    This "warning" by the UIL to tiny Elysian Fields does not surprise me one bit. The UIL operates like the NCAA. When a major big money power university blatantly violates rules, the NCAA grabs some tiny no-name university that had some almost meaningless technical violation and throws the book at them, to prove a point.

    The old saying was "The NCAA was SO INFURIATED at Notre Dame for egregiously breaking recruiting rules, they suspended Southwest Missouri State for two years".    

    I say this because I watched TV highlights from a high profile 6A game in the DFW metroplex, and there appeared to be zero compliance. Even though this was shown on TV statewide, the UIL is stone cold silent. Throw the little guys under the bus...the Big Boys get a pass...

     

    A lot goes into the UIL sending a letter like that and typically its not the first incident...just because something hasn't come out publicly on a Sunday doesn't mean someone wasn't warned etc....Elysian Fields put their notice out publicly...some are warned and the notice isn't ever made public...

  2. Or you could be like Waskom who was supposed to play San Augustine last week...they got rained out...didnt come back Saturday and play and now their game this week is canceled....ironically San Augustine is looking for a game on the 18th...they should have come back and played last Saturday..

  3. Stafford is only selling tickets at the gate if there are any not sold...Huffman will get 650 tickets...most of which have already been purchased...they'll make the rest available online starting tomorrow..

    Stafford will make 750 tickets available...they will make tickets available to each participant starting tomorrow...then if they dont sell out they'll make the tickets available to students of the MSD and faculty..anything not sold will be sold at the gate Saturday until they run out of the allotment...Stafford's coach thought they'd sell through their allotment and it's unlikely any tickets will be available at the gate

    33-34!  I guess it all depends on where one sets the bar as to whether or not this a good record.  The last three years is, again, 0-30.  You coach it , you own it!

    You own it, but anyone doing hiring or with any sense of the landscape of HS football on a statewide level knows some jobs are simply impossible to succeed at....Graham has clearly demonstrated he's capable of leading good teams...as much as we like to put importance on coaches, in the end you've got to have the personnel to compete...he'll have the personnel at United at the 5A level

  5. Graham's record wasn't bad at Burges, very up and down but Burges is basically inner-city El Paso...very few resources to work with and talent can be very up and down....he took Socorro because it was a raise and his son was graduating but that was an impossible situation...
