  1. This day in age there's really no excuse. I started working with our kicker this year, and he learned how to kick off of tiktok and was all-district last year. with a few tweaks this year he's borderline D-1. He's naturally talented, and natural talent helps a lot, but there's a soccer player at every school in Texas who could be at least decent with about two weeks work.
  2. I think under regular circumstances this is reasonable, but the wind is going to be a factor. I think this game stays a little more competitive than this. But I hope it doesn't.
  3. they won't. but some of them may decide not to vote at all. And for centrists who vote either way, it's not an easy choice. both are bad candidates. there's no reason a race should be this close in Texas.
  4. doesn't take much when Texas republicans went with the less electable candidate because Trump told them too.
  5. Kinda disagree. It's not him that looks stupid now that it's been proven that the republicans were spreading lies. He set a trap for them and they walked right into it.
  6. Our run game has been fine up until we played WOS, but I do get your point. Against Stafford, for instance, who Silsbee and HF played in back-to-back weeks, Silsbee rushed for 296 yds on 50 carries. HF the week before rushed for 269 yds on 38 carries. Against Vidor Silsbee ran twice as many times as HF, but Silsbee averaged 6.4 yds per carry while HF averaged 6.5 yds per carry. While Silsbee may run better than HF, I don't think they run much better as you claim, they just run much more. On the year Silsbee has averaged 6.4 yds per carry, and HF 5.9, and that was after a mediocre night of running against WOS, and against a tougher schedule overall. I will say yall are without a doubt a better power running team.

  8. Was supposed to go to UIL, but have to go to some soccer games saturday afternoon.
  9. Silsbee has improved throughout the year, and common opponents are a fool's game, but based on what HF and Silsbee have done against common opponents, and based on what I saw the 2nd half from WOS last Friday, I think the stangs win this one by more than people think. Once they started switching coverages and bringing the heat our QB was seeing ghosts. With Silsbee's QB being a pocket passer, I have a feeling he's gonna be under pressure all night.
  10. with the wind we're supposed to get on Friday I'd say he has a shot from 60, but the coaches won't let him try it. maybe if it's at the end of the half or something.
  11. He’s been a lot of fun to work with. Very coachable. He’s added 15 yds to his kickoffs and 7-8 yds to his FG range in just 8 weeks.
  12. Congrats to the Stangs. Great COACHING adjustments at the half by Coach H, and some bad breaks for the horns, but WOS earned that win. We had chances to put our foot on their throats but couldn’t get it done. Once they got momentum we just couldn’t slow it. No excuses, we wore down and got outplayed in the second half. I sure hope we get a second shot at them, though.
  13. take off nearly a foot, a bill, and change ripped to rippled and you can probably figure out who I am on the sideline
  14. whatever you say. I mean, it's pretty ridiculous of me to think that Cleveland might be able to find 35 okay athletes out of a population of 70,000 people to improve their football team ever so slightly.
  15. I agree with both of your statements. That said, the population is anywhere from 40K-100K, depending on the source. It's been open over 15 years. Without a doubt for the first several years nearly all of the high school aged males living there were not born in the US and did not grow up playing football. But 15 years later, even if the population there is largely transitory, it would take only a miniscule percentage of the high school aged kids there to have grown up playing football to improve Cleveland from the worst team in the state to just a bad football team. If we took an average of 70,000 for the population, 1/10 of 1% of that population would have to be high school aged males with experience/interest in football to provide Cleveland high school with 70 players. Even if i'm overestimating by double, 35 decent athletes with an interest in football would make quite a difference for a program like cleveland.
  16. One of the reasons they're so profitable is that there aren't many guys who can outplay me, so it doesn't seem advantageous to invite you. But I can give you a call the next time we're looking for players.
  17. I do that with all of my poker games. I've supplemented my income really nicely the last 4 or 5 years playing in small home games, and not overextending myself and risking more than I'm comfortable risking.
  18. why not?
  19. not sure. if you're there before 6:15 shoot me a message on here and if I have time I'll find you and introduce myself in person. Not sure what we'll be doing before then, but I may have a minute.
  20. It's been 15-16 years since Colony Ridge opened. I would imagine they're getting to the point where some of the high school aged kids living in Colony Ridge actually grew up here and were exposed to football coming up.
  21. I can't wish you luck, but here's hoping for a clean, competitive, and injury-free game from both sides!
  22. Your running back is excellent. Our run defense has been excellent this season. the first team D has given up 1 rushing touchdown all season, and has allowed less than 100 yds a game. the last 3 weeks we've allowed less than 50 yds a game after a key linebacker came back. it's going to be a fun matchup to watch.
