I read on a thread recently that since Grad is in heaven & AAW retired that previews were an unknown at the time being.  Someone willing & capable is gonna have to step up to the plate.

Exactly... Seeing @KF89 step up for baseball season makes me wish I had more time to do the same.

Maybe those of us who can, should attempt to do our own school.

I'll reach out to our new staff and put together a preview for my WOS Mustangs next week. It's worth a try.

With @BMTSoulja1 having an abundance of free time I volunteer him to take on this project, specifically the small school side since he is the Small School Guru of this site. 

 

I'm retired so I'm out of it. 😁

He’d make a great replacement.  Has knowledge of area traditions.  Probably knows a lot of Coaches.  Loves the game, and is completely unbiased.   Well…………maybe stretching that a bit, lol.  
😂😂😂🤣🤣👽🤣🤣😂😂😂

Cougar14.2 would be a great person to step up and do these previews. He has tons of FB knowledge and is passionate about analyzing teams. Or maybe split it up and let Cougar 14.2 do the large schools (4A, 5A. 6A) and let someone else (maybe RETIREDFAN1?) do the small ones (1A, 2A, 3A).    

@RETIREDFAN1  @Cougar14.2

Nederland has had 6-7 returning starters flat out quit or transfer to another school in the last two months, they are in trouble, makes you wonder what’s going on at the dog pound 🤔

Maybe they are finally realizing, oh, well, never mind!  But they have turf!  LOL!!

I would absolutely love to do something like that but my work performance struggles enough during football season. Writing previews would have me doing some much research that they wouldn't get much out of me in the Summer either. They pay me ok so I at least want to try to give the company something during the latter half of the year.

I think a lot of folk, including me who took the previews for granted thru the years are about to realize how much work these guys put in. Anyhow as far West Orange-Stark goes according to some dude honeydew melon or some such it's over, all the good coaches are gone and it doesn't look good. This new coach although he's not started yet must not be any good. I will have to use my natural football savvy to navigate thru this for now.

Looks good. I really liked the ones they had with the anchor and chain a few years back. I hope the stint of having no RBs ends this year, it's been a while since Vidor had some hard runners (since Leckelt , Humble , Maverick)

I wish they’d keep the gold anchor and chain on the helmets along with the side decals that they change on the side of the helmets periodically. I am with you, I really like the chain & anchor.

    • That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol. 
    • I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
