So here we go, Diboll home opener will be vs the Bridge City Cardinals.  I don’t know much about the Cardinals, any fans willing to provide some input? 

Diboll comes in with high expectations this season after a disappointing first round loss to Gilmer last year.  They dropped down to 3A this season.  They bring back a good core group of players and most notably their D-1 recruit, RB/LB/DE Herbert Gums. Diboll will feature a new QB that appears to have put in some good work this summer.  Diboll will rely on the run much like last season but seems eager to develop a much needed passing game.  They have some new faces at the WR position and oline.  Overall, the ‘Jacks should be solid and should have some depth this season.

No real input here, other than to say that IF Deshazo can get the Slot T working, the Cards will get their yards.  There's teams that run a lot with a feature back, and then there are teams that can hit from four different backs on any play.  It comes down to defensive discipline for Diboll.  If, and that's a big "IF," the Cards are in sync.

I'm excited to see what we're going to be working with this year.

Defending a well run Slot T offense the first game of the season is always tough so I would expect BC to have their moments. Overall though I think Diboll will be too much in this one.

Lara is supposed to be the 2nd coming of the big, bruising FB... he didn't do as much as I'd expected last year.  Ply is one to watch from the wing, I believe.  Young kid, but poised to make some noise.  

 

Like I said, I've kinda lost touch with the program so y'all know about as much as I do about the state of things in Cardinal Country.

got to go with Diboll, Cardinals with a new coach and a heavy running team.  if Newton couldn't run at will on the Jacks last year, I don't see the Cardinals being able to run. The Lumberjacks are gonna be salty. JMO

Didn’t Newton score 40 on Diboll?

You are correct. 40-20 was the score. Newton faired well passing the ball that game. Barlow got his yards but Diboll did defend the run pretty good considering Newton’s pedigree. In all honesty though, the Newton team I saw later in the playoffs would have smashed my Lumberjacks and the team that beat us out of the playoffs.

I sure hope that’s true, the offensive line lost a few to graduation but had some good guys coming in to fill those holes.  It all start with the line!

I agree that in the long run they will be just as good, if not better. Which should translate into more success with the drop in classification. However, they will not be as dominate in early in the season. Lots of turnover in both offensive and defensive lines and a new QB usually means a few weeks to gel.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
