I'll be leaving my house in about 40 minutes for the 2 1/2 hour drive to Lovelady!  Come on Oilers!    8)

[quote name="H-D BOBCAT 55" post="1075732" timestamp="1318016193"] Let's not forget who took the first jab. Joharr can pick, but apparently can't take people picking back. [/quote] Whoa there buddy!  I was just stating that H.I. appears to be picking opponents and that they must see ya'll as less of a threat.  Pick away at me, it doesn't bother me!  I know how you are, I've been reading your posts for 4 years now.  One thing you & I have in common 55, is our total dedication to our respective teams.  Keep the rivalry alive!  ;D

[quote name="HubTx" post="1075051" timestamp="1317938369"] I picked Lovelady, but I flipped a coin  ;) [/quote] Well... flip it again until you get West Hardin!!!  ;)

[quote name="HDcats0422" post="1074674" timestamp="1317909952"] I don't see HD beating WH this year, just hope we can keep it close. This is WH's year. But with that being said, my senior year (the '03 season) WH came in undefeated killing everyone they played and we had lost 2 close games on the year, WH came in the favorite but left "The Swamp" with a butt whippin [/quote] That's exactly what I've been telling some of the players I see on a regular basis, to be confident but not cocky!  No matter how good your team is, you can always get beat.  Match ups, game plans or even coaching adjustments throughout the game make a huge difference.  My Oilers won't be taking your Bobcats lightly by any means.

Can't wait until the H-D Bobcats bust that WH bubble. I totally understand why you are so happy and excited, through the years WH have been one of the worst programs in the state. Congrats on winning a few ball games Oilcans!! lol  ;D [/quote] Coming from Mr. Overload himself, where have you been hiding 55?  I would complain even if we had a losing season, about teams cancelling games.  How is that right for any of the players involved for either team?

I hear your guys are good this year, so be proud of them and good luck. [/quote] Ma'am, I wasn't down grading anyones kids.  Taking a shot at H-D 55, GUILTY AS CHARGED! My thought was only to either play or don't play, make up your mind and picking and choosing opponents. Sorry if I offended you Ma'am.

I'm super excited to see the match up, is it Friday yet?!?!?!? 

[quote name="falconfanatic" post="1073747" timestamp="1317779763"] Haha legacy got a first place vote  ;D ;D :D :D. I can't wait to see how johar and some of the Kelly fans respond to that lol. [/quote] I would imagine that it was done just for that reason!  ;D Funny actually, shows me that the pollester who did it either likes to stir the pot or is dumb as a door knob. Either way I'll refrain from comment at this time, as my Oilers have a huge test at Lovelady.  However, if we come out the winners, I do expect a little more love from the pollsters. I'd also make a guess and say either Aggies or Soulja did it, but it doesn't really matter.  ;)

West Hardin may be better than last year but so is Lovelady. 1-5 last year at this time, 5-1 this year. LL by at least 2 scores the Oilers haven't seen this much speed on the field this year. [/quote] Trust me speed is not what will hurt the oiler team they are very fast all over the field from skilled positions to lineman idk if they are as fast as lovelady but trust me speed wont be what hurts them in this game its a big brusing runningback is what will hurt this team they are very small on the D line [/quote] Speed will most for sure be what hurts West Hardin in this one. LL's #28 will be a speed that WH has not seen.  Fearless or not, you can't hit what you can't touch.....he scores 4 times. [/quote] Kountze thought Jon Jon Warren would do that too!  It didn't happen quite like they planned.  We'll come back to this after the game and find out.  I post all scoring plays on here from the West Hardin games as they happen.

[quote name="bh89-2" post="1073334" timestamp="1317748978"] I know where WH is at because my dad QB'd there many many years agao and because I used to love swimming at Honey Island, but where the haties is Lovelady?  Sounds too much like a bug that all the little girls like.

If he's unable to please help him out. [/quote] Thank you for reminding me about that, Joharr! I want to know if Robert was at the game Saturday night!  Otherwise, I feel a proclamation coming on! [/quote] Robert was not at the game Saturday and by looking at his small school rankings this week, I believe it is hopeless. [/quote] Maybe we can trick him into a small school game, just get him in the car and drive!  ;D

We know Robert can't break down the West Hardin at Lovelady game for us.  Even though he is our small school expert, right?  ;D I want to hear about the West Hardin at Lovelady game, do ya'll know anything about them other than record.  Stats or whatever! I know Coach Henry will be ready, but kind of break it down for fans.

[quote name="D WADE" post="1072796" timestamp="1317673628"] WH is a very solid team but Lovelady will be the best team they have played thus far, yes i agree that WH has been playing very average teams but they have been blowing out those average teams. i beleive had WH been playing a schedule with EC and buna on it they would have a great shot at beating the lions. I think  WH loses in a shootout 42- 35 before anyone jump on me no im not saying WH would beat EC or Buna but i believe they would be very close games and i am a ferm believer that you have to play better competition to get better [/quote] Nicely said D Wade, I agree about the better competion.  Oh well, I'm super stoked about this game.  If West Hardin gets a win over Lovelady, then the critics should see what I've been harping on all year. I think it will be a one score game that could go either way.  It's hunting season, so break out your best Safari outfit and lets get some Lions!

Interesting take on it.  Well see after Friday's game.

I'm actually just fine with this 1A poll, I don't mind Lovelady being ahead of West Hardin for right now.  Thanks for posting it AggiesAreWe!

Shut The Front Door!!!!!  >:( Imagine that!  They consider H-D a comparable opponent!  ;)

Hopefully after beating GPNS, PAM will get DCTF's attention on the poll.

[/quote] I have eyes and ears everywhere!!! and btw, it was just two personal foul penalties against West Hardin, not 4. ;) [/quote] Sorry, the 2 pass interfernce calls are not considered personal fouls.  Good catch, thanks!  ;D

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1072291" timestamp="1317603135"] It's very simple. Legacy and West Hardin have one common opponent, Sabine Pass. West Hardin  48 Sabine Pass    6 Legacy          49 Sabine Pass    0 The winner is LEGACY!!!!!! ;D (how in the world did West Hardin even let Sabine Pass score?) ;) ;D [/quote] Easy to explain! Second string defense and 4 personal foul penalties (1 roughing the QB - late hit, 1 face mask & 2 pass interference) set them up on the 1 yard line.  They had to go 1 yd for a TD, against the number 2's.

I totally agree that a team can get better, here's West Hardin from last year: 2010                                                                    2011 Opponent          Score Warren            36-13        W                                Warren              36-7        W Sabine Pass      48-0        W                                Sabine Pass      48-6        W Hardin              28-53        L                                  Hardin              43-0        W Kountze            8-29        L                                  Kountze            26-12      W Evadale            0-27        L                                  Evadale            34-6        W High Island        46-6        W                                  High Island        1-0 (F)    W               3-3 record                                                                6-0 record                    All I want to know is how ya'll can rate Legacy higher than West Hardin.  That's the only answer I've wanted this whole time. I know scrimmages don't mean anything, but they could even move the ball against our defense & our offense ran wild.

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="1072133" timestamp="1317589574"] [quote author=2% Milk link=topic=89147.msg1072092#msg1072092 date=1317587394] Legacy has the weakest schedule iv'e ever seen any team listed ahead of them on my poll would blast them and every school they have played enough said. [/quote] Well just exactly who should Coach Hobbs schedule?  West Brook?  West Orange-Stark? PN-G? Yes, Legacy plays a lot of teams in 1A, the smallest 11 man UIL classification.  But they do belong to TAPPS smallest 11 man classification, Division IV.  So they are not going to schedule games against large schools. There are schools that are higher ranked in your Top 10, including a 2A school that have played the same schools that Legacy has played. [/quote] Ok, how about West Hardin, Evadale or even Hull-Daisetta?  Instead of the 3 weakest 1A teams in our area & Burkville twice.  I understand it's about getting their players games for this year - good for them, but how about stepping up the competion. I know the schedules were made before last season, so now is everyone chance to put quality teams on your list.  Pick up the phone and call.
