[quote name="OctFeb" post="1419578" timestamp="1374068437"] We are 44 days away from the start of the Texas High School Football Season and today is.....     Yellow Pig Day You're probably wondering, "What the heck is Yellow Pig Day?" This unique celebration dates back to the 1960s when two math students at Princeton were given an assignment to analyze the properties of the number 17. Thinking about the number 17 for so long drove them a bit nuts, (as you can imagine), so they came up with the idea of a mythical yellow pig. The yellow pig had seventeen toes, seventeen teeth, seventeen eyelashes, etc. Today, mathematicians in colleges and universities all across the country celebrate Yellow Pig Day by eating Yellow Pig Cake and singing Yellow Pig Carols (seriously, we couldn't make this stuff up). And of course, the festivities always take place on the 17th day of July.  :o [/quote] I heard of other people talk about seeing colorful animals back in the 60s.  ;)

Geat story and impressive young man.  And kudos to the parents for supporting his decision.  It was probably the hardest thing he has done in his young life.

[quote name="PA4Life" post="1418693" timestamp="1373808810"] If you are a good coach, to become a great coach you are supposed to coach at the players ability.  As a coach you should know how to adjust your game plan to fit your players style.  In high school you can adjust your game plan because players change often.  But in college and pros, you recruit or draft players that fit your style of play. [/quote] If you have a good enough Communications Program then you don't ever have to change the way you coach.

I agree with an earlier post that this looks and sounds like a witch hunt.  It's not like Central or Ozen are blatantly breaking the spirit and intent of the rules like Yates does with it's basketball/communications program.  ;) These coaches, and especially the kids, don't deserve this kind of negative publicity.  Mr. Jordan's publication reminds me of a tabloid magazine found in the checkout line.  Kudos to these coaches for getting these boys to a workout to get better and not allowing them to get in trouble running the streets.  As a society, we are going to make it where everybody is afraid to help someone in fear of this kind of crap.

Kountze will make playoffs if they put Arnold at receiver and find someone who can throw it to him.  It's that simple.

I look at him as a Dat Ngyuen or a Bill Bates... those two names right there are the type of person MQ looks like on the field and is off the field... no drama just business... all 3 of them have that... "Oh yeah... well tighten up that chin strap ole boy because I'm fixing to ring your bell" attitude.. hahahah [/quote] Another player that comes to mind when watching MQ is Zach Thomas.  It will be interesting to see how big MQ can get in a college program.  He can flat out play football and coaches will figure out where to best use him.  Good luck.

[/quote] That Dayton D was really good in 07.  I remember telling someone in the stands against them that year that they were the best tackling team I had ever seen.  If they got a hand on you, you were on the ground.  How many games do you witness where there is not a single missed tackle?

Thanks, I will be there.  It should be a exciting game.  Any predictions?  Sounds like both teams are strong.

I like to see 'no calls' on layups where the player driving is obviously just trying to get to the free throw line.  But a 3 pt shot, Green's being blocked by Bosh last night, where there is plenty of body contact should not have been a 'no call', IMO.

Herefortheparty has been laying low.  The silence is almost eerie.  Like the quite before the storm. Congrats to Silsbee and WOS for making the top 25.  Both should be tough this year.

[/quote] Eventually we will be 5a (6a).  However that day is at least 2 to 3 alignments away.    Humble does not have the growth rate potential that SC does, the majority of our growth will come with a rezone.    Like i have said dozens of times, Summer Creek will be one of the largest if not the largest HS in Humble ISD in the future.  Humble will only  start to get close to reaching the 2600 capacity when SC gives back the HMS neighborhoods.  when they discussed this the past year, The district estimated that 125 kids would be effected at the freshman class move to HHS.  With the incoming freshman class(@HHS) estimated at around 425-445, it would take us roughly 5 years to get to a 2000+ enrollment on that alone.  Plus the slow growth of new neighborhoods (rustic Pines, Townsen Landing, Atascocita Heights, BlackStone Creek) about 3-4 years before we reach around 2200.      At that point we will be on the line (depending on how the 6a numbers are established.  Projections say enrollments as low as 2020+ will be 6a) Int he same time period, SC is expect to nearly double in size.  Just last week KB homes bought a tract of land they will put 2000 homes off West lake houston parkway.  SC will go on before we will return back to 5a.  We still have some growing to do....lol.  By the way, our enrollments WILL never be neck and neck unless they add additional class room space and redraw EVERY high school south of the rivers lines.    They could make 3 equally sized 5a schools...but they never will. [/quote] We'll see.  I gotta see how many from the middle school actually attend SC.  I believe there will be some going to Atascocita even though they're zoned form SC.  [b]Also, just not seeing where all the explosive growth will come from[/b] unless those new homes get filled up with near-high school aged kids.  Humble really isn't that big of an area ...and we have THREE high schools. Lets close down Humble HS ...send them to SC ...we'll own any district you put in. [/quote] The growth will come from everyone wanting to join the Greatest Show on Turf.  ;D  Yeah, have fun with that.

Who was it that said the West should not try to run on the East?  Give a lot of credit to the play caller for the West.  Some players that stood out were Montana Q, Koby Couron, Jakobi Jones, Glen Roberts, and a couple players who were not listed on the rosters but kept getting their names called.  Some big hits and a lot of good football being played.  Congratulations to the players on both teams.
