I was at teh game...If Liberty can hold on to the ball (they had what? 6, 7 turnovers? and prolly 3 or 4 unforced) then they will be fine, esp. in their district....If Bridge City's QB can throw the ball like he did in the 4th quarter then they will be alright through the year, their district is a lot tougher so i dunno how well they will do there...Hopefully Bridge City's running back is ok, he got plastered on BC's last offensive play of the game and took awhile to get up, they are gonna need him to do anything this year...

they are judging it on history...w/ huffman dropping it should be a little better than last year but last year it was arguably the weakest 3a district in the state...it was really really bad....i hope it gets better cause then it means there will be better football to watch...

to be fair, most of Liberty's district lost to 2A schools in real games last year, so beating one, even in just a scrimmage, is ahead of the curve and maybe playoff worthy considering Hardin was decent last year (i dont konw what they have coming back).... Liberty's inability to pass protect might come from the fact that they havent passed the ball consistantly in the program's history, seriously for all of Liberty's history their trick play was to pass the ball and it was even moreso this way under Stewart....you gotta give the kids some time to learn a completely new offense from what they were running (im assuming its comepletely new since its a new coach and you mentioned the word pass)...last year they had probs running around the edges and were good running it down people's throats so that part isnt too surprising, disheartening to see it isnt better but once again a new offense so maybe they will figure it out....and the secondary being bad shouldnt be too much of a prob being that no one else passes on a consistant basis in Liberty's district (unless if Huffman has changed their offense since the last time they were 3a, i havent seen them in a couple years).... honestly, since Liberty has a new coach I don't expect them to do much but their district is soooo bad that they could make the playoffs if they figure out their new system by district time (might be tuff to do considering their non-district opponents but we will see)...unfortunately for Liberty and the other teams in their district due to it being so bad whoever makes the playoffs probably wont go far barring the miracle run or a team that really rises up and surprises people....

wonder if it is this Sam Houston [Hidden Content] 2nd longest losing streak in all of texas high school football....maybe he wont have that much pressure afterall, as long as he surpases the football teams performance...

is Baytown not considered SETX? i nominated the 2 baytown kids and you can throw a rock and hit baytown from barber's hill, their kids are on the list...just wondering...

if they havent lost a district game in 8 years then the last time they lost a district game was the last time they were in 21-5a...i'd guess it wouldve been the game they lost by Baytown Lee blocking their field goal with time expiring (was the last week of the season), the next year they ran the table in 21-5a and after that they were moved to the district they were in until this coming year... 21-5a looked a little different then though, North Shore along w/ Deer Park were in the District, there was no Port Arthur Memorial yet, West Brook along with Sterling were horrible and Baytown Lee had Drew Tate, and the district still enjoyed the dancing sensation that is the Beaumont Central band at halftime (and they were pretty decent at football)...anyway, i think North Shore will probably win it this year, but who knows 21-5a has historically been more competitive than the district they were in...

Hey what year was that When Liberty beat Stafford off that last minute turnover... i have no idea, i was little so early 90's i would guess....and i think it was Stafford, its possible it was another team...actually i am looking at the team history right now and they did not play stafford in teh early 90s, but there was 2 close games in 98 and 99....im pretty sure that the game was when i was much younger though...i guess it wasnt stafford but the game did happen....

i saw a couple already mentioned on here...the 2002 Liberty/Orangfield bi-district game was a pretty good game, also the North Shore/Madison playoff game w/ Vince Young was pretty special...also when I was younger Liberty was playing Stafford I believe, the game was a close one the whole way through and Stafford had finally wrapped the game up and was kneeling it out, anyway when they went to kneel on the last play the DT punched the ball when it was hiked, shot through the QB's legs the RB wasn't paying attention and it went through his legs too, then a Liberty linebacker ran back and got the ball which had traveled into the endzone, touchdown and Liberty won.... All games pale (with respect to unbelievablilty) in comparison to one I saw my freshman year of high school though...1999 Baytown Sterling vs. Katy, in one of the most unbelievable upsets I have ever seen, and probably one of the most unprobable in Texas high school football history, Sterling ended Katy's 35 game regular season win streak on Katy's homecoming game 28-25 when Katy was ranked not only number 1 in the state but top 5 (may have been number 1) in the nation...that was one crazy game....to round the year out Sterling ended up finding a way to miss the playoffs again while Katy's only other loss was the state final game....

Baytown Sterling/Baytown Lee....been one sided for a while now (unfortunately) but thats a game that can sell out Stallworth a lot of years...anytime over 16 thousand people gather to watch a highschool football game something is up...dunno how it will be affected by the new school opening up, if Sterling ever gets good enough to challenge Lee I don't think it will matter though, them 2 schools absolutely hate each other or at least they did when I was at Sterling....

ha, u think the NCAA cares about the players or the game? its all about opening them big football stadiums up so they can get as much $$$$ as possible...if a player or 2 blows his knee out and ruins his career/life in the process who cares? the NCAA made their money on him....seriously, im sure u already see that and im pointing out the obvious but the NCAA is a joke...

all texas big 12 teams do the college classic, but since there are 4 of them and they cant play each other in nonconference they can only go 2 at a time(well kinda true, texas and baylor played a nonconference game this year in october, i think its more of a they dont want to play each other in nonconfrence thing instead of they cant do it especially since they have to beat each other up in conference already, y do it in nonconference too...) anyway, one year baylor/a&m play in it and the next year texas/tech play in it...its been that way for a while now....

me too! CBS made us sweat it out though, wrong making us wait til the very last team announced! gee its been 20 years come on guys! sic'em!

Wow! I'm glad baylor has probably already punched their ticket. we'll see...losing to colorado was about the only way they couldve screwed it up and in typical baylor fashion they did...it now just depends on what other teams do...

what a choke job by Baylor..... :

when no one on this board was on the school board or knows what exactly the school board was looking for then maybe they should chill on their acquisations of racism...calling someone a racist because they didnt hire who YOU thought was the best coach is a childish and shallow thing to do...if DD is as good of a coach and as qualified as yall say then he will get hired elsewhere and Liberty will pay for it in the end, or maybe DD is qualified but the other coach fits the Liberty job better at this time, in which case both will fluorish...only the future will tell...

Looks like they punched their dance ticket in Lubbock today....Big game by true freshman LaceDarius Dunn, 38 points and 9 rebounds, he is gonna be something else the next few years....sic'em!

wow, im shocked they didnt hire a hometown boy...lets see how many seasons he will coach before they quickly pull the trigger and hire one...hopefully he starts off winning cause the way liberty is if he comes out and has a bad year 2 years in a row then so-and-so will get their boy in there... for now im just shocked they didnt pick the hometown guy, guess we will find out if it was a good or bad hire, but it sounds like a pretty decent one to me so far...

eases? did whoever wrote that not watch the game?....they were basically playing football out there, which is also a lot of the reason baylor lost, we suck at football whether its the real thing or on the basketball court....

i wish Sterling would get their act together....Sterling/Lee was one of the better rivalries in the state in the past, even now its still pretty big but nothing like it should be if the Rangers would put a decent team on the field....

maybe he is one of the final 4?

K-State looks lost so far....if the Wildcats lose then they will be in a tie w/ the Bears for 3rd, with Baylor having the tie breaker...whodathunkit?

good win...game against the aggies on wednesday is huge for both teams

Out of the 4 teams tied for 4th in the Big 12 Baylor has the easiest remaining schedule. We already played the hard part of the schedule through and all we have left is @Colorado, Mizzou, A&M, and @Tech....we should find a way to split those if the team is worthy of dancing....If we could somehow find a way to win all 4 then we could actually take the 3-seed from K-State if they go 2-2 or worse (possible since they have Texas, and @Kansas for their next 2 games) that would put us both at 10-6 and Baylor having the tie-breaker, who knows, personally i think we need to win 3 of the 4 to get in for sure....i hope we do it...

she wont be sup long if thats the case...someone would be stupid to de-emphasize football on purpose in texas, great way to get yourself fired....

thats 2 hometown boys and a local guy papa...im telling you it prolly is taking a long time because there are 2 hometown boys to pick from...if it was just one the decision wouldve been made...
