Disney should probably just move him to Hulu.

Better, unless the President came on…on all 3 channels. Invariably, he would interrupt Miss Kitty, Marshall Dillon, and Festus after we waited all week for the episode.

If PN-G doesn't have a letdown, I don't see this one as anywhere close. Indians with relative ease. I really don't see anyone challenging PN-G in district this year. Maybe Dayton. But, Huntsville is a big disappointment, and Montgomery was shredded by Kingwood Park. I just don't see a challenge coming.

Yeah. Sounds kind of fishy. They'd be sticking the knife in their own back since they pay millions for the rights, then the affiliates pay them. College football is a much bigger draw than Kimmel. The major over-the-air networks are basically empty shell corporations without their affiliates. Advertisers aren't going to pay enough for Disney/ABC to even compete to purchase sports programming without the affiliates. They'd lose a much larger audience if they moved everything strictly to ESPN. Many aren't going to pay. Especially nowadays. Advertisers wouldn't be happy about that move either. I think if Disney/ABC want to play chicken with their affiliates, Nexstar and Sinclair may have the upper hand.

I think they needed the rest and regroup time. Retool/rethink a few things for the 'real season.' It was a very solid predistrict against 3 quality teams. I think it really helps when they schedule challenging opponents. Friendswood looks a lot better than last year, and they always play LP tight. This game will be a tough matchup.

I agree all the way around. Although, Ruffin--as fantastic as he is paired with Simon--is also a really major cog in the D. I worry if he's used too much on O, the D suffers from the plays he needs to rest. Tough balancing act. But, I think that can be managed by the staff pretty well. It also gives playing time/experience to his B/U at the LB position. The QB situation, I've said since prior to the season, Wells brings the dynamic to the O that Saenz doesn't. But, Saenz has led this team through the whole building process, and played to his capabilities at the QB spot. I just think it's time to ride with the QB that can take the team to the next step. There's got to be a place Saenz can contribute. If he was a capable punter, it would be nice to have a QB punting. Teams would never be sure if a fake was coming, and it could be a great weapon. I have no idea how his receiving skills are. But, having him line up for possible double passes would be an awesome play to have in the playbook as well. Barnes and Sandolph graciously made way for Simon last year, knowing it would cut into their carries. They did it for the team. I think Saenz is the same type player, and the team has the same mentality. It never hurts to have two capable QB's in case of injury.

I’d say, unless some changes were made during the bye week, this is very optimistic. In fact, unless some changes were made during the bye week, LP has a very real chance of looking at 3rd seed at best.

Just wait until FOX & Murdoch own part of TikTok. Some will absolutely lose their minds. First Twitter, then TikTok? 🤣

Speaking of Olbermann... [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]

Been saying that all year so far. Hopefully, they got some work in on the bye week. I don’t remember when I’ve seen an LP D look this bad. Would also make the QB switch. It’s time.

Blessings are where we look for them. I definitely understand the challenges. I also understand the simple joys. I’ve always thought that things don’t happen TO us. They happen FOR us. You sound like a good man. A blessing indeed.

He’s definitely special. That’s why I said there’s no comparison between him and the Klein Oak RB. Simon’s on another level. LP turning more to the passing game—and y’all’s solid D—is what held him to ONLY 146 & 2 TD’s.

I'll pass. Although, I never watched anyway. But, I sure wouldn't give him the satisfaction now. I can read about it Wednesday without propping up his ratings.

So, let's start shooting up tv stations now...unreal. [Hidden Content]

Bold! Any thoughts on QB starter?

True. Still, if he were to be cancelled, I’d prefer it be the old-fashioned way. Can the show because it stinks. Although, I do very much like the idea of local affiliates taking over the power of choice in programming.

A lot of people will tune in just to see what he has to say about this episode.

First District game for both squads. Friendswood comes in at 2-1 and averaging almost 37 ppg while only giving up 16 ppg. After losing their first game against Fort Bend Marshall, they've reeled off two very impressive wins over Willowridge and Galveston Ball. Friendswood is ranked #9 in GHA by Vype. La Porte also comes in at 2-1 after a tough loss to an excellent PN-G squad at home for their first loss at Bulldog. La Porte is averaging 30 ppg while giving up 31 ppg. The Bulldogs are ranked #4 in GHA by Vype. Both teams are expected to compete for a PO spot out of 11-5A D1, and this game could have seeding implications right out of the gate. Friendswood always plays LP tough. This game should be no different. Who do you have taking this matchup?

This was posted on Smoaky an hour before it was posted here. Didn’t have any bites over there. Must have thought there would be better luck over here. Some of y’all obliged.

The truth of the matter is, most people only want free speech when it agrees with their own thoughts and ideas.
