After a brief break for state testing, 22-4A storms back into action today as the West Orange-Stark Mustangs make the short trip down Hwy 105 to take on the Orangefield Bobcats. Tim Erickson's Bobcats, who are currently alone in 3rd place with a 4-2 district mark, dropped their last district game 9-8 to Little Cypress-Mauriceville. Meanwhile, Ryan Pickering's Mustangs, 1-5 in district play, look to rebound from a 6-0 district loss to Bridge City.

You may want to use a bit more discretion as to what topics and folks you make fun of. I know you feel that is your niche here, but it is wearing old fast and such comments in topics like this where coaches are getting together to discuss their responsibility to the young men of this area and your jokes about the body sizes of the coaches only accelerates that wear.

The Varsity part is kinda confusing. It is this? 8/31 - at Kirbyville 9/7 - Silsbee 9/14 - at WO-S 9/21 - OPEN 9/28 - Gilmer 10/5 - OPEN 10/12 - at Kountze* 10/19 - at Hemphill* 10/26 - New Waverly* 11/2 - at Corrigan-Camden* 11/9 - Anderson-Shiro* *District games Is Newton closing in on any game on either 9/21 or 10/5?

I think you forgot about Monica's blue dress.

LC-M/Silsbee has been moved up today.

All of the above teams have not played a game this week. They took Tuesday off for state testing (which I thought was required of all public schools).

I still don't buy that one venue is significantly better than the other. It is just given that as I see both as equal, and with the Houston Sports Authority demanding far more in outlay than AT&T, I can't blame the UIL for doing something that I would do myself.

While I agree that going back to the coaches choosing the site of the championship game would promote the most fairness, I have to acknowledge that the current setup is far too lucrative for the UIL to give up. Maintaining the single site model is the only way that the UIL will get a network such as Fox Sports Southwest to broadcast the games and pay what they do for the broadcasts and the affiliated shows. FSSW would not (and maybe could not) devote the resources necessary to carry the games from up to 12 different venues, which is what would be required should be UIL abandon the single site model. The result, I presume, would be whoever would broadcast the games would limit the broadcasts to the 6A champ games and, maybe, the 5A champ games. That would probably decrease greatly the revenue that the UIL would receive in broadcast rights. We all know that the UIL won't stand for that. Now then, do you rotate the venues? It seems fair and despite the pot shots taken at each stadium, both NRG and AT&T (and the Alamodome for that matter) are NFL quality stadiums which would be able to provide the pageantry that we appear to desire. It comes down again to finances. Let me ask you this...if you are scouting venues to put on an event and one venue quotes you a rental half the price of the other venue, which one would you choose....that is simply what the UIL has done. Much as I hate to admit, the UIL will remain in Arlington for the foreseeable future and they are being fiscally responsible in keeping it there.
