Who will the home-cooking refs favor in this game? smdh [Hidden Content]

After this week, it’s possible that 1 team will be virtually eliminated, and 3 more could be on life support with 3 losses. It will be a little easier to calculate scenarios next week. Someone will probably get into PO’s with a .500 record. I wish TL would update their page to show current contracts. It’s apparently way out of date because they still showed BISD schools, and you mentioned they haven’t had a contract in like 2 years.

I wanted to try and see some of GCM/RSS. But, I don’t see where it will be on anywhere. Big game as well.

There’s all kinds of scenarios with them still. I started looking at some of this today. Big game this week. Really, the PAM/BWB tilt is the least impactful game this week.

No dis on this rivalry, but the biggest game this week is GCM vs RSS. I forgot they played this week. Might have to split my viewing…

So, will this one be streamed by PAM? I’d love to see it. Especially since the Dawgs are off.

Sounds about right. You should only need 4 wins to guarantee a spot. 4 wins by two teams would knock out some of the possible tiebreakers. I think 5 wins by two teams would eliminate tiebreaks for them unless there was a head-to-head needed between those two teams for seeding position. I think PAM can get there first because y’all’s Bye is later. I’d have to sit down and look at who could beat whom, and what it would mean to be sure. Right now, with PAM following LP opponents except for Lufkin, some teams are picking up two losses back-to-back. It’s going to be hard to keep PAM & LP from making PO’s at this time. Both only need one more win to pretty much lock up a spot. The rest will be duking it out. BWB’s loss to GCM really hurt them.

Y’all are gonna eventually need a passing attack better than what you showed against GCM. LP was in position to make some picks. They just didn’t complete. I think y’all probably will from—again—what I saw against GCM. With it being a rivalry game, and BWB being a better team than their record may show, it should be a fun game. I’d give the Bruins a chance. A very slim one. But, still a chance. I don’t think PAM will be able to just cruise. All I know right now is that LP is still on track to win their 4th District Championship in a row as banged up as they are—including the last time they were in 9-5A in 2023. 😎

Looked like it to me as well. But, ruled no TD catch. It was a great catch to not get credited. He probably should have held onto the ball longer when he got up to prove the catch. I don’t know if the Dawgs got a TD on that drive or not. The fumbles recovered by LP were clear as day on the game film I saw today. But, you have to be able to fight through that stuff and not let calls beat you. They did. So, that was good to me. I think PAM should be able to run okay on BWB. Bruins had an extra week to prepare & study, LP is on an all BU OL with at least one starter out for the year—maybe two—and pretty banged up and they said Simon still had around 250 & 3 TDs all on his own.

Yep. Those were some of the calls/no calls mentioned on FB. Peyton Smith’s early one-handed TD catch with a Bruin all over him that was called no TD, and the 2 late fumbles that were called down. There was another one earlier as well. One Bruin threw an elbow and connected. No call. Stevie Wonder was the only ref they could find to work the game. He seems to always work LP games in the Golden Triangle area. Dawgs still found a way to win.

I wish I knew the system. I was even thinking there might be multiple ties at different levels. Have NO clue how that would work, Would you break the first tie first, then move to the next, or what? 🤣😂😕

That's waffling. 😁 Pick one.

Who would you put above them at 4? RSS struggled with Ball, and their QB1 played.

I'm so confused, I don't have a clue. 🤣 For a snapshot after this week, I'd lean towards: PAM BU LP BWB PAM D dominant. BU looked like they were on fire. Whether it was a one game thing, or more, I don't know. But, they looked darn good last night. LP just because they found a way to win a tough road game with an all BU OL against a good team with an extra week to prepare. BWB because they seem to be better than what I saw earlier in the season. But, all this might change next week. NC didn't play after their emotional win, have an extra week to prepare, and have been right there multiple times. I just don't know if they have some of the dynamic playmakers like the other 4 yet.
