This is a Dallas based magizine and always has a political biased slant for their favorite team !

The Dogs need to pray it doesn't rain ! Crosby plays good in the rain . >:(

[quote name="rollinac" post="704365" timestamp="1257971405"] Any word on who the home team is? [/quote] The only thing I know is that Vidor will be going home for good !

[quote name="PURPLE 4EVER" post="704047" timestamp="1257942626"] If I were Vidor... I would make sure there punter is well warmed up before the game... [/quote] Nows that funny ! ;)

[quote name="VHS89" post="703730" timestamp="1257895606"] Concerning Daytons linebackers, I just spoke with a buddy of mine who lives in Dayton and he was saying that there has been tremendous movement of players at the inside linebacker position I assume that the ex running back is one of the current starters and that the other is an offensive lineman that has been moved there . Now he wasn't certain but he thought that they had only been playing at these positions for the last 2-3 games. Is this true if so that is not much experience to think that you can stop a running attack like Vidor has. I bet that the coach has a couple of things that these boys haven't ever seen before at least on the defensive side of the ball. I still get back to the same question who have you beaten?? [/quote] I might ask you the same question !

[quote name="bigdog" post="703454" timestamp="1257872005"] Wow, you had one stomping, shall I go back and find the ones we have given you over the years? [/quote] Unless your from Vidor don't bother!

I have seen so many people bashing Vidor on this thread. These boys have worked hard to get to the playoffs. I think the deserve a little more respect than what some are giving them. I know some may not like Vidor and that is ok, that is their choice, but please dont come here to be negative. This is a predictions thread not a bashing thread. Good luck Pirates and good luck to all our area teams~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~               I went back and reviewed previous threads and fail to see any bonafide Vidor bashing ! I see alot of "my team is better than your team" back and forth stuff going on. Vidor had one post that told Dayton to "stick it " that might be bashing? I didn't see anybody from Dayton complain about it though.  Don't think anyone has anything in particular against the town or the people heck I even have friends that live there.  This is the playoffs and all this stuff is just for fun ! We can take what we dish out so bring it on Vidor and you  better bring  your"A" game because the Bronco's are ready for another deep run this year ----

[quote name="the_dude_abides" post="703217" timestamp="1257830358"] El Campo is a primarily a running team also.  They average about 5 attempts per game.  This portion of the bracket shapes up well for a team that can stop the run. [/quote] I wonder what team fits that description ?

[quote name="Pirates73" post="703105" timestamp="1257822741"] ???Again no respect, I hope we bet the H___ out of Dayton Saturday.  You people need to grow up and give a town a break, every town has faults and yours is not the exception.  Stick IT. ;D [/quote]  Your over reacting bad boy this is the playoffs and were not in your district we don't know your team cause you don't make deep runs in the playoffs very often that garners alot of respect. To be fair I have heard that Vidor has a very good team this year and beating you will be no easy task, so good luck and may the best team win ! ~~~ Oh! one more thing we can't give you any respect because we gave it all to Rodney Dangerfield ! :-[

[quote name="vidor96pirates" post="702625" timestamp="1257794334"] No way man, Nederland and Vidor always support each other wearing our colors! [/quote] No cross dressing allowed - please! :D

[quote name="westend1" post="702652" timestamp="1257795816"] That's what i've been trying to tell you.  Those last 14 years mean nothing.  Why do you Dayton fans keep bringing up the past?   You guys are 2 seeds THIS year.            ??? :P ;) [/quote] No! actually we are D11 number one seed in 19A, but then again who cares because we will make another deep run in the playoffs like we always do in spite of mindless smack from the cheap seats!

[quote name="vidor96pirates" post="702600" timestamp="1257792751"] Support each other getting ousted in the first round! Nice!...lol [/quote]You know your jealous !

Dayton by 3 TD's [/quote]    Being BH is playing Friday and Dayton is playing Saturday,I think it would be great if Dayton went to Baytown and supported our neighbors to the south and BH went and supported Dayton on Sat.    All of Dayton who does go to the BH game Friday i hope you wear your purple shirts.and If BH comes to the Dayton game wear your Blue shirts. [/quote] Sounds like a plan !

You will see alot of Dayton purple in your corner BH ~~~~ Good luck ! ~~~~~~~~~~

[/quote] Excuse me, I assume this is nothing but a flame post trying to get a rise. Easy path with PNG, Angleton, Yates , El Campo, Brenham, etc. And to the poster who replies it MIGHT be a little over simplification, you are the master of understatement. I am amazed no one else has jumped this clown. Hope all the Dayton fans and players are thinking like that!! [/quote]  Were not all rookies here bud so forgive me if I didn't take the bait !

But of course Lake Travis waits on the other side of D1, the two headed monster! [/quote I would not put much stock in the poll created by THS poll. Biggest joke for a poll there is. Marshall number forty yea right. [/quote] I pick Marshall to be in the Finals !

[quote name="GigemDoc" post="698709" timestamp="1257516807"] Tivy is not a metroplex team... more like centex and it took a amazing strip by AJ Dugat and a last second FG for Dayton to beat them in a very physical ballgame.  Also, I think that if you look in recent years the DFW metroplex gets a lot of hype because they have a lot of talented teams packed very close.  Examples including Southlake Carroll, Allen, Trinity, Birdville, Highland Park, Ennis, Denison, Denton Guyer and Ryan.  Those schools plus the Dallas and FW isd schools (see Carter, Skyline, and Dunbar) tend to produce a ton of D1 guys with speed.  I would say most of your BIG name talent down here comes from a bit closer to the bigger city Katy, Cypress-Spring , FB, Aldine, Alief ect.  to boot in recent years alot of state champs have come out of those places I just named.  Bottom line lager population density = bigger talent pool.  Throw in East-Tex like Lufkin, Tyler and I bet you I could find a pretty good crop of college talent.  Don't believe me checkout UT, A&M, & even OU and OSU's roster. [/quote] No one is arguing the fact that D-FW teams are good and so should they be with their dense population. That's why the UIL created D1&D11 classifications and even then theres sometimes as much as 1000 student  difference between top and bottom of some D1&d11 schools if UIL would close that gap you would see a lot more parity in the playoffs. As of now the bigger schools hold the unfair advantage,but that's  where coaching and conditioning come into play some programs are far superior to others no matter what the talent pool is. Hence a little country school like Dayton  could more than hang with all the big Metro schools every year in the p layoffs. Example: Tivy beat C. Steele( big DFW metro school) last year and Steele was the only team that was competitive against Lake Travis in 4a D1 playoffs. All the pollsters picked Tivy to win over Dayton, but they were wrong !  Dayton has two D-1 true freshmen starting for major university's this year and host of other freshmen for smaller colleges-- talent is always delegated to the big boy schools.

[/quote] no.... they are better. the talent up there is 3 times better! [/quote] That's what Tivy said before they ran into Dayton last year ! The best team Dayton faced in the playoffs was the first round Livingston SETX team,the rest were moot except Sulphur Springs .

The only team that could even come close to stepping on the same field with LK Travis would be ............. I"ll get back with ya on that one ! ???

  OK- everyone put on the rubber boots because it looks like were getting knee deep into the stanky stuff ! :P

[quote name="rollinac" post="695687" timestamp="1257263328"] 20 something pages and counting on a "possible;" ok probable game that is two weeks off.....who even needs a prediction thread.  Its almost like the playoffs have already started yet I have no idea who Dayton will be playing in 2 weeks with all the playoff chaos over there in 20. [/quote] Right ! until Dayton finds out I'm forced to point my smack gun in the direction of PNG because their such fun targets not as good as Sulpur Springs but close.

[quote name="akifan94" post="695661" timestamp="1257261965"] Just some fun stats... In the 4 games against the (3) 19-4A playoff teams and PN-G.....the BH's QB has thrown for less than 50% accuracy and a whopping 5 TD's and 10 interceptions. They are also 0-4 in those games. None of their 5 wins have came against a team with a winning record. Their defense gave up on average over 26 points per game to those four winning teams. The five wins have come against four teams with a combined record of 10-29 and one win against a first year JV team. PN-G has already defeated (4) 4A playoff qualifiers including BH and 19-4A champ Crosby. They have a statewide top ten statistical defense. They have the second leading offense in 20-4A including the leagues leading rusher. But, the BH faithful seem to think they are the team to beat. They have no basis to stand on except for "because I say so". I have not decided whether it is comical or sad to read their delusional comments. The bright side is come 11/14 all this chatter will come to an end. Enjoy this one playoff game. If you move to 20-4A next year it will probably be two years before you get another chance. [/quote] The only basis they have is that they lost to PNG by one point and frankly their not afraid of the big bad wolf !
