Cougar14.2

Well, can't say I didn't call it. I just wish I would've been wrong. Everything I said about us making the Joe Willis hire this offseason is exactly what played out. If you watched all the Tyler Legacy games I did this past offseason you would've most likely come to the same conclusion as me that him going 2-8 last year and backing it up with another 2-8 this year isn't a coincidence. 
Before the season started I said "This isn't Cedar Park", meaning all of the built in advantages that he had there or even Colleyville Heritage, do not exist at Crosby. People on here that know absolutely nothing about our program had strong opinions on my remarks regarding why I don't think the hire "fit" Crosby. I said he was an older, lower energy CEO type coach that didn't fit our culture. I said he ran a system that didn't fit our personnel and actually exacerbated issues Riordan and Prieto covered up so well, like good coaches do.
We've kind of always been on the lower end of the the participation scale. I said before the season that if kids and parents didn't like what they saw that they would just transfer out to one of the other nearby schools, and they have. Depending on how convicted some of the other parents are to their remarks I heard them make this year, we could be looking at a major exodus of talent from the lower classes over the Spring semester and Summer. 
I didn't comment all year because there was nothing positive to mention and there was no point in running the coach down every week for things that everybody could turn on a game and see themselves. It was the worst play-calling we've witnessed since Flannigan, the worst scheme we've seen since Flannigan and the worst personnel moves we've seen since Flannigan. This is magnified by the fact that no assistants wanted to come work for Willis so we have a bunch of local guys with very little actual coaching experience to help mitigate the issues. 
I think Willis is a good coach and I can see the end intentions on a lot of the things that didn't play out the way he thought they would, but he's an old coach set in his way and convinced they'll work. Not sure how long he's going to be here as I've heard he was only given a two year contract but what I will say is that outside of him finding the easiest non-district games he can for next year, I wouldn't expect Crosby's record to look much different than it did this year for the foreseeable future. 
*Today Crosby votes on a new $85M bond for another elementary school, a second middle school, an expansion of the 5 year old high school and general facility maintenance. Bond says they expect Crosby ISD to get 5,000 new students by 2033 meaning a projected high school enrollment ~ 3,800. Basically the new alignment will be the last two years Crosby has to try to be competitive before going in to the 6A abyss. Sad state of affairs what an administration can do to a program but here we are, had some fun times though.

Nah bro, I’m done. I just pray the kids stay healthy and make the playoffs. It’s really going to hit the fan when y’all come to town and embarrass us in our own stadium. 

0-10 is a real possibility this year. But hey, at least we have a gray coach according to the people on this site. Dude is awful, he’s exactly what I said he would be. We run an offense that doesn’t fit our players, players are playing out of position and the play-calling is pop Warner level. 
 
I was told by a coach that Crosby was getting lucky winning all those games. We were unorganized on defense and played bad technique. We only stopped people because we blitzed a lot. Said we didn’t have the talent to be winning this games we did. If that’s the type of staff we had were destined to become bottom feeders. 
 
“Give him time”, huh? Dude is screwing over one of the more talented teams Crosby has put on the field in recent years. Kids probably checked out after tonight. Y’all were in me in the Summer when I told y’all this dude wasn’t the one for Crosby, unfortunately I was spot on.

Thank you. I have much respect for your opinions. 

Yes, they’re that much better than Crosby with this coaching staff. No, they’re not light years better than last year as the score may indicate. They’re better at QB but offense is still the same basic “get out in space and make a play”. QB run threat is about equal to last year with Davis. O-line is a little bigger but still just ok in general. 
 
I’m not sure they’re better on the defensive line than last year after losing the Baylor and TCU kids but I think their DTs are more solid. Secondary is their strong suit as usual and the speed is typical of what you see from them. You have to see them against a better coaches team but I would say in general that this is their most complete squad since those state finals teams they had. 

I saw no "want to" in this Crosby team tonight.Completely outclassed.

I sure wish you would have brought that rb to Dayton this year. Think it would have been best for everyone.

This is going to be worse than last week. Completely unprepared to play. Trying to be positive about the coaching but when we hired Willis I said his style of offense wasn’t conducive to the type players Crosby produces. Going to be tough to make the playoffs with the kids being coached like this. 

Just for reference Seven Lakes was 1-9, they’re the worst program in Katy ISD.

We’ve actually been to Jerry World though. Only time you’ve seen it is when the Cowboys are playing. We do what I think we’re capable of tomorrow and I’m going to go ahead and clear off the Thanksgiving calendar though. 

Two years ago Crosby came to The Reservation and was goal line fumble by my little guy away from dropping 75. Fast forward one year later after making one hire and they're in the title game. North Shore has always been good, but it wasn't until they gave the job to Jon Kay that they reached the level they are now. Duncanville has always been one of the most talented teams in the state but the last decade or so before Samples got there they couldn't even make the playoffs consistently. I guess I may be the only one but I think BU is also one hire away from putting a competitive product on the field. 

Hold up literally no one is saying we didn't get mashed by King, They blasted us, however we did things against Kings defense that we could not do last year, we are much healthier than last year at this point as well. 
We did beat FBM last year. New years, new teams. FBM is always good, they always have great athletes and the way you beat that team is by staying disciplined and out executing them. That's what the Cougars must do to win this one this week. 
No one doubts the talent down their in MoCity. Should be another great test for Crosby. 

and u a bigger dumb azz for thinking and wanting United to play "mediocre" 6a teams when they can't beat 5a d2 teams. make it make since azz clown. i see u a madden hero
 

Third week in a row I've know about the film that was sent over because this is my 6th year having a son who plays varsity football at Crosby. My sophomore nephew got moved up to varsity and my freshman son will be up there next year. So for at least 29 more weeks in a row I will have HUDL logins to view the scout film that is sent over from opposing coaches and posted to the team account for the kids to study. 
I post things for the Crosby fans that are interested in their team. The reason people see me around town ask "So what do you think about this week?" or "How we looking?" is because they know I do stuff like get up Sunday mornings at 5AM to go sit in the mancave and watch film for three or four hours before I get on here posting what I think about a game. 

Go Crosby. Take it to them.

The scout film they sent over this week is 136 plays and they don't look great on any of that either. You also have to take into account that they played a 6A school over twice their size though. That was their first game out and they're trying to replace 80% of their offensive production from last year. Outside of the times when they had Malik Hornsby and JW Ketchum playing QB their offense has always looked unimpressive .  .  .  until you get on the field with them and understand why they have won 6 of the last 8 5A track and field state titles. FBM beats you with overall team speed and defense and their defense looks pretty solid. 
Not that it matters this week but Klein probably would've won the game if not for that holding call in OT on 1st and goal from the 4 yard line. Klein can't throw the ball at all but was gashing FBM with the QB keeper. Klein's base formation is pretty similar to what Crosby runs now, what I'm hoping is that they defend us the same way and we capitalize on some of the big play opportunities Klein couldn't hit. 

Man, it doesn’t get any more mediocre in 6A than Brazoswood. They’re one of those “dial a W” squads no good teams around here really even play. Every now and then they play Angleton in non-district because it’s right up the street but they’re generally viewed as so bad all they can get is teams like Sterling and Northbrook like they have this year, oh and BU. 
 
Coach Willis talked about playing well coached teams so you can steal the stuff they do. While I think we all agree playing PNG doesn’t help BU physically for what they’ll see in 6A, they may not play a team on their schedule better coached scheme wise. Those are the type things you would hope BU could take advantage of before the program got better and you couldn’t play games like that. BU also need to figure out why PNG has less talent but better football players? 
 
What I’m saying about BU vs North Shore’s football playing populations is that even with split up schools North Shore is playing with about 1,045 to BU’s 1,440. There’s no difference in the two schools economically, facilities wise yes, but if BU could manage to put a decent product on the field they could increase participation and incoming transfer rates which would lead to being successful even quicker. All that aside, even now with those numbers BU should be in the conversation. 

I remember when we moved from PNG to BH, I let guys pick my name. That’s how I got TradenUpBH. Some fun times. Some of you guys have put some serious work into this site so we all can get on and smack talk, joke around, and chop it up. My hat off to you guys
