We were losing by 14, but Lamar scored the last TD when they could have just taken a knee.  Now the other 2 times we played Lamar, we split.  They won the first game at Delmar on a hook and ladder play, taking the lead with under a minute to play....(after we dominated the first 3 quarters and drove down to their 35 in under a minute with no time outs)  The second time we played in Brenham, and we won be 1.  (that time, the game was close the whole time) I'm sure we havnt forgot about them throwing into the end zone last year, instead of kneeling.  We'll be ready and this time and we'll be playing in Brenham, breaking in our new turf.   [/quote] you are asking to much for Lamar just to take a knee. They are always trying to run the score up on teams outside of HISD.. [/quote] Well i'm sure we got that message after last year and we'll even it up at 2-2 this year.  Prediction- Brenham 24 Lamar 21

[quote name="eagle65" post="815518" timestamp="1277954668"] dayton will be fine. they do tend to start slow but i think that is the plan in order to find what will work and who can play in game conditions.  only problem i see is the height of the qb, plenty of ability but must roll and not steadily drop back. [/quote] Rolling is not always a bad thing.  Our QB rolls out alot and he's been pretty successful at it.  It has actually made him a better scrambler, and he's alot more calm in pressure situations.  Seems like it's helped him in a way.  A few guys just throw better on the move.  (not alot, but some) After a while, he'll get use to it.

[quote name="panamamyers" post="815340" timestamp="1277867165"] Just because Lake Travis is a team full of white boys, don't mistake them for not having good athletes. They have a lot of guys that have been going on to play college ball. And, as I said, it is not completely about athletes. Dayton will be completely overmatched in an athletic sense, so if they win then I would be very impressed with the coaching that they are getting. I am already impressed with it, but I have never seen them as of yet been quite as overmatched physically as they will be in that game against Ike. Look, if Dayton beats them, them I will be pretty pessimistic about the chances of Lee being able to hang within 30 points of Dayton. I don't think Lee should be able to beat LT on paper. On paper LT probably has 30+ seniors while Lee has 11 on paper. [/quote] Of course LT has atheletes...  How else do you else do you explain back to back to back state championships.  If i'm  not mistaken, they did that with 3 different coaches too.

[quote name="Lightning/Eagle" post="815252" timestamp="1277838890"] Neither is my team but I saw a playoff game between Brenham and LaMarque around 2005. I believe both team scored twice in the last two minutes and Lamarque was close to scoring a third time as time expired. That game was played in Katy and was flat out fun to watch. [/quote] One of the most exciting games i've ever seen.  I'm just glad our defense held them off.

[quote name="the_dude_abides" post="815238" timestamp="1277835639"] I'm more interested in the angleton game. I want to see how disciplined dayton is against the run and an athletic qb early in the season.  If they can prevent the big plays that early in the year i think it would be a good sign. Did diggs commit to ut like his brother? [/quote] Yes he did commit to Texas......Key to slowing Diggs down is pressure, and just the right amount.  Not enough and he will have time to make the right decission, and if there's too much and you over commit he'll burn you on a draw play or a cutback.  Just make sure he's wraped up, no arm tackles.  You just can't let him get in the openfield.  He does that and Daytons in trouble.  Just play very desciplined football...  You won't stop him, but you can slow him down.  Very one deminsional, but very good at that one deminsion.  Passing, I think he was 0-4 with an interception.  (against us)

Seeing how September 17 is our off week I think i'll have to go check this Ike vs Dayton game out.  I was going to go to the WB vs Katy game, but with all the smack talk going on, this seems like the game I should be at.  Plus scouting Dayton is always handy.   ;)

I agree...  He does that more than most coaches, but he always seems to pick the right times, cuz I can't remember it not working.  I remember reading, that if we got that last first down against Aledo, where we needed two yards but only got one.  Their was still a 1:35 to play and we were down 7 at their 19 with all the momentum.  He told the chronicle, had we scored, we would have faked the extra point and gone for 2.  He's a pretty good coach though.  He'll admit it when his game plan isn't working and he won't hesitate to come up with something else.

Angletons speed is being compared to Daytons?  I don't think anybody can argue this, cuz Angleton fields pretty much a track team to where Dayton is just a fast football team.  Now, what did that get Angleton last year, when they had that stable of RB's plus what they have this year?  They exited the playoffs one round sooner than Dayton.  Dayton has some speed and excellent coaching, to where Angleton has super speed and a super star.  (Even though he plays QB, when he is a an elite CB, and it shows) Dayton has proved itself and it's coaching over  the years.  Has Angleton?  Angletons coaching cost them last year, and cost them big.  Blowing a 21 point halftime lead, by not changing there coverage up after their secondary was exposed as a weakness.  How you get burnt time and time again, and not change your defense our audible is beyond me.  Perhaps it's the same reason that Angleton had one of the best CB's in the state, but wouldn't use him at that position, even when there lead was slowly disappearing.  Speed makes a big difference, but it isn't everything...

[/quote] Very possible, but Dempsey takes more of a beating than anybody else and Donovan seems to have an extra gear that others don't seem to have, but will he still have it then.  Also like I was saying....it's hard to imagine they will have an easier path in Brazil.  Very good points though.  What will they do to fill the Howard and Demerit's spot?

[quote name="ECBucFan" post="814864" timestamp="1277665860"] I love your input, Brenham, but I have to disagree about the ages! 31 and 32 would be too old? I believe they will be at their athletic pinnacle, and have the experience and savvy of experienced WC veterans. They will lead a team with a near perfect combination of youth and experience. I fully believe the 2014 USMNT will have the best composition ever!      [/quote] I'm not saying they won't still have skill.  I just think this was their year to do something.... Easy path, and their leaders I think were at the ideal age.  JMO...  Well my second favorite team is out, but my favorite is still in.  Go Deutschland!

Dempsey is 27 and Donovan is 28.  Next world cup they will be past their prime.  The US squandered away their best oppertunity to make some noise in the world cup.

Kerrville Tivy.... QB/WR Johnny Manziel- Committed to Oregon.  Offers- Oregon, Stanford, Baylor, Iowa State, Colorado, Colorado State, Wyoming, TCU, SMU, Rice, Tulsa, and UT-San Antonio.

I just saw that the "world cup predictor" has England a 54.6% favorite over Germany.  Not sure how they figure that, but i'd say Germany should be about 60% favored.  After all, they are ranked 2 spots higher than England, won their group where England placed second, had a better goal differential and did all that without Klose for more than a game and a half.
