Dexter reacted to Gasilla in West Orange Stark vs Navarro State Semifinal December 8, 2016

I told a friend of mine that the other day. I've been to every game where we've played the Region 4 champ and none of them were easy games. Even though I thought going in we should handle them easily. In 2000, with the defense we had and learning that Cal Allen was a run only team, I thought we would have that game in the bag, but they were much better at it than any team we had faced. I kind of get that same feeling this week. We've seen this offense over and over, but I got a feeling they will be tougher to stop than anyone we've seen. Hope I'm wrong.
Last year, against Cuero, going in I knew they (basically) have one play and there is no way a team beats us with one play. Well.. They didn't beat us with that one play, but they dang sure gave us a scare. We just have to remain focused and expect them to be better than anyone we've played.

You missed my point. I said 1) it is rare for a SLOT-T offensive team to win state, not a running based team. Also, this kind of offense has to have dominant lineman to win the whole thing...dominant lineman, not good linemen.
2) Everyone is not hooked on the spread. For goodness sake...it seems like half the teams in setx run that archaic offense (slot-T) and they almost never make a deep playoff run. What makes this scenario even sillier is that I think some of the coaches who run this offense would do so even if they had Earl Thomas or Deion Beasley on the team. It's all they know.

I was thinking the same thing, td (about expectations and not appreciating the journey). It really is amazing when the kids win a regional final by 6+ TDs and many of us (including myself) think, "well that's to be expected." It is a testament to those kids and their coaching staff and the long hard hours they have put in for years.
I also wanted to give a shout out to KOGT and especially Gary and John for their support and coverage of the Mustangs. For many of us who have kids at other schools, and are playing their own games on Friday nights, it is great for us to be able to keep up with the Mustangs and get to hear the action wherever we might be. It cracks me up when I've read critical comments about them on this site. For my money Gary is the Craig Way of HS sports broadcasting (I.e., far and away the best!) and Kimbrough is the best color guy he's had in the 20 years I've been tuning in.
Go take that next step Stangs in Houston on Friday!

Here's what you don't know, the Sup didn't and doesn't decide that. He offered charter buses. Coaches and players made that choice. They said it's not a vacation they are going to work. So your opinion of the Sup is all wrong!!! And yes they did stay in a hotel.
