Coach Dale, your Hogs did their job; block down and kick ass!

Coach Dale, your Hogs did their job; block down and kick ass!

I had stopped drinking; I am thinking of starting back.

I am not going to write a book; just getting over the illness from eating so much crow. This game is really a playoff game, and again excellence will payoff. Look for Logan Born, Tia Pham, and Landon Corbitt to be standouts in this game. These guys will do what they are asked to do with no excuses. I saw you during the team perfect play segment, finishing thirty yards down the field and running the ball with authority.
Homework Assignment for Foster: Read the book "Shut Up and Listen by Tilman Fertitta by Friday night.(There is an audio version) Step up and be a leader
Anahuac by 1, in a street fight. 

Ray Charles can read the fact that I have talked about most of the football team by name and position in 3 different languages. Have patience; I will get to him if I have not already. You need to stop being such a small person and grow up. Sometimes, we are so busy patting ourselves on the back we don't give others a chance. Some of the best fathers, mother, neighbors, in world are the worst coaches.
I talk about the older kids because they have been with the program long enough to have done more positive than negative, more good than bad, been more dependable than disappointing. Remember, there is only a few vertebrae between a pat on the back and a kick in the butt; both have value.
For athletes to get better, they need to be coached according to the plan that the coach has prepared with him in mind. At the end of 4 years you will be proud of what he has become. Let the coaches coach him and you support the plan. That is how it has always worked best. If I have an investment in a kid, I will brag on his ass when I get ready. So, please don't bother me when I brag on Rick Davis.
Friday night will be a night to remember, y EC lo va a pagar.

We can win if nobody else believes it. We can never succeed if we don't believe in ourselves. We can, will, and we must win. We will not wait to live our dream. Championship is happening now. Why not us? Why not Friday night? No if we can, no I hope or maybe; owe have made up our minds to become champions. We have a great plan. In October we went into the butt kicking business; and business was good. In November we close the deal. Coach Neece's plan is working.

Anahuac wins this on 38 - 21.
Anahuac keys to victory;
1.  Anahuac has the best football player in Southeast Texas as their field general and defensive leader.
2. Anahuac is running the ball with more authority. They lost their power back to injury; now Neece has transformed the "Pony Express" into the "Wild Bunch". Let me explain, they have 4 backs that get better every week. I call them the "Wild Bunch" because you never know how they will lineup (so many different personnel groups). No matter who gets the football, you will see moves you have never seen.
3. The defense will Run! Hit! SCOOP! and SCORE! from all angles. Don't be surprised if a cheerleader knocks the hell out of someone, scoops the ball up and runs for a touchdown.
4. We must make the outstanding freshman QB play like a freshman. He will have to endure tremendous punishment for 4 quarters, every possession, and every play. One thousand and one, one thousand and two, one thous "Crash"!!!. Did someone get the license number of that truck?
5. We must have outstanding team pursuit on defense. Don't wait for someone else to make a play.
6. Don't miss your treatment this week. If you take care of your body, it will take care of you on Friday.
7. Special teams must be SPECIAL!
The last time Anahuac made this trip to EC everyone viewed the Panthers as the underdog. Many sit on the EC side instead of the visitors side, hoping to get one of the t-shirts being thrown in the stands. After Deon Mayes finished rushing for over 300 yards the traitors tried to give the shirts back. I am told that half of the coaching staff had to undergo counseling because of nightmares; #22 running the stretch play right at them and they could not stop it.
Don't underestimate this "PANTHER ATTACK" scheduled for Friday night.

At this time of year coaches are getting a pat on the back, or a kick in the butt and there is plenty of each to go around. We are at midseason, and you are putting your signature on your work every Friday night. Your work is right there on the field for the world to see.
Let's take a look. Is your team walking on and off the field? Did the ball carrier have to break 6 tackles to score? Can the head cheerleader tackle better than your safety? Are you afraid to run pursuit drills because half the defense will not pursue more than 5 strides? Are the backs running like they are in a beauty contest; more concerned about being seen than punishing the tackler? Are receivers running free through the secondary? You know the answer and you can fix it. 
There is only a few vertebrae between a pat on the back and a kick in the butt. Both are necessary and useful.
Coaches and players have backs, butts, and vertebrae.

Have the fans in Anahuac committed to supporting their kids? Do they fill the stands on Friday nigjts when they travel? Do they fill that beautiful home stadium? Do they even join the booster club? The answer is NO! NO! NO! and NO! 
This is the finest group of young people that have ever played football, been cheerleaders, played in the band, played volleyball, managers, filmed, trainers, mascots, dancers, worked concession stands, sold programs, ect. They deserve our support. The crowds that come to support our kids are terrible.
Do you love your kids? Love is an action word; can we see a little action. Friday night is a good opportunity to evangelize. Most of the churches in Anahuac could use a revival. What is your excuse? This Friday night their is a football game; show what kind of family member, neighbor, church member, you are. Now, that you have been given a special invitation; I look to see your face in the place. Our youth need you!!!!!!!!

Ever night EC is going to see the same kind of effort. This is a very balanced district with outstanding coaching staffs; stay on your "A GAME".

Bobcats, the Bucs think they are coming to a football game. Ambush them with a street fight. You don't hear people talking about how tough they are. The arrogance on the part of Bucs has earned them a butt whipping, and you are the one to give it to them. Don't make excuses, make plays. You are the host; serve them the most brutal ass whipping of the season; and they will get the same treatment from their next opponents. You will then be the favorite to win the district. If you follow the plan, EC will start pumping up basketballs on the way home. It is simple; no one catches a pass without a fight, no one cross a goal line without a fight, no one tackles your ball carriers witout a fight. EC is coming to your HOUSE; what are you going to do?  Whip their butts with extreme attitude. Go Bobcats!!!

Orangefield has a chance to beat EC; the key is turning the game into a street fight. EC is playing at Orangefield, defend your your home turf. The opportunity to win is too big and the return is even greater. When they come into your stadium with all that flash and glitter; knock them on their butts; when they get up, put them on their butts again. You are playing at home; play the most physical game you have ever played. Tackle harder, block harder, and run harder than you have ever played. If you do this, and each of the next opponents follow suit; you know what the results will be. It is time to earn some respect from EC. They don't respect you, the district, or the rest of Southeast Texas. You never here people talk about how tough they are. This is your chance; hit them in the mouth! That is how you handle a bully. If they are handled this way every week the results will be enormous. The rest of the district is not EC fans; we are fanatical about Souteast Texas football. Stepup and hit the bully in the mouth. Orangefield this is your chance, EC is expecting a football game where they put on the mgreatest show on turf. When the ball is kicked, let the street fight last for four quarters. Let's shake this thing up.

I am due to win powerball; and all you other winners congratulations. I am going to stay with Panthers. I just broke down more film and; Buna can not handle the linebackers from Anahuac ( Snap, Crackle, and Pop). They are ready to ruin this party. They will fly to the damn football from all directions destroying everything in their path. Buna, cancel "HOMECOMING", put all the women and children to bed, stay inside, lock the doors and windows, cover your ass. No, evaluate!!! Damn it, you invited us to Homecoming; ready or not, here we come!

He is not the whole teamHere
He is not the whole team; but don't go to sleep on him and the young players who have grown up a little over the last three weeks. The Panthers were not expected to do much; they have evolved in the most dangerous team in the district. Every week there is a new contributor. The coaches are doing a good job of putting players in a position to be successful. The next month will be exciting.

No. In the first week in October, you are positioned to kick-butt or get your butt kicked. All have had the same amount of time to prepare; if you and yours spent your time feeling sorry about things you can't control, bend over and get what is coming to you. Some have focused on getting better and building a team with what they can do with their talent. If you don't like what you have built, do better next time. If you can't get excited about you kids, you should be ashamed.
P.S. If you invite us to your "HOMECOMING" we are coming to kick your BUTT.

How much eligibility does Ford have?

I don't know about best play caller; I do know he is among the best program builders. Don't look for him to install a bunch of plays to call on game night. He will take the time and care to build an offense. After the open week........

Not an upset; this game was much closer than the score. If you were there, you know what I am talking about. This young team will be dangerous after the open week. By then, the full offense will be in. Young players will be contributing toward wins, instead of standing on the sideline. All of this will help them to deal with sudden change. (Special formations and personnel group are coming.) Don't sleep on these guys; they are changing the culture.
