WOS95

Very disappointing season again, unfortunately if something doesn't change, I expect the same results for years to come.  I'm not under the impression that we should win state every year, or even the district title.  Dan Hooks and Cornel Thompson are coaching legends, that are not easily replaced.  However, first round exits, two years in a row should be unacceptable.  In my opinion, there should either be a coaching change, or Coach Hickman needs to make major changes on how he's running the football program.

After seeing these first couple scrimmages the three positives I see:
1. I think the QB play will be a strength this yr. Turner seems to have turned the corner. I hope he is as much of a leader on the field as he is a competitor.
2. I saw the defensive coaches make adjustments after Vidors first series that went 2 plays and 70 yards. After that they got into the same defensive alignment wed been running against that offense for years with success. That was encouraging to see and the Vidor O didn't get much after that. Adjustments are a necessity and something we didn't see much last year.
3. The offensive and defensive lines are big. We've been needing some size up front. I feel it's hurt us in years past with our lack of size up front in late rounds. I don't know how good they are, and we certainly need to improve in our run game, but that usually develops into the season.
Lots of work still to do and not knowing how good the teams you've scrimmaged are really makes it tough to know much more.

Dome in 86 and kyle field in 87 in the rain was just as good as NRG in 15 and AT&T in 16. Just another fan opinion, but we tend to forget this is about the kids. Wonder what they'd rather? Also I feel the novelty of AT&T is wearing off. So many people went just to go. Now not so much. I've been 3x and won't go back until WOS does... 🤐

People keep pointing out the one year at NRG. There were three or four newer schools playing. 5A-DI George Ranch vs Lake Ridge (15,743).  5A-DII Cedar Park vs Frisco Lone Star (13,479). Not much of a following built up with a lack of alumni. Plus the big thing people don’t like to bring up. DFW doesn’t travel as well. They’ll show up when it’s in their backyard. Katy vs Lake Travis drew 43,718 in Houston. North Shore vs Westlake was 28,841.
Schools within 100 miles of AT&T Stadium went (5-1) this year. China Spring is 109 miles away and also won. There is a real home field advantage for the DFW. 
Stephenville (west of DFW) might have brought 5,000 fans in 1999 to the Astrodome. That was crazy to me considering the monster program they had built.
I like the idea of a 3 stadium rotation and San Antonio is most central location with a dome if a rotation isn’t possible.
There’s also the crowd talking about the experience the kids get playing in AT&T. Well I’ll say Newton was just a excited to win a title in Tyler Rose Stadium when the weather was in the 20’s as they were when winning it AT&T. 
 

Pretty much.
I still think it should be on a 3 year rotation with NRG and Alamodome.

Agree, the crowds weren’t as big this it seems like. That use to be the excuse I heard that bigger crowds showed up in Dallas. Need a rotation for sure. Btw, I wasn’t impressed with Jerry’s world seating.

Indeed we do. Just wish we were still playing as well.

All of the people who get on here and spew about stats and why their team should win or will win need to step back and take a look at what WOS is doing. They are making SETX Sports history. WHat a team. What a town. What a program. What a great group of kids. WHAT A GREAT SET OF COACHES. Way to go WOS. This Indian is so very proud of you guys.

I tell you what, I'll give you a couple hours to edit your post before I rock your world with some video evidence. If I were you I'd subscribe to Texan Drive and watch the play at the goal line where you got called for an illegal formation. Remember, you have to have 7 on the LOS... The clock starts now...

I do cringe when I see what seems to be a default 40 point win prediction every time the Mustangs take the field.  Last year is last year and it seems like those that make those predictions are expecting Jack Dallas, KJ Miller, Mo Joseph, Jeremiah Shaw, T Brown and others from last year's team to pop out of the Mustang inflatable.  They won't...they've graduated and are on to the next phase of their lives (which all of them seem to be doing real well in).  Cornel Thompson realizes that, Eddie Dyer realizes that, Mike Pierce realizes that.   It might be time for some of us to realize that.  Last year's team and their accomplishments will go down in the annals of Texas High School Football History.  It probably won't happen again in our lifetime, it might not happen ever again.
So when I see Eddie criticized for not doing things on offense that the Mustangs did last year, I find that patently unfair to him.  Jack Dallas and Chaka Watson are two different young men.  There are parts of the offensive playbook that he opens up for Chaka to execute that he would have never dreamed of asking Jack to do.  By the same token, there are parts of the play book that he would open up to Jack that he would never ask Chaka to do.  Why?  Not because one is any less of an quality quarterback than the other, but because they possess different skill sets which lend themselves to different parts of the Mustang playbook.
Would I like to see some of the same things as last year? Of course.  But the current personnel package needs to have plays called that fit in their skill sets, not the skill sets of Jack or KJ or Keion or Jeremiah.  And last Friday painted the Mustang's offense further into a corner.  I don't know of any team that would be able to lose the services of their starting quarterback and expect the offense to run smoothly.  It doesn't happen in the NFL, it doesn't happen in the NCAA and no, it doesn't happen in West Orange, Texas.  Tyrone Wilson will do great things when it is his turn, but to expect him to at this point to do the same things as Chaka is just as unfair as expecting Chaka to be a carbon copy of Jack.  And to expect Eddie Dyer to call the same plays for those 3 different young men is the height of stupidity.
The end result is that the Mustangs won, just as they have done for every week that they have played since the middle of 2015 for 37 straight games and 14 straight playoff games.
Now that is not to say that I don't believe the 2017 Mustangs are a top notch ball team.  They are on a path to play for a 3rd straight state championship.  All I am saying is that there is no need to blow a gasket and demand wholesale changes in a great coaching staff because they aren't beating teams by 30-40 points!

What coach in the whole State of Texas wouldn’t be spoiled having JD and company?? Come on! Eddie is doing an awesome job. People need to stop trying to compare this team to last years. It’s not fair to the coaches or kids. This is a different team with a different playing style. If anyone has been spoiled the last few years it’s the fans that can’t understand last years graduating class was a once every 20+ year team! There are plays where CW had almost 8 options or Check downs that could probably score every time but CW hasn’t had that much time to read all of them. 

Amen. Let's just respect the way all of the boys played. This game could've gone either way and may go the other way next time. I for one will just appreciate a good baseball game played by competitive young men that respect each other. 

I thought it was as good of a game as everyone thought it would be. Pitching, hitting, fielding and errors by both teams and that's all just part of the game. The boys respect each other and I love that part of the game. I saw Jack hugging it out with Partain and Sundgren after the game. 
On top of everything Coach Ronnie Anderson was there and that always makes for a good day at any baseball park. 

If this is about Coach Neumann retiring it's already on KFDM Facebook page...do what you need to do to this post...but just letting you know it's out there as of 30 minutes ago..

prefer games in Houston...hate Dallas roads and traffic...AT&T stadium is nicer of course, but you'll never convince me that it does not give an advantage to DFW teams having it there every year....games should be rotated between Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio...jmo

AT&T gives metroplex schools an advantage., They have home field advantage . The team sleeps at home the night before the game, they practice at their facilty the day before the game . Their fan base doesn't have to travel , which is costly . A number of them  play other playoff games at the venue . It's setup for NFL football , not high school. So familiarity with the venue is an advantage . Definitely a disadvantage for the lower classification having to play on Wednesday and Thursday , short prep week. 
As a fan I love going and watching 5 or 6 games over two days . But I really believe what is best for teams and their fans is to let the two teams pick the venue for their game .
But it appears money hungry entities have railroaded high school football in Texas.

I wish there was never another game played at AT&T.
It doesn't matter where they are played, people are going to come to the State Championship Games, regardless. Exiting the parking lot at AT&T was just stupid. Never seen anything like it. I sat in my truck for 32 minutes, without moving. WTH????

man crush monday.
