Cougar14.2

You have 15 points and have 27, your're luck we got that holding call. That's the only thing making a game right now. Y'all can't throw the ball, you're not going to complete passes so you can't count a half-missed catch. I know y'all will keep playing hard though. I just think we're about to get 40 and that offense won't get you there against this defensive unit.

They need every stolen possession they can get. We also called a timeout before we received a punt but Vidor was the last team to come into the field signaling they were about to run a fake punt. Every coaching decision counts in the playoffs, we'll gladly keep taking it at the 40 though, potential TD if they kick it deep.

Let's go Crosby. I think we make two defensive stops the second half we get a W.

Read the post, had about a 40 yard dime from Netherly to Wiley called back on a hold. Punted on 4 and 20 probably. We don't even have to use Williams.

There's no drop off when the backup QB comes in. Netherly is playing QB but committed to LSU at receiver, the backup QB might commit to LSU to play QB. Jaiden Howard, check his recruiting profile. Kid carved up BH after Netherly got hurt.

Code Red doing what we do. Five possessions so far and 5 tds, have one called back on a holding otherwise it's 34-15. Let's keep doing what we do. If Vidor doesn't score to open the second half it's probably checkmate.

What 10th grader? What did you control, you were down 21-0 at half time?

Well Crosby, it's one district champ against another. Time to go be Code Red.

You pay $5 and it last the whole year if you get it at the beginning of the season. Way I see it, it's kind of a deal since you were probably going to pay $7 to get in.

If Vidor can put 31 on PAM with their personnel I would be concerned about Temple putting 51 on PAM in the third round. Remember y'all struggled with HISD Westside earlier this year after Brenham beat them 39-6 the week before. Different animal once you get to those Central Texas teams. Great coaching and while you don't see the same type of athleticism coming out of Central Texas they do produce some great players. Prime example is GT's qb that lit Ned up when he played against them, he didn't have a single D1 offer but will be the starter for A&M against Ole Miss this weekend.

You can never discredit anything the smaller schools do but there is a reason they separate classes by enrollment numbers. The being said it's hard to argue with the Dangerfield team in '83. I think two teams are tied for the best ever though, '85 Yates Lions and '15 Katy Tigers. In a time when people didn't throw the ball nearly as much Yates ended the season with over 100 team sacks and set a regular season scoring record at the time. 30 years later in the spread era Katy pitches ten shutouts and only gives up 2.6 points per game. Yates gets the nostalgia pass but the '15 Katy team is the best I've laid my eyes on during my adult life.

We'll find out, that game got Flannigan fired. Vidor has never been on the field with a Riordan coached team. I still give Vidor props for being the only team from 22-5A able to win a first round against Crosby the last eight years though.

If we get the screen game AND the read option going tonight I think all we would need to make at that point is make two or three stops defensively or maybe just turn Vidor over a couple of times. Can't have the personal fouls and drive killing penalties we've been having this year though, especially with the Vidor kids getting them amped up on Twitter. After watching more of Vidor's film I came to pretty much the same conclusion you did. With this being the healthiest we've been since the Heights game I feel excellent about how our personnel matches up on both sides of the ball.

Perry is committed to UTSA but also has a Big10 offer. Forgot about the other receiver, 6-3 Jordan Hill, who is also sitting on 9 offers currently.

Same way PAM lost to y'all. Everything just went right for you, you didn't actually win because you're the better team. Just had a night like Porter did against us, things eventually line themselves out though.

PAM scored 21 points on basically 32 plays that they got to run when they didn't turn the ball over. Between four lost fumbles and an onside kick they lost 5 possessions, if all they run is 3-4 plays on four of those possessions they probably score at least 14 more points. Everything came together for Vidor that night like it came together for Porter earlier in the year against Crosby. What you'll most notice between PAM and Crosby is that there's a drastic difference in coaching.

Chasing eye candy is exactly what PAM did watching the film from one of Vidor's lineman and rb. Nearly every misdirection play I saw Vidor make a big run the backside guy on the line of scrimmage took false steps to the fake side and was out of position when the play came back to him, same for some of those middle runs. I still think PAM wins if they don't have four lost fumbles and give up an onside kick though. I feel excellent about Crosby being able to defend Vidor's offense, I would even go as far as saying if Vidor gets down a couple of score early it's probably checkmate because at that point I think Crosby would just revert to pounding Grace between the tackles and letting Sqwirl stretch them out.

Yeah, the Klan was once a democratic affiliate. Old incumbent senators still had those ties in some states but disavowed them. Per Trump's rental agent Donald was there when his dad walked in to the office to explain why he couldn't rent to a qualified black nurse. He said we don't rent to n's and per this guy's testimony Donald was right there agreeing with him, which is backed up by a discrimination suit he had to settle later. JFK is viewed as a great democrat on the east coast, the southern democrat LBJ got the voting rights act of '64 passed which was the most landmark legislation since Brown vs the Board of education for black people. There's an old recording of LBJ on the phone saying we have to pass the N bill and I need your help. LBJ is viewed as twice the president Kennedy was by southern democrats. I don't turn a blind eye to anything, probably would help if I would start though.

He got elected in two electoral college landslides. Only 12% of the US population is black and only about 18% of electorate is Hispanic, which votes republican at 25%+, so it looks to me like a bunch of white people elected him. He doesn't have to say anything, if it wasn't true as boastful as he is there would be a tax returns to show his rates and wealth. Funny how the only one leaked when he tried to apply for a casino license showed a billion dollar loss though. Like he said during the debate "That makes him smart" though. I don't need Obamacare and I have great health insurance, 20+million more people do too. If the republicans would have worked on a more bi-partisan dual payer system instead of obstructing and forcing the dems to push it through because they were scared Obama would do something good there would be a far different system but you got it rammed down your throat and are choking on it now. Funniest thing is after losing the popular vote the last thing he could do while in office is hemorrhage more voters by repealing Obamacare. Keep believe though.

Baggage, seriously? From a guy who had to settle a housing discrimination suit and whose dad was arrested at a Klan rally? I would call referring to Mexicans as "rapist" and bragging about how you tried to have sex with married women on camera baggage. Where you're from the Klan and Mexican stuff doesn't matter though, a guy you think is a socialist and someone who had a private email server is MUCH worse. Like I said earlier, this is America so we can all believe what makes us feel good.

Nah, it makes you a sucker for a guy that would ship your job overseas or apply for visas for foreign workers because "There weren't enough qualified people" in the surrounding areas, or for that matter the United States. I'm third generation oil, when my boss asks me to send a multimillion dollar welding job or a vessel fabrication overseas again don't blame it on liberals. Just like I don't blame it on republicans when I call IT in Bangladesh.

Everything you just said proves what I was saying. Iran was in the process of creating enough highly enriched uranium to make a nuclear bomb per the inspection reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency. The United States wanted to slow this down but Iran would never bargain with us so Bush ok'd a series of cyber attacks against the programmable logic controllers of Iran's prime money maker, the oil industry. Iran couldn't figure out why all their oil lines started blowing up for no apparent reason, this was the US' way of squeezing GDP from them compounded with sanctions making them more likely to bargain in our eyes. Iran still wouldn't bargain so the US launched a cyber attack called Stuxnet to take over the PLCs on the centrifuges Iran was using to enrich the uranium. It was a joint venture between the CIA and Israeli Mossad, one that Israel messed up and got both countries caught but Iran came to the table. Republicans believe you can curve an ideology with sanctions but the democrats chose to use diplomacy, even if part of it was paying them back the money we owed them per the ruling in Geneva. Iran is not near the threat the right makes them out to be, after launching a retaliatory cyber attack against us US intelligence called Ahmadinejad and informed him they were inside his missile defense systems, communication systems and that they have the capability to turn the lights off in the country if he does anything that can be deemed an act of war. The republican line for the uneducated voter though, "Iran hates us and wants to nuke us" is good enough for welders and boilermakers though. Did Obama pull us out of Iraq or did he just honor Bush's de-escalation that was already in place when he got in office. From your post I can tell you have no idea. Iraqis wanted us out of their country because while they were oppressed under Saddam there was also a lawful society. After we went in looking for weapons of mass destruction they didn't have all we could basically do from that point on was occupy the country. A country which is strictly divided between Sunni and Shiite Muslims with a Kurdish majority in the northern part of the country. Saddam wasn't religious but identified as a Sunni Muslim and brutalized Shiites during his reign. However you want to look at it, there was order under him. Under US occupation the infrastructure of Iraq continuously declined, things didn't get better economically and they began to hate us. So basically what Obama did was allow less of our soldiers to get killed but he gets blamed for creating Isis' caliphate, typical right. People give Israel a pass because of the Holocaust but if you look at their actions around the world they're always instigating stuff and then hoping the US comes to their rescue. Israel constantly terrorizes the Palestinians and passes laws to further isolate them in hopes that they one day vacate the Gaza Strip. They're terrorizing Muslims though, so the rest of the world gives them a pass but that doesn't stop Israel from crying foul if the Palestinians do ANYTHING incendiary such as bring food into the country for the families. Jews are the people of God and the republicans are usually the more evangelical so it's a natural kinship, weird how they just elected an agnostic guy who said he doesn't ask for forgiveness though. The reason his ratings are high is simple, more people believe what I posted above than believe he wants to take away your guns. Otherwise his approval wouldn't get above the 50% mark.

Obama will most likely leave office with the highest approval rating since Reagan, even though he's dealt with unprecedented obstructionism in congress. Pretty hard to call that screwing the pooch but the people on this site are from Trump's base type areas so that's going to be a common view. I don't think it's a coincidence that in a year we elect the most exclusionist president since pre-reconstruction that David Duke also reaches a high enough percentage to compete in the Louisiana senate debates. There's a sect of American society that the courts ruled against in the 1960's that was just re-vindicated through the electoral college, I don't think that's a good thing.

Good post, very mature. Even though this is the 6th time in 7 elections republicans will lose the popular vote your post is a prime example of why Trump killed it with non-college educated white males. Vey myopic views on substantive issues.

Sad day for people like me. Maybe not to the same extent but I can understand what some of the people of Alabama felt like when George Wallace got elected. It just goes to show anti-Semitism, exclusionism and overt racism still has its place in today's society. We literally have a president elect that was sued and had to settle a housing discrimination suit and whose dad, Fred Trump, was arrested at a KKK rally protesting the immigration of Jews into the country. The state of New York had to settle with the Central Park 5 for over $40million for a wrongful conviction, yet Trump pushed that rhetoric much like he tried to delegitimize Obama's presidency by saying he wasn't an American citizen until a few months ago. Mitt Romney shot himself in the foot when he said a certain percentage of American don't pay taxes, lots of republicans agree with that. Now you have a guy admitting that he hasn't paid income tax in two decades and he's seen as "smart". The same people that believe he'll bring back don't realize how many people he put out of work by filing bankruptcy 6 different times, stiffing small business owners as well as other creditors along the way. Not to mention he still owes around $650million to foreign banks like the state owned Bank of China. What people will also realize is that republican aren't beholden to the middle class and that trickle-down economics favored by the right doesn't work. The people that run companies, especially ones that are publicly traded, main objective is to get maximum return on the dollar for their investors. If a company has the option of hiring 5k people to support their human resources and payroll at US wage rates or the option of hiring 5k people in India or Argentina at their rates, you kiss those jobs goodbye like many large corporations have. All the multibillion dollar fabrication jobs that can be performed cheaper in Mexico and Korea are still going be performed in Mexico and Korea because as an owner of a company that's smart business. I honestly think people are suckers if you believe even with a conservative supreme court that republicans will repeal Obamacare and take 20+million people off of health insurance, lock Hillary Clinton up, build a wall and have Mexico pay for it, ban Muslims from entering the country or put together a deportation force. At the end of the day he won't fulfill any of the promises that made the faction of his supports so fervent, just like every other politician he railed against.
