KFDM COOP Posted July 10, 2010 Author Report Posted July 10, 2010 Great run LC-MLCM falls 46-45 to Lake Travis
WarHogz Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 Great job guys we're all proud of you now let's turn this success into a great season
AggiesAreWe Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 Wait a minute, I thought this was all a waste of time?Didn't the resident football guru call this just a glorified 2 below? Doesn't mean anything?Wow, talk about your about face. ::)
biaplayer Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 great job but doesnt mean doodly squat until it is 11-11 for 48 mins if you know what i mean, good confidence builder though, looking forward to the real thing come aug ;)
SFA85 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 I remember when the Mighty Celina Bobcats(or whatever their mascot is) beat the lowly Midland Lee Rebels in touch football......As I recall, Celina was 2A and Lee is 5A. It's just touch football. Of course, when most are in a Sissy Ball state of mind, this is seen as a great accomplishment......
orangecoog Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 We must not forget that LCM doesn't want to play WOS anymore. Mustangs rule!
82 5A State Champs Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 Let's not forget, the SLC team that LCM beat isn't the same SLC team from a few years ago. But, congrats nonetheless.
bellison1 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 It is amazing to read some of these post about 7 on 7. Every team in the state should participate in some type of 7 on 7 during the summer for numerous reasons. 1. Your kids are out there running around developing athletic skill.2. Having fun while conditioning.3. No matter what offense you run, eventually you will have to throw the football.4. and maybe the most important reason, your kids lean to compete.5. Kids you are counting on that have never played a varsity snap are out there getting used to the speed of the game.6. At some point in the season, you will play a spread team and now you have experience defending it.there are many more but these are the biggest. Chime in if you have others.As far as LC-M and their showing at state....what a way to go into the year now....lots of momentum...lose to LT by 1 in OT....beat SLC...are you kidding me...I have coached against SLC and I can assure you, there is not a team in that area that can play with them....even in their down years.....and yes, even though 7 on 7 doesn't translate directly to fall success, check out all the teams class A to 5A that play in the semis and I would bet 95% of them have 7 on 7 experiece....so give LC-M their due....and have a clue about football before you start making some of those statements....

Huh, I beg to differ, sir!

bellison1 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Posted July 13, 2010 I don't mind the differing opinion, each to their own....It is the "sissy ball" and "It does nothing" and "wait until we put n the pads" comments that are rediculous....you know that....If you have a differnce in opinion, fine....I was just showing reasons why 7 on 7 is important....And unless you have been on the field with the Dragon Nation, watch what you say.....when was the last time a team down there was a state champ....
BMTSoulja1 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Posted July 13, 2010 LIKE I SAID, I put no stock in 'Touch Football'. According to you, LC-M should be a state power since they have beaten SLC. They should win district and make a 4 round playoff run, whipping all the areateams like redheaded step children. In the fall, if this happens, then I will admit that you was right the whole time... 7 on 7 may be important to the kids that participate in it, but it have nothing to do with 11 on 11 with the pads on. Heck, me and a couple of my buddies can get out and play touch football...
mat Posted July 13, 2010 Report Posted July 13, 2010 At this time of the summer their passing game is prepared enough to compete with the passing games of some of the best teams in the state in touch football. They also have a load of experience and confidence going in to the season.By your logic Lake Travis winning state 7 on 7 means nothing even though they're ranked 1 in the state.No one predicted an LCM deep playoff run like you described it but don't belittle a great summer accomplishment that helps prepare their team for the upcoming season.
BMTSoulja1 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Posted July 13, 2010 Real great showing in Touch football for the Battlin' Bears. But remember, It's 7 on 7. Fall ball have 11 players... This includes O-Linemen who go to war in the trenches (where a game is won and lost at). I still say it have no bearing on how good a team will be in the fall... Lake Travis just so happen to have a great touch football team right along with their normally dominant fall team...
bellison1 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Posted July 13, 2010 good grief....nobody said it equates....I gave reasons why to participate....IT MAKES YOU BETTER....PERIOD....so what we need to do is just sit at home during the summer and show up in the fall and underachieve....BmtSolja...arent you an Ozen fan?
BMTSoulja1 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Posted July 13, 2010 Did you happen to look at this avatar next my member name?No need for the 'Charlie Brown' quotes. I just gave LC-M their props. They had a great showing. Touch football gets you better for the wars on Friday nights? Somewhat... Conditioning? A little. But that's just about it. Also, no one said anything about them just sitting at durring the summer.
AggiesAreWe Posted July 13, 2010 Report Posted July 13, 2010 My whole point of my posts on this subject was to combat the fact that "SOME" people are quick to down play 7 on 7 when their team is not successful or as successful as they wanted them to be but the minute they are successful in 7 on 7 they want to promote and acknowledge that success as an intergral part of their team's football program. ::)You are either for or against 7 on 7. You can't be both by basing it on how well or bad your team does in the 7 on 7. That's what "SOME" of you are doing. If they do well, you are all giddy about it. If they do bad, well we hear comments like "It's just touch football", "It doesn't mean anything", "It's just practice", and "It doesn't matter when the "real" football starts in the fall". Give me a break!! ::)Don't judge the game based on how your team does in the sport. ;)
mat Posted July 13, 2010 Report Posted July 13, 2010 Success in 7 on 7 translates to optimism for the fans and confidence for the players.Disappointing performance or no participation at all does not translate into a disappointing season.
