Although I generally don't root anyone outside of my coogs, I goota give it to fwood and dawson for representing 24-4a well. I'm telling you, fwood can surprise a lot of people. Txcane is right. Cole is not their only weapon and keying in on him will only free up people like #5 and #26 - it's been that way all year. I gotta give fwood some respect this time around, they're playing great ball right now. As for BC, you guys have nothing to be ashamed about. You guys are a SOLID ball club, despite what some fwood fans saying (and fyi, fwood fans are actually quite nice). BC will make the playoffs next year. I'm hearing a lot of good things about #12 on BC. Watch out.

haha, wow, things get pretty heated here quick. Listen, all I was pointing out is that there was a key offensive player who was missing during one of Fwood's losses (a fact) - I never once said that he was the REASON they lost. My post was more about how different Fwood and BC are right now compared to how they were early this season. That's all.

Yeah, I kinda have to agree with you. I'm not a fwood fan, but it's funny how quick we're able to place fwood in the "big and strong" category and BC in the "fast and athletic" category -- I'm guilty of the same thing.  I think both teams are athletic and fast in key positions. I just believe this is very equally matched game. It's gonna surprise a lot of people. Unless of course the fwood coach decides to throw on short and goal situations (he can be WAY too pass happy from what I've seen). BC will run away with it if the stangs don't bring their A game and aren't balanced on offense.

I'm sorry guys, I know this is a FW and BC thread, but I have to stick up for my cougars here. We've obviously seen better days, but I think all teams go through up and down periods. These past couple of years, it's just been lamarque's turn. Next year is our year to make a statement. Now, as for FW vs BC. I'm going to give BC all the props in the world because of how well they've played this year. No doubt they're a great team. However, you CANNOT judge friendswood by their record. I live in galveston county and I have seen several of their games this year. I can tell you that in those loses, they were without a couple of their main players, especially #11 (who, by the way, put up 140 yards and 2TDs on BC last year) - and a nice 60 yard run to boot - it's on youtube somewhere. Not saying #11 would have made a difference against angleton (would have helped), but definitely against santa fe. My point is this: don't rely too much on who FW and BC have played this season. By this point, both FW and BC are different teams - better in my opinion.

If you looked at the stats from last years game, Karam wasn't so much a factor as was geutreux and cole. I think this game will be a real close game, closer than people realize. I can easily see this being another 1 point game.

No doubt BMTsoulja, this is going to be a great. We should all be proud of the kids on both sides of the ball. I love BC's run game. Very well coached and very nice to watch in action.

The fumble controversy. I wondered about that too actually, because I thought BC had it. But I saw the video and the pictures from a sideline newspaper reporter, Karam's knee hit the ground before the ball was out - BARELY. I mean, you could see clearly his knee was down, but that ball came out right after. I wish I had the pictures, but sorry BC fans, it wasn't a fumble. Close, but not quite.

Hey guys, new poster here. I've come here a while and enjoyed reading the comments from passionate fans. Good stuff. I was at the Fwood vs BC game last year. Great game. BC was the real deal, and still is. Why is this game personal? I think BC stands a good chance to win, but I wouldn't take Fwood lightly. Yes, overall they're not "fast", but they're pretty fast at the skill positions. They have legitimate, quick offensive weapons - Cole, Metzold, and Johnson are the ones to look out for. Should be a close game. I can't wait to see it.
