Coop, have you been to MCM before?

About 10 minutes before the game most of the fans will be on their feet waiting to see their team. You can expect the cheering to start the moment one of the players steps out of the field house and comes into view of their home side. And loud, heavy on the loud................

I wonder if Lumberton wants him back. ;D

They might be close to last in yardage. I don't put much faith in defensive yardage stats though. How many points did they allow and how many points did the defense score or give to the offense for an easy score?

Yep, he got us into the playoffs with a coin flip. Butler was the most complete player that I have ever seen. Offense, defense, kick offs, field goals, punts with either foot and while running full speed, great hands, fastest player on the field, from running back to wide out, kick off returns, punt returns.... what did he not do? We have all seen some multi-talented players that play offense and defense but this guy did it all. Did he ever come off of the field?

I'll bet they run out before noon. Like about 8:30AM maybe.........

Time is tick tick ticking away and it is almost Friday................

I believe that they work because I have talked to several people that have used them (not just hearsay) and they all say that they work. I was wondering out spooking the deer though. How close have you gotten to deer while using it? I have been within about 15 feet of deer while bow hunting and I am always worried about scent spooking them.

Raidernation has gotten this one right. It doesn't matter how you get to 5-0, it only matters that you are. I don't see Nederland getting any bonus points for beating teams with a better record. They are still only 5-0.

stangchain, So that long explanation just means that you would keep the same format as we have today but Div 1/large school would have two schools represented and Div 2/small school would have one school. Is that correct? That way you would give a break to the small school by reducing the number of games to the championship by one game. I wouldn't have a problem with that. It is a 50/50 chance which division you end up in anyway, according to which other teams end up in the top three. Nederland has been Div 1 for some years and Div 2 for others.

Hey, titan finally said something that I agree with.

Getting close.

Two different states playing under different rules. LHSALLZONE, PN-G and Nederland are in the same state and play under Texas UIL rules. If you need anymore help, please don't be shy.

I can't make any sense of that plan. So once you get your top two teams, how do you pick the third? Do you theoretically split the district in half by enrollment and whichever of the smaller teams has the best record (no matter what it is) makes the playoffs? What if two of the smaller schools make the playoffs as happened many years with WO-S. Then you could have a six team district split 3/3, big school/small school. So two of the smaller schools get #1 and #2 in district, putting them in Div 1. Does the third small school then get the other spot as the small school rep since the two other small schools went as the big school/Div 1 as you suggested? Otherwise, you would have to pick the better of the big schools and put them down in Div 2/small school.

This is the second thread that I have looked at where LHSALLZONE has hoped for a tie between Nederland and PN-G. NEWSFLASH: There are no more ties in high school football in Texas. Sorry LHSALLZONE but Lumberton (if they win) will have to share first place. If you are confused about any other rules, please post the questions in the forum. We are always glad to help.

LHS must be having flashbacks to days when they had ties in high school football or is typing while asleep. It's okay LHS, sit back, relax and your memory will come back to you or you will wake up, whichever it is.

They are getting a lot of negative feedback but they are going to push ahead to get what the people don't want. Go figure.

I had hoped that Nederland could have played SLC, Lufkin and then Odessa Permian but when Neumann tried to get them, he found that Lumberton and Coach C had beaten him to the punch. ;D

"Make it"? I am assuming that you mean they can compete and go to the playoffs on occasion. They haven't even shown that they can "make it" in 4A yet. Lumberton has however shown that with 1,400 students, they can compete very well with many of the small 3A schools.

Well, it was one or the other so they opted for the other.

If you would have been hunting with me from the mid 70's to the early 80's you might have been burned out. ;D Back in the days of the 10 bird limit, two other guys and I used to bring back 30 birds quite often.

Better chance of an asteroid hitting.

PN-G whining again.. you bet. Already used to it. ;D

The "what if" people. Nederland would have gone once as the district champion even though it was a tie for first place. Nederland would have gone on point spread. I wonder if PN-G would like to have Nederland's current 11 playoff streak or if they would reject it by saying that it didn't come by way of district championships. Heck, I bet that if PN-G gets third place this year, Matt Burnett will turn it down and forfeit since they didn't make it in first place. If it is so easy making the playoffs under the current format, I wonder why so many teams in the district find it hard to make the post season consistently, if at all. ;D
