total of the season. That includes Anderson’s losses to AMC, CS, and Weiss. Typically, I’d say this game will be close. This time, I have to say, unless LP shoots themselves in the foot, I don’t see this one being as close as the last two between these teams. That being said, LP had 3 TD’s called back, 1 blocked FG, and 2 TO’s in the first half last week. One of the TO’s was a touchback from the 1. They still scored 42 with an explosion in the 4th quarter. But, they were also sloppy against Angleton after getting a big lead, and almost lost that game as well. They had to score a late TD to break the tie. So, I’m a little concerned about their mistakes. Soon, a team will make them pay. No matter their talent. Hopefully, the game will be streamed.
