Have you ever watched The Ringling and Barnum and Bailey Circus and dribbled your dinner down the front of your finest shirt as your brain completely shuts down from the overload of inanity? That’s me right now, numbed by a season of football pain.

Technically, all is not yet lost. If my team wins by a handsome margin Friday night and the two teams above them lose, and Jupiter crashes into Uranus, and Hillary Clinton somehow becomes president after losing the election and four other teams forfeit due to playing ineligible players then maybe we could have a fighting chance of making the playoffs.

Won’t happen, but.

As surely as it’s bad grammar to put a conjunction at the end of a sentence, my team will play no part in the Texas High School Playoffs.

As surely as the Republican Party will contest the next presidential election, my team will contest a completely pointless match this weekend which is bound to end in ignominy.

It’s over. Kaput. Because of all this, I can’t really think of a reason to get out of bed anymore.

Oh, I’ll squeeze a week or two out of the blame game to keep me going. That game is reaching fever pitch at this very moment on many online forums, which is more than you can say for any game my football team played this year.

Blaming stuff is more fun than chasing seagulls. It’s the coach’s fault for being stale, the senior players’ fault for not setting the right example, the young players’ fault for not improving quickly enough, the club CEO’s fault for not commanding the respect of the boardroom, yada yada yada.

Personally, I blame the janitor. His skill set was a little dusty this year and he just didn’t get as many garbage disposals as usual.

I suppose I could look inwards for fulfillment. As an unhealthy middle-aged and increasingly flabby suburban father, what don’t I have to look forward to?

Seriously, there is much more of importance in my life than the performance of a team.

There’s… umm… well there’s… y’know… umm… umm… other sport!

Oh, who am I kidding? Life without my team in the football playoffs is a whirling maelstrom of despair, a predicament as bleak and meaningless as low budget Ben Affleck film.

Still, I suppose things could be worse. I could be a soccer fan…

who cares, HD will never be what they were in the 80's and 90's. Town is drying up. Go West Hardin

Hardin is going to have to win in other ways than Friday nights. The program is being rebuilt at the ground level so I would not expect much this season. Next year it either works out or Hardin's head coaching carousel will begin rolling again.

 

 

When does Babin come in and start offseason?

Great Hire!!! I hope they untie his hands and let him do his job

I would love to go watch this game. Channelview has not beaten North Shore in the last few decades

Go Hornets

If a player mentioned in this post received a concussion or was suspected of having a concussion will have to go through the return to play protocal per the new concussion laws. Rarely does an athlete return to play the very next Friday night. I have seen it happen but it is a lot of hoops to get down in one week

Baytown Lee 28- PNG 17. I heard this from a reliable fortune teller. 

Not sure on this one, PNG lost their stud receiver last night

That's Peyton Manning and Offense. I was really impressed with Lumberton. Good hard physical game

Come on Hardin, beat the lightning and New Waverly

Hemphill wins big

Hemphill will win this one. They are much improved.

"I know it's you Bobby"

Hardin has assembled the best team that they have had in years. I look for them to keep surprising people and battle for the fourth playoff spot

Congratulations Hornets
First time to start 2-0 in a few years.
Young men are giving a great effort. I am really enjoying the energy around Hardin. Plenty are coming out & supporting the kids, as well as the young ladies on the volleyball courts as well.
Looking forward to the rest of the season.
This week we travel to New Waverly. I am certain this will be a great test, as well.
Thanks,
HH

Hardin started off 2-0 last year beating the ever powerful Hull-Daisetta and Tarkington

Get ready to be impressed. Hardin will win this one. Guaranteed

This game won't even be close. Warren wins big

did they ever hire a coach?

in your fantasy world are their unicorns and magical rainbows?

You say he is leaving for personal reasons, I guess losing next year would be very personal to me as well. He is smart get out while your on top. I have seen the whats left of next years varsity and the sub par varisty level. This is not a negative post, just a honest outlook. Finney did do a great job. Best of luck.

Just because someone wants to be head coach bad doesn't mean they should be. From what people are saying about Deweyville next year it doesn't matter if they hire Jon Gruden or Bozo the Clown. Whomever it is who gets hired I hope he takes care of the kids and puts them in the best situation to win. 

I know.

Why is the list of Deweyville AD applicants always such a big secret??? Anyone know any names out there??
