Alabama signee....

Very nice opening drive. Aledo did not realize Crosby was that fast or that good.

Very excited for the kids and happy for Crosby. Good luck Coogs!!!

Good luck to James, I hope he does well. If he has a QB that can sling it and a few kids that can run quality routes and catch then they will score some points.

Well done, well done. I had heard it was the janitor, but.....

Don't be coy. You tell me yours and I will tell you mine.

It is a bit depressing to know before the season ever starts that you will never score more than 21 points, never see the ball in the air more than 3 times in a game and know beyond a shadow of a doubt your best athletes will never play on offense.

Sure, sounds like a start.

I really don't know. Was just thinking that would be a direction that Lumberton might go. Or, wasn't the head coach at Tarkington an offensive coach at PNG? He might be interested.

Yes Pho, it is obvious to most that your disdain for the slot-t is is palpable. Lumberton is not taking that step, they see themselves as a PNG type program, I think that will be the model they follow. Who is the Offensive Coordinator at PNG?

Anybody have a list of SETX players that signed today?

Is a hire imminent?

Hard pass

More interviews today?

Exactly, no such thing as a sure thing. Has to be the right fit.

Do tell And we need those in Lumberton to be on the lookout today? Who is wearing the Columbia blue and red tie at the gas station? Who is being escorted around campus?

The formula I am referring to has nothing to do with offensive scheme. It is the formula of putting his best athletes on offense. Vidor traditionally does not do this, unless it is a Montana Quirante, or other similar type player, who they play on both sides of the ball. But Vidor's defense is the priority, in PNG, offense is the priority.

Now does PNG need to play some of those "athletes" on both sides of the ball, probably. But, what Faircloth does is a lot closer to a successful formula than what Vidor does, IMO.

They can differ all they want to, compare Vidor's results and PNG's. PNG is in the playoffs every year, Vidor would kill to be a consistently ( playoffs 11 out of 12 years under Faircloth) successful program. PNG is averaging 8 wins a season over that 12 year period, that is with one 2-8 season included. How many times did Vidor beat PNG when they were in the same district?

So true, but to think you can put all your best football players on defense and think you are going to win is asinine. Yes, you have to get stops on defense to win, but you put great effort kids on defense, you put kids that are always going to be in the right spot, you put kids on defense that are always going to do what they are told and do it with intensity and aggressiveness. You put your best athletes on offense. Regardless of the scheme or system that you run.

Can't believe there are no rumors floating around about who is interviewing.

I guess those stats kind of debunk the idea that defense win's championships.

Day 1, P1 - Still have my original card....... The original HardLine was the best.

Definitely not the same without the HardLine........

Any news? Anybody seen a suit wearing unidentified individual walking the halls? And you are correct, it is a process, rarely do miracles happen in year one.
