Mr. Buddy Garrity

i hated when Kentucky fired Tubby. He's a great guy, he'll get Tech back into the NCAA Tournament sooner rather than later.

Sc with there qb and two receivers back and that transfer running back. And Crosby with the twins and that tight end coming back. If they find a defense they would be serious contenders in D2. [/quote] Why do you think D2 is so much easier?  To me it's all the same. [/quote] In my opinion there are a lot more tougher teams in D1 than in D2. At least it was that way last year. I'm not saying that all teams in D2 are push overs. I'm just saying D1 has a lot more powerhouse teams. IMO that is. [/quote]I agree, the reason D2 is easier is because of the enrollment. Georgetown won 3 or 4 games in 5a before realignment. The powerhouse teams like Dawson, Georgetown, Summer Creek, and 4a state champ Denton Guyer all have enrollments around 2000 or above. All things being equal an extra 5-600 kids makes a big difference. Division 2 teams are usually within a couple hundred kids of each other which makes for less disparity between the teams. [/quote] Then how do you explain some small schools consistently beating bigger schools or even schools from a lager classification?  BTW, I wouldn't consider Georgetown and SC powerhouses yet.  Nothing against them, but SC has one playoff win and Georgetown had one good year.  Dawson is proven, but that's about it.  Even they lose to a few smaller schools. [/quote] Which smaller schools are you talking about?? [/quote] Brenham, LaMarque, Navasota, Stephenville & Dayton.  Those schools have under 1,500 students and have consistently beat schools with a 2000+ enrollment. [/quote] Forgot about Ned [/quote]i guess i have a different definition of consistently then. ned is the perfect example. i read an article earlier this year by some guy who had ned winning the region and cedar park winning the state championship saying cedar park was the best 4a team in the state. at the time ned was like 3-1 and cedar park was 2-2 so naturally i thought this guy was off his rocker and wasn't going to read that trash anymore. ned played for a regional crown in d1 and cedar park won the state 4a crown in d2. he also said, ''with teams like guyer, georgetown'' and some san antonio school ''dropping down they should already have a playoff spot reserved''. georgetown has been in the 5a cellar the last couple of years, they won 15 games in 4a last year. i'm not at all being confrontational but what 4a playoff teams with 2000 kids has ned consistently beat. there's a single win over dawson but 2 losses to 2k enrollment schools, before that it was consecutive first round losses to crosby. not even the great la marque could consistently beat 2k enrollment dawson and manvel in the district and especially playoff time. what team like that has dayton beat. of course a good 4a team can beat the 5a teams like [b]atascosita[/b], chavez, reagan, and south houston but there's a difference between those high enrollment schools and a 4a district champ with 2000 kids. saying that i do believe any team can be beat a a given night. [/quote] Atascocita is probably a bad example, they as well as Kingwood got slaughtered by the likes of Westfield and other schools 1000+ higher enrollment in 13-5a. I feel like just about anyone aside from a 5a powerhouse would experience a similar fate. [/quote]i agree, i wouldnt want to be in their district.

[quote name="Sfajacks10" post="1390930" timestamp="1364954225"] I wonder how that will affect Wiggins?? Can't see him going to a stacked team like this. I kind of want him to go to his parents alma mater at Florida State to see him play against Jabari Parker at Duke a couple of times next year. The bad thing about that is FSU is not all that great. [/quote]funny you mention that, word on the street is FSU is his #1 choice. I hope Coach Cal can change his mind.

Cmon Rangers!

wow!

[quote name="mytwocents" post="1390891" timestamp="1364949531"] Wow! And how does this guy not already have a lawsuit pending against him for kicking and shoving the players and throwing balls at em?!? [/quote] Rumor mill has him being fired by morning. IMO he shoulda been fired when he was suspended 3 weeks and fined $50K earlier in the year for an incident.

probably since he's been there. one guy was fired after he alerted the administration about this, he is in the process of filing a wrongful termination lawsuit.

[quote name="Scatright" post="1390881" timestamp="1364948283"] I played against Eric Alexander in HS.  He was a beast.  He was practically the only thing that SFA had the year they were in the district with HD. [/quote] You didnt play against him, we didnt have Eric in 2A. his last year was the [b]1999 season[/b]  ;)

[quote name="PN-G bamakid" post="1390871" timestamp="1364944422"] I can live with letting homeschooled kids play in the districts in which they reside. Even though you're going to end up with families that homeschool their children moving into different districts with better athletic teams. Also, they better make sure the same rules apply about athletic transfers, because there will be people who all of the sudden pull their kids out of school, move to a district with better athletic activities and "homeschool" their children there. [/quote] ;)

hmmmmm :-X

[/quote] Of course there is.  Its sometimes just hard to see with all of that length they have! Syracuse believes in that zone and they live and die by it. Which means they may play it a little better than most teams that use it as a secondary defense. [/quote] Well, if there is, then why hasnt it been exploited and why is Syracuse still playing? [/quote] Cause their zone is the equal of Louisville's Press: [b]You simply cant beat it throughout the duration of the game[/b] which is why i think those two will meet for the National Title.
