I have all my picks since the start of the season written down.. who do I send them to for my points? 🤫
I thought I missed one, but with an eraser and a keen eye I realized I had that one correct as well.

How is Anahuacs running back doing. Is he playing tonight? Been hearing a lot of good things about him.
Coates has been the standout to me for Anahuac. On defenses and offense.

EC has more penalties than Anahuac.
Current score is indicative of how it's being played.
That was for all the folks who believe EC somehow pays the refs off. 😜

Whole lee what the baby Jesus

Panthers by 42 it sounds like.

Everybody seems to forget their backfield was gutted and the one back they were relying on in Reeves had his first snaps of the season vs Buna.
Sometimes all it takes to really get going is a spark from a leader like that. Not always, but sometimes.

Good luck with Reeves back.

I mean I think it’s called football. As you seen all the backups was in the game I guess they don’t deserve to play. I heard y’all was cussing at the kids on y’all team and trash talking after they was trying to shake hands just sayin
Since you think you know all about it...There is no "yall" here. I was watching the game because a co-worker invited me that is FROM Buna and since I am from the area I attended. I asked why don't they run out the clock and he just looked at me and shrugged.

Here you go. Maybe you misread what forum you were in. It happens.
Nah, most understood the conversation and a few didn't. Some start at the last comment instead of the first and it shows.
It's all good. Like I said in my original reply, I simply thought Buna was classier than what they have shown in the past month or so.
Statement still stands.

I don’t even have a kid old enough to play. All I’m saying is parents these days are getting soft, so what they ran up the score don’t cry about it get better! Set an example for the kids to not have excuses and just work hard to win. I’m sure those kids will have a chance to return the favor sooner or later.

Fair enough and good point. Some can’t follow a simple conversation and it shows. Half the problem with the new generation is they talk before hearing the question or the other person’s statement before trying to get their point across.
So just to clarify, all my comments from the very start have been about a “non-elite / non-select” youth football league with very specific rules about running up the score, code of conduct, etc. that Buna competes in.
I have always thought Buna was a classier bunch of folks on the field until I watched a few games in this league. And when I saw this score I couldn’t help but think back to those games in that particular league. Maybe it’s a few bad apples… I dunno.
lmao, and if you think the problem is “parents getting soft” is the issue I challenge you to go watch some of these youth games. There’s a reason why there’s fights breaking out amongst the crowds weekly.
Good luck Buna and stay classy.

If Buna wanted to run it up they would not have agreed to a running clock.
10 minute quarters with a running clock is the norm in that league.

Sounds like someone is butt hurt that Buna’s flag team stomped a mudd hole in them 😂😂
Are you really that dense? If so, you are part of the problem.
Sounds like Buna fans are the type to tell their sons to kick a kid while their down. I mean they are already down there - hell why not? All the kid on the ground has to do is stop from getting kicked.
There are several different select / elite leagues out there to choose from if you want to live vicariously through your children, Al Bundy.
But when you agree rules of a league and are the VP of said league, one would think practicing of these rules would be adhered to. But then again, there are folks like you in this world. Now I understand better why videos emerge weekly of parents fighting each other at a kid's sporting event.
Thanks for the insight.

Seems like good practice for a potential situation later in the season.
All you have to do is stop them.
Yeah, and if it was in the rules to run it up there would be no issue. But when the rules specifically states otherwise.. well.. that makes you trashy.

What do you want them to do? Tell the backups to take a knee instead of playing? The backup QB played the entire 2nd half, along with many backups on defense. If you weren't there, don't talk about it. Also, you can't exactly "run it up" in flag football with the 30 point rule.
And when a coach is telling his kids to "hurry hurry hurry, run run, line up" on a running clock, up 30+ points just to score a 2 point conversion after a touchdown with 12 seconds left, that's trying to "run it up". Convince me otherwise, please.

So many things wrong about this I wouldn't even know where to start. Public forum and anybody is welcome to talk about anything they wish. Go boss your wife and kids around.. not me.

Running it up from the varsity level down through flag football. Classy bunch of folks!
I really thought a bit higher of Buna than this from the few folks I know out that way, but the truth eventually comes out.
-
Lmao, man it eats some folks up that kids would choose EC over other schools. Really strange.

I think their run game will be fine. #4 Thibs and #16 Reeves looked really good. More concerned about the pass game.
I think you could trot just about anybody out there against Kelly and look really good. I'd rather have my #1 from last year with 1200+ yds as a sophomore against a 4A rival.. just call me weird. 🙃

Depends on if the EC starting RB is back this week. I have not heard.

When Crosby has 3,600 kids like King does we’ll absolutely be able to compete with them again. You use the Ridge Point example but left out the fact that the very next year after we played them they were playing in the 6A-D1 playoffs so to say they “barely” crossed the threshold is pretty naive. King’s enrollment has jumped by 1,300 kids since the last time they played Crosby.
Lol, I’d we listed to you Crosby would still suck. You talked all that hot **** about Crosby not being able to beat anybody else besides the GT teams and we run through the region in back to back years.
Just make sure you keep that exact same energy when we’re healthy.
*just so y’all can reference what @panamamyers was saying in relation to Ridge Point. The very next year they went 10-0 in the Fort Bend 6A district and lost in the 2nd round of the 6A-D1 playoffs to Lamar. Same situation as George Ranch, Shadow Creek and now Katy Paetow, who all won titles, winning big while they’re more than 1,000 students over the cutoff line.
Where did 3,600 come from? All I see is 2900 published in every database / article I can find.
I'm not trying to be rude.. just curious if I'm not up to date on enrollment numbers.Thanks.

Yep, I think that is what I said and understood in the sections that I listened to.
And the no playoffs, if I heard correctly, is not a penalty but a rule (like I think you said earlier). A school can’t make the playoffs in a lower classification and for this year, they are stuck in that lower classification because it was too late (like you said earlier).
I was reading another sports forum where a few people were angry with the UIL, it was some underhanded dealings toward Alto, they were cheating the kids and blah blah.
I don’t think so. It was unfortunate but the UIL didn’t do anything wrong toward Alto.
Yeah I agree.
The UIL can seem heavy handed at times, but they follow the rules set forth and in my opinion really do try and be fair. The primary thing they seem to keep in the back of their minds at all times is to "keep a level playing field".MOST of their 'cases' are appeals from players who were deemed "transferring for athletic purposes" and I have to say.. I am impressed with the way they handle their proceedings.
Some of them are tough decisions that they don't want to make, but they know they can not simply overrule a district's decision based on 'feelings'.
Of course some of them are obvious in that the players have told their old coaches / teachers and sometimes through texts / emails that they are going to the school up the road because the program is better.

That is what I kind of understood and it was brought up in part of the hearing that I listened to. The UIL in the hearing said that the coaches knew back in December what district they would be in. I didn’t listen to the entire hearing but I am reasonably certain that the UIL committee didn’t get the case until early August or over 7 months after the mistake was made
Also from what I understood, the UIL didn’t punish Alto except to put them on (I think) 3 years of probation. The chairman said in the meeting, probation is pretty much, we will have our eye on you for 3 years to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
Alto was caught up in a severely limited time frame leaving almost no option for this year.
I didn’t hear where Alto was accused of intentionally falsifying the numbers. In fact if that could be proven, it is likely a felony.
The UIL drew an attendance line for divisions and Alto by their own mistake fell on the wrong side of the line.
Someone needs to listen to the entire 70 minute hearing and report back….. 😀
I listened to it all. The arbitrator / investigator / lawyer said there was no indication of intentional wrong doing. It was more or less not enough people involved combined with a poor process in how the numbers are collected and then reported.
Probation (3 years), report turned in to the UIL detailing the improved process of reporting enrollments, AND no playoffs (1 year) is my understanding of the penalties / sanctions.
-
I listened to this ruling several days ago and it seems to have been a simple "small school with not enough resources" and not a "let's falsify the numbers so our kids can compete against schools with less kids" to my ears.
The two primary folks that were involved in the counting students to send these reports have 3 years in those roles combined. I would be shocked if this was intentional. Sure the coach / AD would know where that line was that divides the divisions, but that doesn't mean the folks actually doing the work did.
And looking at it from an outside perspective, they could have easily held a few students out of the official counts because they were being overly cautious so that the funding per student was not unintentionally inflated.. which would have potentially caused issues on the administrative / financial side of things.
But it sounded like it boiled down to 1-2 folks either being lazy or not having a good process in place or a combination of both.
I get WHY the UIL can't allow them to play in the post-season, but feel bad for these seniors. I'm not sure how the process played out, but it sounds like Alto could have admitted their mistakes and potentially found a district for these kids months ago. But instead tried to fight it until it was too late.. but again I'm not sure the timing of all of these procedures.
Bi-District - Woodville vs East Chambers Predictions/GAME MOVED TO SATURDAY, 2pm

Sounds like Woodville by 28 or so. I think the UIL should just give them a bye at this point.
