I think a lot of the frustration stemmed from Cuero kids getting away with a lot of unnecessary contact being made after the whistle was blown. I saw headbutts, punches, and even one kick.  It was pretty rampant in 1st and 2nd quarter and I don’t think there was one single call or talking to by a ref.  Also the straight up hold on kickoff return with left hand of Cuero player.  It wouldn’t  be so bad but when they show these on the replay the kids see it twice and it really pulls at the emotional strings.  Unfortunately the refs decided to wake up in 2nd half and keen in on HF then just really pile it on.  I’m fine with refs calling them out but you really need to penalize both parties involved.  At the end of the day you can’t bite on the unsportsmanlike conduct of Cuero players.  You’ve got to be the better team no matter what and keep a cool head.
 
Best of luck to Jasper.  I think your DL could really be a problem for Cuero Offense.  Also best of luck to Silsbee

Not even close. HF won 70-0 in 1991 to set the record. The Rice Bowl was discontinued for almost a decade after that game.

EC leads 24-23

Many have asked me, “What made you come up with this idea of wanting to help the Deaf and Hard of Hearing”? It all started when I met my Dads brothers who are both blind and mentally challenged. They are unable to walk at times, eat, bath, or doing anything by themselves. Now, at ages 55 and 51 they only have the mental capacity of a very young child. My dad always felt fortunate because he was born in between both of them and not only was he born without any handicaps but he also made it to the NFL. While playing college football, which is very time consuming, he would still find time to see and interact with his brothers and also give his time to the Big Brother programs in Evanston which he mentored several young men. My father ended up getting drafted 33rd pick (5th pick of the second round) in the 1984 NFL draft by the San Diego Chargers where he was able to raise his family and often do speaking engagements and fund raisers to help the handicapped. When my Mom got pregnant with me the doctors told her that there was a good possibility I was going to be just like my dad’s brothers due to test results. I didn’t speak until age 4 and growing up in pre-school all the way to my senior year of high school I was enrolled in the Special Education Program. I would get pulled out of class 3 times a week to work on my grammar as well as my memory with other special needs students. I was around them so much I grew a passion for them and loved being around them. During my junior year of high school I had to take a foreign language class and decided to take American Sign Language at the local University. I absolutely fell in love with it and thought it was so awesome to be able to talk to the deaf. I enjoyed it so much, I decided to help coach a mentally challenged/ deaf baseball team and I would donate my Saturdays to the special needs. I hung out with many deaf kids in San Diego once I learned fluent sign language and I still keep in touch with them today all the way from Texas. Currently I play college football for Texas State University and I have met a wonderful group of deaf people here. I drive an hour away a few days out of the week to hang out with them. I ask them all, “Do you guys want to go out to the bars with me?” and they all respond, “Why when we cannot associate ourselves with the crowd and it would be awkward for us to just stand in the corner of the bar?”. Then I asked other deaf people in Texas and California if they have ever been to a concert. ALL responded “NO”!! But every single one of them replied that they would WANT TO ATTEND A CONCERT! When I told them about my idea of performing sign language during concerts they all got so excited, and told me to do it. Remember the deaf are NO DIFFERENT THEN WE ARE. The fact that the year 2015 is here and they have not been able to enjoy club life and concerts UPSETS ME. For all the hearing, we can all agree that most of the friends, girlfriends/ boyfriends, and memories you have made is because of nightlife. My love for the deaf community goes THOUGH THIS ROOF. This is why I am here today. I am here to bring the fun of going to clubs and concerts for those that never experienced it before that would like to. I will provide wonderful entertainment for all to enjoy, (the hearing and the deaf TOGETHER for the first time ever). Now everyone will have the same equal opportunity to meet new friends, socialize, and dance with other friends across your town/state. I plan on having my next performance in about 1 month from now in central Texas. I will be doing several songs that will make you laugh, dance, and put smiles on all your faces. For the deaf/ hard of hearing, everyone has different ways of signing, so I will be posting the exact signs on my YouTube channel a week prior to performance so you can all sign along with each other just like how the hearing sing along together. I will post my performance dates, times, songs, and locations on my social media accounts.

I wanted to share this piece by Will Butler.  It's in regards to the performance pains of Texas State's Athletic department and how they routinely fail on building the brand.

I want to point out that 5 Texas State Bobcats ended up finding homes during and after this years NFL Draft.   This is the first set of Seniors that are coming off the results of moving up to FBS.  Proof is in the pudding that Texas State Football can be as great as it wants to be.  Better Players are stepping foot on campus everyday, plus the program is getting stronger and garnering more support every year.  It's great to see these guys get an opportunity, now it's on them to make something of it.  Eat'em Up Cats!

If it pans out, then smart move by Strong.  It makes sense to hire a successful coach from a winning football program.  HS Coaches will let him in the door and have easy access to recruits simply because of HS background as a Championship winning coach (tapping into that good ole boy network).  It's all about recruiting these days and these guys know how to approach the hs coaching staffs and hs recruits.  
 
Chad Morris took a similar route by hiring Coach Mathis from Desoto.    

6'2" 195lbs S Kylan Johnson of Dallas Skyline receives an offer from Texas State.  He currently holds others from UCLA, Washington State, and Wisconsin.
