Panhandle farm boy myself. Dalhart, TX. Had to go where the jobs were.

You’ll have to excuse me. Sarcasm is a low form of wit. At 63, I don’t care if it’s low or not. I’m just am glad I still have some.

Sure they do. But, it needs a tiebreaker. Anybody know the rules?

Youth. I consider the BU game a fluke. Y’all made me lose my pick’em against GCM. I thought for sure Lufkin would win that game. But—like I’ve told others—Simon will get his. He got 340 & 4 TD’s against PAM. What you don’t want to see is Wells with 200 or more passing. He’s averaging over 170 ypg with a 64% comp. rate, 19 TD’s, and only 1 INT. If LP can pass whenever they want, it will be a problem. I know LP wants to win. My main concern is that no one gets hurt. I wouldn’t mind an RSS win on Thursday either. Nothing against BU. I just want GCM and Lufkin to make the PO’s. But, I don’t want LP to lose to make it happen. The LP seniors have been through a lot with no home games for 2 years, and have still been District Champs & PO bound for 4 consecutive years. Y’all are getting ready to experience a similar ‘no home’ period. But—at the end & new beginning—y’all will be really happy about it.

Couldn’t name every restaurant. But yep. The loaded spud is pretty good. Problem is, after I eat one, it’s lights out John Boy. No amount of coffee can resuscitate. 😆

In District 9-5AD1 play: La Porte - PPG 53, PAPG 24 Lufkin - PPG 25, PAPG 21

Coach Abseck and Coach Berneathy have met 3 times. In Berneathy's first year back at LP (2022), the Dawgs beat Barbers Hill 34-27 in district play. In Berneathy's second year at LP (2023), the Dawgs won at Barbers Hill on the Eagle's Homecoming 34-29 in district play. This was the first year LP played no home games as the new Bulldog was being built. LP actually played their home games at Eagle Stadium. LP was moved to 11-5AD1 in 2024, and the two met up in the Area round PO game which LP won 55-27. This will be the 4th meeting between these two staffs.

Hopefully, he's okay. I hate to see an injury of this magnitude at this time of the year, with so much at stake. He's pretty much BU's entire offense. I'd like RSS to win for selfish prediction reasons. But, I'd like for them to do it against a full strength BU, and really earn it.

They never were very smart. If they were, they would have picked a different place to live. They've been trying to ride our coat tails forever.

Restaurant recommendations if you stay Thursday night, or come down early. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] Next to San Jacinto Monument: [Hidden Content] Also, Kemah Boardwalk is about 10 minutes south on SH-146. [Hidden Content]

I lean towards RSS beating BU. That’s gonna be my pick anyway for pick’ems. I think their D is good enough to pressure BU’s passing game. But, they’re gonna have to play outta their minds.

I’ll just call this the ‘Double LP Game.’ Directions, parking, etc. for the stadium are in the link. For those making the trip, “Welcome! Have a safe trip, and enjoy the hospitality & festivities in the town where Texas won her independence.” Don’t miss the turn off into the stadium, or you could wind up in Galveston Bay in about 300 yards! 😂 [Hidden Content]

I’m going to create a game thread just to post info for y’all about the stadium, parking, etc.

3-way tie between Killeen, Shoemaker & Georgetown—assuming SM knocks off Glenn? I wonder how their tiebreaker works? These 9 team districts are heck for creating tiebreaker scenarios. 😆

True answer? Countries and governments.
