Woodville's defense is atrocious! 

Gave up 90 plus in the first 3 games already. That's happened 2 other times in the last 10 years. 2019 we missed the playoffs and 2023 we gave most of them up to Franklin and Newton which I believe were both top 10. If we make the playoffs we're definitely not going very far unless someone figures something out 

43/34 final.

How are the Trojans looking?  Couldn't make it to this one because of work.

They look decent. Qb looks good 

21/20 at half. It could all be so simple smh. At least the offense looks like it's steadily improving though.

Woodville playing weaker teams.

Woodville doesn't look that strong so far. Thank goodness the schedule isn't super tough. Hopefully we win the next 4 and we'll just hope for the best when we meet up with Newton

I will be watching this game very closely. I expect it to be a good one and also wondering how Coldspring is going to compare to Orangefield. They put up a heck of a fight last year and with the big boys upfront that may be a problem for Orangefield. I can see them matching up better than others in the district. 

Don't think CS will be much comp for OF honestly but next week vs WV might be competitive.

I have no doubt that the evidence of your approval shown in this post will be blown up, printed, and hung in the coaches' office.

Yea the whole community approves when we win. Sure they already know that

Including Woodville.

You have good reason to believe that based on what happened last week.

Babin the real deal.  

That's old news. People who seen him his freshman year on jv already knew that. Others let the haters on these forums fool them

Praise the Lord.  With every resource available to literally every single coaching staff in existence, it's blatantly obvious that the WV coaching staff ditched all of those and finally reached out to the setxsports fan forum for some actual advice.  Anyone that says that the very conversations had on this site along with reverting back to the ultra success of youth football weren't completely responsible for this win, then they are a liar.

I even have it on good authority that there was actually a peewee coach in the press box with headsets.. giving the entire staff personnel suggestions.

Thank goodness.  One can only hope that the WV head coach will continue to lean heavily on the words spoken in this very website... as anyone with a brain knows that this is the gospel in terms of football knowledge.

They made good adjustments. Not the adjustments I thought they should have made but definitely better than last week. Also AP isn't good as OF

Prior Coach would not allow a run through.(9 years he did not allow a run through).  He denied multiple requests from the team to let them have one and sponsors willing to buy one. (Woodville lost his first game with the run through and he decided the run through was bad luck). No one has stepped up to sponsor one yet for the new coach.
Setxfan can provide the fact check for us. 

Not a big deal either way really. But if that's what the players want then why not. I'm not the one sponsoring

That's the only thing we got going for us.  I truly hope we will get out of Shepherd tomorrow with no injuries.  They're way better than last season and we barely beat them on the last series of the game.  I expect them to compete for the last playoff spot in their district.

Shepherd has a good DLine for sure. That might be a bad match up for yall. But next week's match up might be interesting 

Decent game for the eagles tonight. Still not the exact group of guys I would prefer on the defensive front but they were definitely positioned better than last week for the most part. Still struggled to stop the run especially first half but turned up the intensity and took over on both sides of the ball at the beginning of the second half. Let up a little by the end of the third but we're able to finish semi strong. Babin looked great. Connection between him and Tolar looks improved and even better than last year. Also seen a very nice TD grab from Shird. I had forgotten how good that kid was a couple years ago on jv. Harris at safety with Kelly and Mitchell at CB looked like a good group in the secondary second half. Really like the energy Mitchell plays with. Be interesting to see how next week turns out. Coldsprings has a tough, hard running QB, a big OLine from what I hear, and a decent coach in my opinion. We'll see how the defense holds up against them.

But I bet with that one mistake, he still knows more than you about truck driving.

That's an assumption. He obviously didn't know not to attempt a u-turn on a busy highway so how would you know for sure that he's more knowledgeable than anyone about anything? There's loop holes to get licenses and things

That first part of your sentence says so.

I am not a plumber or an electrician, so therefore I don't know more than a licensed plumber or electrician. 

Just saw a licensed cdl driver cause traffic jam trying to do a illegal u-turn the other day

Trust me, the current head coach knows more football than you.

BTW, where do you coach currently?

I don't coach and he should but what makes you so so sure he does?

Hopefully WV can hire a coach that knows as much as you someday. 

Pretty sure there's plenty good coaches that know a lot more than me but I'm not sure that's the case for the current coach based on his carreer record and more importantly what he's done with this team so far

One reference is all that it takes.  Truthfully, the amount of things that happen over a one year, five year, ten year.. period for athletes is so vast that any single reference to something that happened several years ago is beyond idiotic.  Rate of maturation, natural size/speed/strength changes, efforts in offseason, competition changes, transfers (both in and out), etc..  Now.  Apply every single one of those to the other teams they currently play also.  Also.. consider the fact that in youth sports 10 year olds play against other 10 year olds from neighboring towns (usually).  As opposed to being in high school where 14-18 year olds play against other 14-18 year olds from schools that they likely didn't see in peewee.

The number of reasons why it's irrelevant is honestly too many to list.  That's why the reference, even if it was only one reference, was a mistake to mention.

And since I have a tendency to dig in to things like this.. you're now officially the peewee guy.  The guy that said success should follow the success of a group of children that were likely led by volunteer coaches who may or may not have been reliving glory days through kids in their community.  Possibly their own sons.. that were forced into a position that dad/coach wanted to play in high school because it's what he played in peewee back when they "were winning".. but the high school coaches came in and played everyone out of position.  Causing them to lose.. unlike the glory days of peewee football.

So.  Sorry.. not sorry.  

I won my fantasy league so I should be the general manager.
They won in peewee so they should win now.

Same level of thinking.

Thanks a lot for your uninformed input 👍

I know that when any reference at all eludes to a varsity head coach not making sound strategic decisions because of something that took place when that coach's players were in youth sports, then there is zero reason to take that person seriously regarding anything to do with sports.

It's true that I have a habit of defending a coaching staff... but the little league reference pushes it over the top with me.

The irony of telling someone they have no clue what they're talking about after the implication of varsity success needing to mimic something seen in peewee.  Truly hilarious. 

I made one reference about youth sports pointing out how it's carried on throughout high school up until this point. I never indicated my opinion was only based on youth sports but that's just where you wanted to go with it. At the end of the day you already said you haven't seen this year's team and I'd bet you haven't seen much of previous teams so carry on

Just now, oldschool2 said:

There's actually no need to have seen them.  I'm the the Vice President of the LLFAA (Little League Football Association of America) and we've gotten several applications from peewee coaches of this particular group over the years to be invited to the National Youth Football GALA held in Arlington, Texas every year.  The winners each year actually get to practice for a week against the Cowboys.  So, yeah..  no need to see them play.  These kids are next level famous.

In fact, there's currently a petition circulating to remove the current staff for playing said student athletes out of position (per their peewee positions).  It's only gone through 9 states as of now.  Once we get 100,000 signatures from each of the 50 states, we'll get those clowns on the coaching staff out of there before the team loses to any more schools that are bigger than they are.

Coincidently, we searching for short term replacements for after the changes have been made.  Are you interested?

Long story short. You have no clue what your talking about and your just sticking to your usual talking points. That's cool but I had to make sure cause the way your talking I thought you may actually know something.

I'll be on the sidelines for this one.

Got to see for myself all these great players riding the bench at Woodville.

I don't know how you'd be able to tell if guys on the sidelines are great players but good luck with that. I didn't see Davion Hill on the field or the sideline last game by the way. Seen some other players playing completely out of position. Looked like the coaching staff was just doing random stuff

1 hour ago, oldschool2 said:

Not sure why'd there would be any great players riding the bench.  The way I hear it.. these kids have been winning since peewee.

Have you seen this year's team at all?

To be honest, those two passes should have been intercepted. The first one was under thrown & our CB tripped & fell grabbing his jersey for a penalty but the receiver made a heck of a catch. pretty much the exact thing for TD 2. With out those plays it would have been 35 - 0. 

Nice perspective from a OF fan. You guys looked good.

Were you this upset when Coach Robinson lost to Orangefield (2021 21-7 or 2019 31-0)? We only got the ball twice in the second half of the 2021 game (once for only one play, we threw a pick)

2021 Coach Rob had a young team mostly sophmores if I remember correctly. But he put the best players on the field and they fought hard and held a good OF team with a monster back to 21. 

2019 was coach Rob's worse year with us. That was his last year in that one dimensional offense and he had kind of lost engagement from the players a little. That was the last time we allowed more than 21 from OF and we ended up missing the playoffs that year.

5 new starters on the OLine, but delusional Woodville fans blame the new coach for losing to a talented Orangefield team? I hope y'all lose every game. 😂

Wouldn't surprise me if we did. He's evidently gonna stay stuck on stupid about the defensive front. OLine was expected to struggle. Defensive front is a easy fix. Learn who the dogs are and let em off the leash
