Classic response right here. "Over hyped" would be Tim Tebow in baseball, Johnny Manziel in anything, and the last 2 George Clooney movies. Having 2 very proud Cardinal fans engaging in some banter on a message board would hardly qualify as being overhyped. Nobody, and I mean nobody, outside of BC even remotely gives the Cards a chance in this game and we have 9 pages on this thread to prove it. WOS is the heaviest of favorites and with good reason. Let those "underdog" fans take up for their team, it's what makes sports great.

Going to take a shot at giving an opinion on this one without sarcasm or "homer" viewpoint so here goes...
 
It cannot be disputed that the premiere football program in this part of the state resides in West Orange, all the numbers prove that point emphatically. Year in and year out they are the benchmark that all others, including larger class schools, are measured against. This particular group has been special for quite sometime and they continue to impress even the toughest skeptics. Besides the fact they are physically talented this group at WOS has been running basically the same overall system since they began playing ball and that fact cannot be overstated. The familiarity they possess with the offense, defense, and coaching style is amazing, it's all they have ever known and very few schools can even attempt to compare with that fact. With that being said it's not difficult to make a case for the Mustangs running the table this season and easily handling the Cardinals on Friday night. Only problem with that statement is that this is a high school game and anything can happen. I witnessed a BC vs WOS game in the early 90's where BC came out amped up, scored on the opening drive and thought "this might be the year we win!" and then watched WOS reel of 55 unanswered points. All the opening score did was "kick a sleeping dog and made him mad". On that note I know many BC fans cringed when they saw some of the social media stuff that got started last week and with good reason. Most would have rather not been so public about the comments aimed at WOS and preferred that talk stay in the locker room, no reason to "poke the bear" so to speak when the element of surprise may have been an advantage. Either way what's done is done. 
 
There are 2 potential scenarios that could take place....
 
1. WOS dominates from start to finish like most are predicting. The speed advantage and experience in big games goes without saying, WOS is loaded with playmakers and a fantastic leader/QB along with a potentially historic defense. All signs point to this happening.
 
2.BC figures out a way to move the chains and keep the clock running which in turn keeps the potent WOS offense off of the field. Many on this board have made comments about one dimensional offenses not doing well against WOS and that's a true statement for the most part. I may be wrong but it seems like in the past several seasons Orangefield has been able to hang around with WOS in a few games doing exactly what BC hopes to do. If BC manages to somehow control the clock for a while and can get a big play from either the defense or special teams this game could be closer than many predict. Will that happen, we won't know until Friday night. BC does have a few things going for them and won't be showing up empty handed. Up front they have some size and experience which is a plus as long as they can play 4 quarters. BC does have a few guys that can run with almost anybody on the field and they are capable of scoring at any time. BC will have to limit the 3 and outs and turnovers to have a legitimate shot of keeping WOS anywhere close but it can be done. 
 
I personally look forward to the game and hope it lives up to the hype. One would think WOS would like to play a game where they at least get challenged and need to play their starters for more than 2 or 3 quarters, the blowouts don't help them in their quest for another title. Hopefully everybody plays well, comes out injury free, and both teams get better as they pursue the playoffs.
 
Good luck to both teams!

All the opening score did was "kick a sleeping dog and made him mad". On that note I know many BC fans cringed when they saw some of the social media stuff that got started last week and with good reason. Most would have rather not been so public about the comments aimed at WOS and preferred that talk stay in the locker room, no reason to "poke the bear" so to speak when the element of surprise may have been an advantage. Either way what's done is done. 
 
There are 2 potential scenarios that could take place....
 
1. WOS dominates from start to finish like most are predicting. The speed advantage and experience in big games goes without saying, WOS is loaded with playmakers and a fantastic leader/QB along with a potentially historic defense. All signs point to this happening.
 
2.BC figures out a way to move the chains and keep the clock running which in turn keeps the potent WOS offense off of the field. Many on this board have made comments about one dimensional offenses not doing well against WOS and that's a true statement for the most part. I may be wrong but it seems like in the past several seasons Orangefield has been able to hang around with WOS in a few games doing exactly what BC hopes to do. If BC manages to somehow control the clock for a while and can get a big play from either the defense or special teams this game could be closer than many predict. Will that happen, we won't know until Friday night. BC does have a few things going for them and won't be showing up empty handed. Up front they have some size and experience which is a plus as long as they can play 4 quarters. BC does have a few guys that can run with almost anybody on the field and they are capable of scoring at any time. BC will have to limit the 3 and outs and turnovers to have a legitimate shot of keeping WOS anywhere close but it can be done. 
 
I personally look forward to the game and hope it lives up to the hype. One would think WOS would like to play a game where they at least get challenged and need to play their starters for more than 2 or 3 quarters, the blowouts don't help them in their quest for another title. Hopefully everybody plays well, comes out injury free, and both teams get better as they pursue the playoffs.
 
Good luck to both teams!

Okay, I'll take a shot at this one. These are 2 really well coached clubs that have some recent history between them in the playoffs. Robinson is a program that many folks here in east Texas don't really follow or know much about until it comes to the playoffs and that's when everyone finds out just how good they are. BC usually gets a look at them early each year during the pre-district tourney season and this year was no exception as Robinson defeated BC 4-3 in a thriller. Robinson is exceptionally deep on the hill and they have some guys who can really swing it as well. BC will have their work cut out for them in a 3 game series. BC's pitching staff will need to be in top form and the defense will need to play lights out because you can't give a team as good as Robinson extra outs. If BC can work an early lead and execute the small ball they will have a shot. BC has shown a great ability to battle back against some steep odds and this series would certainly qualify as that so I wouldn't count them out. This should be another classic match up just like the last 2 times these teams have met in the playoffs.

That's a shame it could get out of hand like that. Never let it be said AdminBabeRuth is not a stand up guy or a voice of reason on this site.

On this thread and across the district. The parity across the district this year will make the title race some kind of interesting!

Good game tonite, great playoff atmosphere as well. Coach Landry and the Mustangs got it done with the opportunities that were presented to them, no denying that. Several really nice defensive plays turned in by WOS as well at very critical points. BC as a team didn't really show up to play and that's on them, the errors both on the field and on the base paths were not typical but that's part of the game. Lots of baseball left to play, every game matters. 
 
Congrats to Coach Landry and the Stangs on a nice win!
