You can post them here in the football forum. I understand that due to differing schemes a strict 11 on offense and 11 defense might not be feasible. However, I don't know that would account for 25 1st teamers. There needs to be a reasonable limit and while I don't know that I have the exact number. This seems to have exceeded it.

Thanks, James!

Well, the best way to lose a game a this point in the season is to underestimate your opponent. The Madisonville Mustangs are the real deal and have a coach in Rusty Nail who also knows how to win ballgames like this. WO-S will have to come out with their top game to advance. Do I think they will? Sure. But there are no turkeys left after Thanksgiving.

At the top of the forum

I do cringe when I see what seems to be a default 40 point win prediction every time the Mustangs take the field. Last year is last year and it seems like those that make those predictions are expecting Jack Dallas, KJ Miller, Mo Joseph, Jeremiah Shaw, T Brown and others from last year's team to pop out of the Mustang inflatable. They won't...they've graduated and are on to the next phase of their lives (which all of them seem to be doing real well in). Cornel Thompson realizes that, Eddie Dyer realizes that, Mike Pierce realizes that. It might be time for some of us to realize that. Last year's team and their accomplishments will go down in the annals of Texas High School Football History. It probably won't happen again in our lifetime, it might not happen ever again. So when I see Eddie criticized for not doing things on offense that the Mustangs did last year, I find that patently unfair to him. Jack Dallas and Chaka Watson are two different young men. There are parts of the offensive playbook that he opens up for Chaka to execute that he would have never dreamed of asking Jack to do. By the same token, there are parts of the play book that he would open up to Jack that he would never ask Chaka to do. Why? Not because one is any less of an quality quarterback than the other, but because they possess different skill sets which lend themselves to different parts of the Mustang playbook. Would I like to see some of the same things as last year? Of course. But the current personnel package needs to have plays called that fit in their skill sets, not the skill sets of Jack or KJ or Keion or Jeremiah. And last Friday painted the Mustang's offense further into a corner. I don't know of any team that would be able to lose the services of their starting quarterback and expect the offense to run smoothly. It doesn't happen in the NFL, it doesn't happen in the NCAA and no, it doesn't happen in West Orange, Texas. Tyrone Wilson will do great things when it is his turn, but to expect him to at this point to do the same things as Chaka is just as unfair as expecting Chaka to be a carbon copy of Jack. And to expect Eddie Dyer to call the same plays for those 3 different young men is the height of stupidity. The end result is that the Mustangs won, just as they have done for every week that they have played since the middle of 2015 for 37 straight games and 14 straight playoff games. Now that is not to say that I don't believe the 2017 Mustangs are a top notch ball team. They are on a path to play for a 3rd straight state championship. All I am saying is that there is no need to blow a gasket and demand wholesale changes in a great coaching staff because they aren't beating teams by 30-40 points!

3-0 works for me, too.

Okay, I think we've exhausted all of the sports that this topic had to offer.....not that ESPN, a supposed "sports" channel ever intended this as a sports story or ever really gave any sports out of this to offer. We'll move this and park it in the political section, where ESPN has made clear it wishes to hang out these days.
