Football Freak

Hey, I gotta give Crosby a little bit... They could have just fallen and stayed down, but they didn't. They continued to play hard and got better. When I saw Crosby play Dayton, I didn't think Crosby was any good at all, I just knew that Dayton was terrible. 
But they got better, and put together some wins. Congrats.

Bmt United was a big disappointment this year.

Yes, you are right... "The goal IS to win state". You should try to win every single game. But one of the most important parts of HS Athletics is to teach a few life lessons regarding honesty, character, hard work and integrity along the way. You should try to win every single time you play. You should try to do your best every time you play. You should work your a** off everyday to develop yourself into the best you can be ( that's Coaches/Players/Administrators/Program ). 
If you intentionally quit on a game to lose for a "better match up" that is absolute cowardice. So, you only wanna play if your think you can win. You only wanna play if you're matched evenly, you only wanna play if they have the same amount of players as you. Well I got news for you... That is NOT how life works. You can't always even the odds so you have a better chance of success. You can't just only "play" if you think you can win. 
I will say it again, and I'll be done with this... If you lose on purpose ( easier opponent, better match up, etc. ) you are a COWARD.

Any coach that loses on purpose, should never be allowed to coach again. I’d be more forgiving of a coach that “Woody Hayes'd” a kid than one that would lose on purpose. 

Man, why doesn't Burkeville stop these massacres? They should drop to 1A like High Island did several years back and at least give their kids a chance for success. I hate to see that they just get blasted every week. Especially when this once was a very good small Football school, now they just get hammered.

Man, I thought Dayton was gonna pull this one out tonight!!! Came right down towards the end.
YES, you are so right about them scoring points again. Imagine if we'd've been running the Spread all year instead of that horrific failure of the Option we were trying to run. 😣  I still get the Red A** over that.
I'm not saying that we'd be winning all these games, but at least our kids would have had more practice with the Offense, more time to improve their skills, more time to learn and understand their responsibilities. Glad to see they are at least in games now, not getting blasted.

I going w/ BH in this one for the District Championship!!!

The "good ole boy" system is back in Dayton. The wrong people ( people that don't care about Football being great every year ) are making decisions about the Football Program again in Dayton. I did a little research for everyone :
Nobody cares about Football, just put a team on the field and hope the players will play...
1991 : 2-8. Terrible
1992 : 0-10. Terrible
1993 : 1-9. Terrible
1994 : 4-6. Bad
1995 : 2-8. Terrible
Somebody comes in and finally gives a crap, and DEMANDS winning... 
1996 - 2010 ( Jerry Stewart Years - in full control of everything regarding athletics/football and won't let ANYONE interfere with winning ) Wins, Wins, Wins, and more Wins. State Championship Appearance, State Semi's, many Regional Championship Appearances, many District Championships, and 14 STRAIGHT years in the playoffs.
2011 : 9-4. ( Hancock Era - still running the program how Jerry did ). Very good, Still Winning
2012 : 9-4. Still Winning
2013 : 6-6. Average, but still in playoffs
2014 : 8-4. Still Winning
2015 : 7-4. Decent, but still in playoffs
We don't want the Coaches being that demanding on the kids, we want them to have fun, we just want greater program participation...
2016 : 4-6. Bad
2017 : 3-7. Terrible
2018 : 0-10. Terrible
2019 : 1-3...?
Anybody notice anything glaring about these statistics... Kinda like a pattern isn't it?

I remember the old days late 80's when HF was pretty dang good. I'm sure everyone remembers the Malveaux (sp?) kid that went to Michigan, but they had some real good players that came after him for awhile also. I like that HF is making a turn, to be competitive again.

Ok, I see what you're saying. It's just kinda unusual to see it expressed that way. Normally when talking about yardage in a game, people are thinking Offensively, but I see that wasn't what you meant.

I like the program development going on over there in Tarkington, I going w/ the Longhorns in this one.

If this new offense is supposed to work, they better start scoring some points. Dayton will never be successful again scoring 7-10 points / game. The only time in the past 20 years that Dayton has been successful is in the Spread. So if this Option Offense is what these coaches are booking on... they better start putting up some points and stop turning the ball over. I hope the Broncos can get it going. 

No dog in this fight... but I hope Lee pulls off this one. Would be nice to see them start moving back to relevance again. Man they used to be a force to be reckoned with and fun to watch.

Sounds like this was a really good game. I am glad to see Tarkington trying to build something over there. If they will invest money into the program and pay to get/keep quality coaches, could be interesting to see what they can build. Growth is gonna move that way, with the development of 99 Grand Parkway cutting between Dayton/Crosby and also between Dayton/Huffman.
The new HC seems to have the boys playing well right now, hopefully the Admin will do what's necessary to keep him around and build a program. 

Whatever Dayton is doing Offensively is disgusting!!! Looks like they are trying to run the Option, but Jeez this is terrible. I feel sorry for those kids man. They look confused and unsure of themselves. What is happening to the Broncos?
The only bright spot Offensively was at the very end of the game, they ran a little Spread stuff, and scored a TD. I miss Dayton Football.  😤

Some of you Dayton folks wanted Stewart out SOOOO bad... well, he's out and look where your program is at now. I hate to say it, but the Dayton Broncos are not any good right now.
From the outside looking in ( I have only seen 2/3 games this year ) and 5 games from the previous 2 years... this is what I see, just my opinion.
I think the program has gone soft. In the old days ( '95-'12 ) Dayton was a bunch of tough guys. The coaches coached tough, the kids played tough. There was no doubt that even when Dayton was outmatched athletically or by better teams, Dayton was always gonna battle your a** off. The Broncos were going fight to win all the way to the end. Well, that's gone now. It appears that there is a lot of "Oh well" attitude ( from everybody ). It doesn't look like the Broncos are very strong. The skill kids look very underdeveloped physically for Varsity FB players compared to some of the kids on opposing teams. The lineman kids look "thick" like they would be strong, but I just haven't seen the OL/DL kids "man-handling" anybody. From the stands, it looks like they get pushed around. Not that the players can hear it or anything, but dang the fans in the stands are so negative! At this last game, I was sitting near the 45 yard line about 6 rows up, and all I heard for 3 quarters were people b!TC#!ng and complaining. "Why are they running this play, why don't they call that play, these coaches suck, we can't tackle, the uniforms don't look good, why are we playing that defense, so and so ought to be playing this position, we suck - so they ought to at least put my son in"... seriously people, give it a rest. Everyone wants their team to win, but y'all are ruining the fun experience of the game. I know the team is not playing well now, but as a fan base... y'all are VERY negative. I'm just a guy that loves to watch football, but these are just my opinions of what I see happening over the last couple of years. Hopefully, the Broncos can turn it around and get back to the winning we like to see.

That is great news. I used to love watching Dayton play back in the 2000's. ( 2000 - 2010 ). Man they were exciting to watch, they played with a fire you don't see a lot in High School. I used to like to watch ole' Stewart tearing people up and the Coaches and kids were getting after it too.

ha ha haaaaa....!!!!! You hit the nail on the head Pig. It's funny to see all these "experts" arm chair QB'n everything. Most of them couldn't coach a pee wee team. Just because most of them are FB fans does NOT mean that they can coach their way out of a wet paper bag.
I like your suggestion though : go get a 4 year degree, get a job coaching high school FB, and unleash their knowledge on all opponents. ha ha.
