  1. It will be back where it belongs at Cowboys in Tarrant County. They have done the turnaround before with six-man one day, NFL (crowded field) next. That was much more difficult of a switch.
  2. Isn't one of the KIPP schools that Scarborough beat to end their losing streak? It's not that same school is it.
  3. I am young, but for the teenagers and younger that have seen the old highlights of Kobe, they just witnessed what everyone was used to seeing for so many years. The Black Mamba struck in the 4th quarter. All the teammates there was great. Best way to end the career of one of the legends. This is the Kobe everyone should remember.
  4. Idaho and New Mexico State will announce that they are dropping down to FCS for 2017 or 2018 season onward.
  5. Hoping Oklahoma can win run the table and win. Lattin winning 50 years after his grandfather won (and changed college basketball) in their hometown. How much better a story can you write.
  6. None of these three were refugees. Two were born in raised in Belgium and the other was raised there after immigrating from Morocco when he was a child.
  7. Just my thinking... TV has changed the game. It used to be the big programs and conferences had all the TV time, but with cable and internet more and more programs are able to have their games watched by people other than those just at the game.
  8. 10 teams is easier than 9 for scheduling. Was surprised at first Caney Creek was going to change but UIL smartly reversed course within a week. With a 9 team district you play everyone twice for 16 district games over 18 dates. That is a lot of games and in baseball and softball, it is every possible game but one. With a 10 team district, the teams are divided into two zones and play the teams in their zone twice and the other zone once. This equals 13 district games over 13 dates. Much easier for other sports with game limits, plus no byes. If the district teams choose to they can play a 14th game between the 1st place teams for district championship, 2 and 3 cross zone for the 3rd and 4th playoff spot, and then 4 and 5 would play each other. I
  9. I thought about that, but this Michigan State team should have been a 1 and many had them picked to win the National Championship, or at the worst in the final four.
  10. Is this the biggest NCAA First Round Upset Ever?
  11. The Pac-12 is always overvalued. Cal losing to Hawaii would look the worse, but considering everything that has happened to them this week, it is almost surprising it is not 10-20 points.
  12. Big 12 is easily the strongest conference top to bottom. They will be replaced by good coaches to make the conference that much more tough.
  13. Smart did well this year, but that's who I thought Texas should have gone after last year. Plays a similar style and beat Smart when he was at VCU. TCU should be going after him this year. Him with Big 12 backing and his style will bring in recruits.
  14. After the Madison scandal, Dallas checks everything twice. You can refuse to believe it, but if the players have transferred in from another school within Dallas ISD or elsewhere they have to sit out a year. It could be that 4 or 5 transferred in as freshman but then again a player from Kountze or Lumberton could transfer in to Silsbee. The same rules apply. If they don't live there it's one year waiting.
  15. They aren't going to vote to leave. It's just like Scotland. They have the vote it seems like it will be close but in the end it will be around 60/40 if not more. The UK has the most freedom out of any of the EU members and by staying in they will have even more freedom. It's just an appeasement move.
  16. Skyline is 6A , but why should Lincoln and Carter be forced to play 6A? Dallas is not like Houston or even Beaumont ISDs. They do not allow players to transfer between programs or pick their high school. Madison did break the rules, but they were caught and Dallas has only doubled down on the efforts on making sure the players live in the attendance zone of the school they attend or else sit out. The coaches and administrators were fired, as well as the state championship being vacated. Skyline does accept players but only if they are in the magnet program and that is not many of the athletes. If you look at their football program they have a lot less players than other 6A programs. South Dallas has always just had athletes. Lincoln and Madison are a little bit more north, but Carter and SOC are a part of Dallas ISD. DeSoto, Duncanville, and Lancaster are all separate districts. It might be one of the most talented areas in the country based on the size of the area. Nothing against Silsbee. Hopefully they will win it next year. I just don't think schools should be forced to play in a different classification because it is in a city. Houston ISD is another story because of the rules, but Dallas, the San Antonio districts, Fort Worth, and Austin do not allow transfers. They follow the same rules as Silsbee and Hardin Jefferson and for that they should not be punished.
  17. Livingston has been placed in 22-5A. Baytown Lee has been moved to 21-5A for all sports but football.
  18. Caney Creek has been added back to 21-5A for all sports
  19. Caney Creek has been added back to 21-5A for all sports
  20. Caney Creek has been moved back to 21-5A for all sports
  21. Brock will be just fine. They are known as Little Aledo for a reason.
  22. Online but only if you pay 10.00 for a day pass or 15 for a month.
  23. No they signed an agreement with NFHS. If you pay either $10 for a one day pass or $15 for a month subscription you can watch the games online Thursday and Friday. Saturday all but the middle two games will be televised on one of the Fox Sports Channels and will be available to stream on Fox Sports Go. The other two games, which includes possibly Big Sandy, can only be watched through subscription.
  24. I did not say that they would. I said they may try. Different game up there. Winner will be whoever can play their style or who can adjust best.
  25. Probably not. If Levelland can they may keep the game in the 20s. So a 30 point win would be impossible. Whoever sets the tempo will change the game.
