Cougtalk

My final thoughts. 
Now we are used to this by now but we got Vidors best shot they weren't sloppy that system is gonna cause a bad play now and then because it's got so many moving parts. They ran probably 2-3 tricks/niche plays. Stuff like Monster formations and pitch back reverses, onside kicks, weird punts, etc. We took everything Vidor had to throw at us and i really feel we won the game when we killed that reverse late in the fourth granted Vidor had a couple more opportunities but that moment changed the narrative, Crosby got the ball back ran some time and reset the defense. 
The Williams TD, had a kid show me the film it's a good block on the outside, it's actually two really good blocks one of our linemen gets an amazing cut block and the other engages a player and as he get knocked over pushes him down. It was a beautiful textbook block. (that's the same one everyone was hooting and hollering about.) The refs made a very good call because I'll admit in the moment i wasn't sure if it was a hold or not but the ref was standing right there saw a good block and called it as such. 
I think this Vidor team is better than the one that beat Crosby in 11?, they had more weapons and the system looked a bit more refined. Now thats no consolation because it's now basketball season but that team was tough as nails. I cannot count how many times i saw a visor player get absolutely leveled and then dust themselves off stand up and get ready for the next play. Incredible amount of toughness from that side. 
Personal fouls. Crosby has had problems with these I think we had 2? this game and they were plays that kids were over reacting to. I think teams know Crosby is prone to these penalties and tries to bait them. Vidor also had multiple personal fouls, one was for a late hit one was for tripping a player after they scored (saw the film it was VERY intentional.)  
I also saw film were on long runs Vidor players would run next to a Cougar and the fall over like they'd been hit trying to draw penalties. I think the refs saw that as well and players lost credibility with the refs. I'm sure this was coached behavior because kids wouldn't think to do this if not coached. 
So lets not throw rocks in Glass houses shall we?
So Vidor did everything they could within the rules to win, but sometimes thats not enough and there is no shame in that. Hope everyone over in Vidor has a great weekend and whoever they root for outside of the Vidor Football team does well this year. 
I think the Cougars played a really Solid first half on offense and a really solid second half on defense now we need both sides to do that for both halves. 
Now You'll find me on the Crosby v. FB Marshall page. 

Never been to the Butch so i cannot remark on the amenities but I think it might have an issue that many Stadiums that house different teams have which is that no one owns that stadium. For instance it's an odd quirky experience to go to PNG, it's not to Go to Stallworth, Stallworth's a decent stadium but theres no hometown feel to it. 
Texan Drive somehow gives you that feeling even though it's shared but they work hard to do it they'll strip ever mention of the other school, they have flags that go all the way down the drive, They have an in your face view your extremely close to the action, etc. 
That being said those are extras if you don't have all the amenities then your stadium isn't as good, period. Butch is the best stadium in 22-5a given those amenities but Texan Drive might give you a run for your money because it has all those and still keeps a hometown feel. 

I'm saying unless he's going to run around in circles as they move him he won't be on him all game.

Great game by both teams ! Congrats Crosby - Crosby played  tough and smart Netherly was the difference in the game quality athlete for sure. Vidor's QB was a beast also ! ( got me a couple of red cow bells )

We aren't very disciplined but neither is Vidor so I mean it is what it is. 

Vidor talking about class now that's priceless go have a nice evening. Have funk basketball season. 

4th and 3 after a butt load of penalties on Crosby and an offside on Vidor. 43 yard TD run Mannie.

Cool Story happy to play the Villains in your made for TV special. 

Manvel is the best team in the State and we put more points on them than any other team this year. We lost to Porter and didn't have Mannie or Craig. Also Manvel has 9 D1 players on their roster we are not comparable to Manvel. 
For Instance we beat BH without Craig and with Mannie leaving in the 2nd quarter. 
We have had Craig 2 Games this season but he is back from Injury hopefully. 
Porter we didn't have either Craig nor Mannie and that game we lost in OT, we got our butts kicked. 
 

yea but if i named all 4 receivers then I'm just showing an embarrassment of riches.

Meh I think that's poor analysis from both. 
1) it's not about having speed it's about how you use it. 
2) I feel PAM was over confident Vidor got a big lead and PAM didn't have enough time to come back. (Got out coached.) 
3) the bad analysis from others is that this game will be about speed. It won't be I think the cougar defense is the lynchpin of this team. If the Cougars can control the line of scrimmage like they have this will be a W. 

Congrats to our cochamps from New Caney good luck in the playoffs.

Crosby has made no decision on where we will play. Just a fact at this point. 
We obviously wouldn't want Thursday night in Beaumont. I feel it's Vidor trying to effect how well we travel and that's sad that they don't want a packed house. 
Unfortunate they would try to deprive fathers and uncles and brothers from getting to watch their kids play. (Crosby has a lot of 12-16 hour guys that set up their schedule to go to Friday games.) much like PA peeps.

Well I think Manvel did. but other than that... 

4 straight <3

For the cougs that didn't make it. Every time the 1st team offense got the ball they scored. 
The second team failed to score at half time (ran out of time.) 
so the first turnover on downs by the Cougars was at 5:25 in the third.
The next time we would lose the ball was when we punted at 7:55 in fourth. 
Interesting this bit. The cougs scored 9 offensive touchdowns which is kinda rare in games this high scoring most the time a return or pic 6 is involved. Caney Creek is bad but the Cougars came out with a killer instinct tonight. 

As i see it...
Porter, Crosby, Barbers Hill, New Caney, Splendora, Dayton, Humble seem to be in a deadlock. 
 
NC/Crosby/Porter/BH seems to be the favorites for the 4 spots but Dayton, Humble and Splendora cannot be counted out. Porter could have had an aberration versus Crosby but the trucked KWP this week. 
Honestly I'm not even saying my cougars will win district hell i could see us finishing 3rd if we don't take care of New Caney, and Dayton will always play us tough. Porter will be 6a in the next realignment, New Caney might also be. This is a good district this year.
