Sounds like OF had some early, and CS late. I heard some chatter earlier that concerned me that some were thinking this game was going to be a breeze. Very fortunate to win this one. Coldspring is definitely a team that could win out in this district if they clean up some mistakes.

Great article. Thanks for sharing bud.

I will take the Cats, 28-7. Defense has been really stingy and the offense gets better weekly, as you would hope and expect with a new coach, new offense, and young QB. All of the above appear to be getting not only better, but more confident each week. On a related note, over/under on the amount of times the opponent is called "Coldsprings" in F.L. McClain Stadium on Friday night?

Well I can relate and also take umbrage with those who continue to bash me and try to taint my legacy, even though it’s been years since I left this state. Signed, Mac Browne

I certainly wouldn’t wait until after Thanksgiving to give Elmo an extension. Gotta lock him down for the next 8-10 years right now.

I agree. I was trying to say they are doing the best to make sure they aren’t fourth 😉

Kirbyville is killing it in that race 😉

Well, not EVERYONE but clearly smarter than most.

Obviously BC is pretty good. Other than Manning breaking off a long run toward the end of the game, not many highlights. BC is bigger, stronger and faster than OF and has one of the best QBs in the area. That said, they also play in different classifications. And although I’m not the biggest transitive guy, OF boat racing Hardin 59-zip who then plays EC to 28-22 the following week makes me wonder why people were shocked by the score last night. You can never overlook the East Chambers Buccaneers and I’m sure the Bobcats won’t. Coldspring is another team to watch in that district.

And also not as athletic as Manning… (And I say that with zero idea if it’s actually true.)

Manning kid has an FBS offer with a school rumored to soon be Power 5. Forget Anahuac, he’s probably the most athletically talented kid in the district.

Absolutely. Still not used to you guys being in this district. Realignment is hell on us old guys!

Let’s not get it twisted. This district still runs through Orangefield. And they don’t even need Beaumont recruits to do it 🤷🏻‍♂️

cards gonna dog walk them too

Me too. I think both of those teams are better than a lot of us thought, which is nice to see (rooting for both).

After Hardin played EC close last night after absolutely getting Molly-wopped last week by the Bobcats, this shouldn’t be a compete shocker. Orangefield is pretty dang good and are far from alone in getting handled by BC.

They all lie more than they tell the truth. Sad but true. Hope that helps.

Except the universities can’t and won’t put this stuff in writing. The tendency is to think of the schools as virtuous and the players as greedy. But I can say with 100 percent certainty that the kids are being promised things right and left by coaches (often times the assistants to shield the HC) that they have no intention of fulfilling. Once kids wise up and start recording these conversations, those who don’t know how this stuff truly works will be enlightened. And I say this if as someone with sons both playing and coaching D1 (and to be clear, neither has been a culprit or a victim in this, just know plenty who have).

Just got steamrolled. I looked at their schedule half expecting them to have played Fred Home School children 4 times like a certain former basketball coach there but that wasn’t the case.

He’s not expected to play today. That’s the wise move.

Ewers is apparently getting better daily. I know Sark probably wants him to get some game reps before OU but not at the risk if reinjuring. Honestly with the bye week next week, he would have to be 100 percent to play him tomorrow imo.

This week may be the worst conference opponent we’ve gotten in years. I wouldn’t play Quinn unless he is completely healthy (and only to shake off any rust) because the next week is also a bye. Mississippi State may be the worst Power 5 team. But after this week, we don’t get another cupcake until Thanksgiving.

Crazy thing is in every game this year, the score was actually closer than the game. I think by the end of the game, they were letting one of those guys who wrangle Bevo play QB.
