First preseason poll? That's the second of the 'big three'. I actually vote in two of the three. :)

We'll teach you Coop!

Any Given Saturday Poll, Coaches Poll and Sports Network. The SME Broadcasting poll is relatively new -- we'll see how well that does.

Yes, the AGS poll is considered one of the top three and actually has had more teams in the playoffs from their preseason poll than the other two the last few years, plus more in the preseason as in the final poll as well. They're probably the most educated bunch.

That's the positive side. The negative side, or the TexasTerror side, would be that Lamar will go winless and drop completely out of sight of the polls. ;D

Told you guys not to schedule as tough a schedule or to hop into the SLC so quickly...look for Lamar to vanish pretty quickly. I know I did not vote for them and will continue not to do so...

Don't vote for Lamar, we haven't earned votes at this point. Do you think the administration waits to see what Texas Terror says before making a decision? Please, that sounds very arrogant.

Sorry, I missed the sarcasm.... I apologize for my remark. I admit it was funny seeing Lamar with votes and until next Monday there isn't a single player on the team.

Sarcasm has a way of not making the transition successfully to message boards or online chats, eh?

Lamar actually did not have any votes...unless there was an error and they changed it. Apparently, Hofstra was admitted from the initial release according to a post on AGS.

This is the official ORV:

    • Bye Week beat Beaumont United by double digits so not all is bad 😁
    • He made the comment as a business man he hated overtime. He never said or implied he wanted to do away with it. He has said overtime should not be taxed. That will benefit the refinery workers in our area big time…..as well as nurses. Not only would you not pay taxes and see the benefit immediately on your paycheck, my guess that at the end of the year, you would subtract all the overtime from your total wages, thus lowering your taxable imcome.
    • Well I thought it would be a better matchup for us more so than us versus yall and we got whooped 🤷🏾‍♂️ we'll see, long time before Ball High meets Lufkin though. 
    • Very critical win for Crosby last night. At no point has the current regime given me any reason to think Crosby should be able to pencil in wins but for the sake of discussion I will for FB Kempner who we play two weeks from now and also Porter who we play a couple of weeks after that. That means if Crosby can beat Kingwood Park next week we’ll most likely finish district play 5-2 and in at least 3rd place.    That being, the team could be a lot better if we had a competent offensive coach. Crosby’s offensive philosophy is to give it to Yarbrough and hope he breaks it which is why we lose to team with above average defensive talent. Crosby’s TE Landen Hammer is 6’2” and about 210lbs with crazy ball skills, an absolute mismatch problem and got one target last night. Friendswood realized Crosby had some playmakers on the edges and lots of times gave the receivers a 10 yard cushion. The problem is that Willis doesn’t know that so not once did we just raise up, throw it out to the receiver and give them an opportunity to be an athlete and make a play. So now that we’ve averaged 8 completions per game through our first four contest because 50% of the time Willis chooses to swap out 50% of the offense we look like we “don’t have the receiving talent that we used to.” Yarbrough probably had close to 300 rushing yards last night but I wouldn’t be surprised if he had 35 carries. I like our backup RB but there are several kids who could help Crosby more at that position and Willis chooses not to play them there and feed Yarbrough to the point he couldn’t even finish the game last night. He continues to display an inability to efficiently use his personnel which is why we get blow out by any team with at least equal talent. Maybe something changes but Willis being 6-19 his last two and a half years on the sideline and his inability to shake the Cedar Park model don’t give much hope, which is unfortunate for the kids.
