I think publicly the coaching staff has moved on, the grievance and game still being in the news is all DISD politics. The loss will absolutely be used as motivation with the team; I would not put anything past him or the coaches when it comes to what needs to be said regarding motivational tactics behind closed doors.

I do!

I watched the interview with Grimes and Todd did say he didn't agree with the calls, (shocking a head coach not agreeing with close calls going against his team) and he said he didn't agree with the official that lives in Groves being on the crew...but if I recall he also said that was on him that he didn't research the crew thoroughly I don't recall him using the term rigged or robbed but its been several weeks since I watched the interview too

What team that loses in the state game won't be trying to avenge their loss? Motivation 101 lots of teams who suffer a tough playoff loss do it...SOC is no different Where did Todd say they were robbed? Maybe he said it and I missed it while in Canada?

I'm interested in what the definition of a questionable enrollee is

No I dont think so...JMO

DISD filed the complaint not SOC, I can assure you the SOC coaches have moved on

There's zero reason why the girls sports shouldn't lift...if there's just one weight facility there needs to be some cooperation and scheduling but for the good of all sports and athletes it needs to happen and if it's not happening then a poor job is being done by all involved IMO

Statewide updates [Hidden Content]

I understand politics and all that entails and in certain instances in high school athletics it rears its ugly head. I've helped coaches find officials for games including state title games and I can assure you politics are the last thing on those guys minds. You feel quite strongly that politics are involved here and I disagree and that disagreement is based on personal experience. You aren't changing my mind and I'm not changing yours...much like a political debate on the internet

When it comes to a state championship game? Absolutely!! The only thing on those guys minds is winning if you think those guys are going to risk winning a state title to make someone at TASO happy then I'm not sure you know these coaches.

The big question will be which non-DFW district goes into District 8....

Alamodome can handle it better than NRG IMO...locker rooms are still an issue at NRG for multiple games

Absolutely not...if that was the case he would have been picked for a game this year too right? There was a Fort Worth crew that worked a game this year and it definitely wasn't Bill's crew

Gunter-Tidehaven had Austin refs and Bellville-Gilmer had Dallas officials

What politics would make Coach Joseph and Coach Todd to both agree to a Fort Worth crew led by Bill Theodore for their 2022 game? I know Coach Todd pretty well and he doesnt strike me as the kind of guy who plays politics in the least..and I would think the same applies to Coach Joseph if he's like his Dad

No..they were selected by the coaches

Houston officials worked DeSoto-Summer Creek, PNG-SOC and Aledo-Smithson Valley...San Antonio did Duncanville-North Shore

Tough but fair! Lol

Hopefully you get those questions answered!

You are entitled to your opinion. Much like the coaches at SOC are entitled to run their program as they see fit, the results are the results. And the results from this year's game had nothing to do with the gloves or being distracted...PNG just beat SOC I think what's happened at SOC and the type of kids they've put out have made a difference for the positive. IMO they've done far more good in their community than any percieved slights by wearing the opposing teams colors.

Considering they've been doing it a while now and they've won two state titles and played for another my guess is they'll be fine

Generally speaking yes it's not done on purpose to give that competitive advantage it's more for clout on Instagram in hype videos etc

A lot of it keeps the UIL from being in the red...you think the marching band, one act play and academic contests make money? Absolutely not lol

It's not done to hide penalties, it's called "disrespect spat" where you wear the other teams colors..its not uncommon to see...first time I saw SOC do it was in 2019 vs Kimball they wore red.....Kimball was in white jerseys that day so it clearly wasn't done for a competitive advantage then
