#2 Terry Aason left the game in the 2nd qtr. and did not return. He got caught by a borderline clip/block on an Elgin punt return. No flag on the play. Some fans thought it should have been called, but it looked clean to me. It looked like they were looking at his ribs or hip area on the sideline but I haven't heard any other news.

Hey Rollinac, how's the tailgate/pep rally shaping up? I hear half the towns gonna be there!! Any updates?

If I were a bettin man, I'd bet the Bronco defense comes ready to play Friday night. I wouldn't want to be that Elgin RB.

I say all the tailgaters get there about 7:00am and start the briskets so they'll be ready when I get there! ;D ;D ;D Hey Rollinac, I just emailed purple4ever to get him on board. Once he's in......the party's on!!!

Friendswood is landlocked. They will not get any bigger. I was thinking the same thing. I guess if all the wives started having twins....Hmmmm ??? Their enrollment number is like 1950 this year.

He aint no AJ or Cameron, but he's definitely not the norm. Here's D1 commit Derrick Falke in his soph. year. He was hurt all last year but now he' back.

Hey Rollinac, I got some info from the school. Check your messages.

Hmmm.....BYOA and then walk across state hwy 146? Watch your step there ROLLINAC! But I'll admit it does sound fun if you could pull it off. I called the principle (waiting on a call back). Maybe we could combine the two (pep-rally & tailgate party) minus the alcohol of course. But keep on planning your thing in case the school doesn't get on board. I'll post when I hear back from her. My daughter is a stepper and I'll see if they can stop by and throw down one of their pep-rally routines.

Amen on that 72. I was sitting right above that group of idiots and wanted to cover my face in embarrasment. There's always a few in the crowd now aint there.

I'm gonna have to be out of the loop on this one. I'm working Friday and I'll be lucky to make the second half. But, I will give the principle a call (again) and suggest it. Maybe if every Bronco fan that reads this also calls they will get the hint. Call not email.

Yea we were there at WWJH that last week of the reg. season also. We put our little set-up out but no one else showed. Felt a little silly actually. So we closed up around 5. We wrote it off to being deer season and Friday. Hey Knightrider I'm with ya man!!! I think they should move the normal school pep-rally to the WWJH parking lot for the fans. Have you ever been to a Bronco pep-rally? They get that gym-a-rockin! That lady that mc's it (can't remember her name) she does a great job. I've supported these broncos for a long time as well, along with hundreds if not thousands of other fans. It would really be nice to see the school show a little appreciation for the fans...like a Pep-Rally/Tailgate Party. I mean, how many chances do you get at a 2nd round home game? I had envisioned a big party in that parking lot because it is next to the stadium. The Bronco band, players, cheerleaders, STEPPERS (cause my daughters one) and so forth. And if the Booster club is so worried about losing a few bucks off Turkey legs, then leave the food out! But it would be nice to see someone saying hey, thanks Bronco fans for showing up in droves they way you do.

Yea I can see the consistant numbers, but each team is different. For instance, imo last years team in the last few weeks of the season, had a little more offensive precision. This years team still gets it done...just a little differently. And although the 08 broncos defense has improved steadily, last years defense was just plain nasty >. I aint downin this team or that team. Those kids (and the coaches) work hard and it shows. Hey.....it's 4 days till gametime. I just wanted something to talk about till then!! ;D

Yea me too. 2nd round home game! Where is the booster club?

Differences? Similarities? Whadaya think? C'mon Bronco posters.....let's hear it.

I've always wondered about high school scouting as far as, how much of it they do. I know they scout the local district games pretty hard, but in the playoffs with all the scenarios, I would think their resources would be taxed quite a bit. Again though, I know absolutely nothing about coaching. I just act like one on Saturday mornings. ;D

Ohhhh...okay. Yea I can see how that would be helpful. My non-coaching ignorance shows up again!

Well I've exhausted every resource I know of to try and research this Elgin team. Google, You-tube, UIL, newspapers, etc. I can find nothing that makes me think Elgin can win this football game. All I could find out is that the "G" in Elgin is pronounced (ga... as in "again") Makes me wonder how the coaches prepare for a game like this. Maybe they have some inside info. But your right lsutiger, we shouldn't underestimate them or any other team. I personally think it's kind of exciting facing a team we don't know much about. They could roll into Big D and knock our socks off!!! But I seriously doubt it. The stampede will continue........Dayton by 4 TD's ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Not sure about those stats.....here try these (these look more realistic) [Hidden Content]=

On the field...free safety no doubt off the field..... the guy that holds the cheerlearders up ;D (college college!)

Nah, Im just wearin my old bronco t-shirt. That Bronco spread is gonna heat things up just fine!! [move]GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/move]

My hearing aint so good any more........somebody tell them Broncos to hit a little harder so even I can hear it!! I'm comin early and stayin late. Can't wait till kickoff!!!! [move]Go Broncos!!![/move]

I'm not sure if your a player or a student or band member or whatever, and it really doesn't matter. I'm a Dayton fan who was at the game last night and I have to tell you, support doesn't get much better than it was last night. That's the first Lumberton game I've attended this year, so not sure how the reg. season was, but last night I thought the Lumberton fans were awesome. Pretty classy the way everyone stayed till the last tick of the clock. You should be proud.

Nice win Cougars. Congrats Raiders on a good season. Crosby did a good job against the run, their LB's stepped up. It looked like Lumberton was having some decent success with the pass in the first half, not sure why they got away from it in the second. Anyway, nice game to both teams. I want to say this though. That was the best crowd (L-train) I have seen at a hs game in a long time. I'm a die hard Bronco fan (who was on the Raider's side btw) and I thought the crowd was great. Y'all had a lot longer drive, and 3x as many people show. There was no booing or crying at the refs, just good clean noise. My hats off to the Lumberton community. That my friends, is how you support your local high school team. Good luck next year!

Billy Roy Bell 1978 - 1981 Dayton High School He was something special. The teams were not that special (got knocked out early by a real good Bellville team, two years in a row i think) but Billy was fun to watch. He then played at Lamar and had a short stint in the NFL with Houston and Kansas City.

I saw a map on the internet a couple of years ago(can't remember where), it had a red dot in the area of the country that all current NFL players were from. The triangle area had the most red dots. Actually the I-10 corridor from Houston to Florida was littered with dots. But as far as HS teams go, I would have to say DFW also.
