My brother and I regularly make the trip to championship weekend, wherever it is played.  I have spent the whole extended weekend in Dallas three times, and was at NRG last year.  I can tell you straight up that there is no comparison.  The overall atmosphere at AT&T is much more electric.  Of course, the number one factor in this is that big screen, but there are may other factors that make it a great experience.  Music selection, and filming the fans during tv intermissions is very entertaining.   They do a great job up there.  NRG was not terrible, but they lack a lot in facility amenities AND effort.  None of my opinions are shaped by the Dallas Cowboys or Houston Texans.

LT vs Desoto fir best in State ....hmm right now give me LT ..

My brother and I had the pleasure of spending the day at AT&T with Bobby in 2013.  I know that his ties were with Dayton, but this guy loved the game no matter who was on the field.  RIP from your Brenham friends Lil Tex.  Prayers to his family.

Touchdowns are sexier than tackles my friend. 

Good luck Cubs. Much respect from Cougarland. 

That's the smell of money, lol....just go inside and light a sugar cookie candle

Same to you Cub, praying for a clean injury free game from both squads, and may the best team win
 
Go Cougars!

Go Cubs! Man I miss home sometimes. I joke all the time how the house I own in Brenham is one mile from Blue Bell and when I coached football at BCA I could walk outside and smell cookies from the Blue Bell factory. Now I live in Port Neches and I walk outside and smell the plants lol.

I hope that you are correct, Coog.  I think that we surprised a lot of people by taking out Georgetown(including myself).  I feel like Consol is probably a little more physical up front than Georgetown was.  We lost a lot of kids to graduation two years ago and we feel like we are getting back to a higher level than that debacle last year.  From the outside looking in it looks like CC is strong again.  Good luck to you guys against Marshall, and hope to see y'all next week.  

I believe Brenham comes in and pulls off the upset

I watched the game online on Saturday, and I gotta say that what I saw was a Crosby team that physically looked far superior to RP.  I also remember our game with y'all last year and we were completely outmanned, especially defensively.  I saw big offensive and defensive linemen, big athletic linebackers, and big tall imposing wideouts.  I think that Crosby had a huge talent edge, and enrollment numbers didn't really apply in this particular situation.  Yes, enrollment numbers play a part in a lot of instances, BUT I also know that there are a lot of big 5A and 6A schools that cannot hold a candle to a lot of programs with mid level enrollment figures.  It's VERY hard to be on top, and I'm gonna use a couple of Brenham teams as examples.  In 2009, we surprised everyone and made a run all the way to the championship game, and gave Aledo all they could handle.  That team was made up mainly of sophomores and juniors.  In 2010 we went into the season ranked #2, rolled through the regular season unscathed, and got beat by Kingwood Park, a game where we turned the ball over six times.  In 2011, we were loaded AGAIN, ranked #2 and got beat in the second round by Beaumont Ozen in a game that seemed like we were playing with lead feet.  Both of those teams were loaded with Division 1 talent.  I feel like complacency, lack of focus and arrogance played a huge part in those losses.  My point is that talent definitely plays a part in a programs success, but coaching, preparation and focus is what truly makes a difference.  I would be willing to bet that Crosby has been a victim of some of the distractions that I have just touched on.  Distractions to a teenager if not handled correctly are a dagger to the heart of the team concept.  I know for a fact that Crosby was loaded with talent on both sides of the ball.  They just got lost in themselves against a dangerous team at the wrong time of year.  Plain and simple...

From "Park Ranger 06," to "Safari Guide 06?" I gotta admit....that is funny. Good luck!

Hats off to the Cougars. They are a really good team with a lot of weapons. Every time we made a push, they answered, and that is a sign of a championship caliber team. They seem to have a really energetic fan base as well. I wish that we had a little bit more of that. Good luck the rest of the way. I can see the Coogs making it the Dallas.

With all due respect Brenham good game Crosby is just on a roll. QB and #5 for Brenham are the real deal. Safe trip home to all. Who knows maybe it's just our turn. CC TAZkEOVER!!!

^Classy post Periballo77. Brenham is the measuring stick for programs year after year. Brenham knocked out Crosby in 2008...some of us old timers remember the feeling.

Thoughts? Predictions?

Again -- 4 teams is a joke.  It's all about getting playoff money for the schools, nothing more.  I do,. though, understand that years ago 1 team was not enough.  But, they went over board.  If they want to make it mean something again, they will go to 2 teams.  But -- doing what's right is not the point here...

You see, Brenham and Dayton respect each other. We meet up before, during and after the games. I know guys that have dinner before and after. We have had some very memorable games over the last few years, and I would never post anything that was meant to offend anyone on the board. I never made a crack at Crosby until I was cracked on, and even then it was minimal. I'm hoping that both Brenham and Crosby do win this weekend. Rivalries are always good for the game of high school football. FRIENDLY rivalries. Not rivalries that people start making personal attacks on people AND their families. That's messed up. Let's keep it about the game on the field....about the kids. It's not about us on these forums trash talking each other, well knowing that the same kids that we are claiming to support are probably reading it. What kind of example are you setting for them. Again, good luck to all of your teams that are still playing. Go Big Green. Beat Elgin.

Better to have been to the big dance and lost, than to have never been there. Glad I was able to piss you off with a picture of a 150 pound running back. Good riddance.
