Well, I wouldn't personally have put Stephenville in the Top 5, but to each his own. As far as Permain's qualifications, they have six state titles, 11 state finals appearances, two national "titles" and a win-loss record second only to (cough, cough) West Orange-Stark, and a novel, two movies (Friday Night Lights and Varsity Blues) and a television series based on its tradition. Which TV show is based on Stephenville?

If anyone has to question Permian, all that needs to be said is MOJO.  People think the immediate era is all there is but back 20 or so years when you thought Texas football you thought Permian.

I remember my mom sitting me in front of the TV I think it was 1989 when they made state, all i heard on the TV was "MOJO". I knew then it was something about that school's tradition with football.

You cant talk about Texas high school football tradition without including the Brownwood Lions or Plano Wildcats.  Both schools have won 7 state championships, most in Texas.  SLC might now have 7 as well.

Others of note:

Permian, Stephenville, LaMarque, Austin Westlake, Temple, Celina, Houston Yates, PNG, Schulenburg, Waco, Abilene, Wichita Falls, Cuero, Refugio, Ennis, Sealy, Dangerfield, Converse Judson, WOS, Pilot Point.

What about Newton they have a really good tradition and are steadily building that resume up.... People tend to forget about these guys for some reason I don't know why..... I don't know if you guys no this but if Newton makes the playoffs this coming up season that would be 22 straight playoffs apperances now that is impressive.. With a few state titles in there also.. Many deep playoff run's in there two so you guys don't forget about Barbay and his boys down there in Newton.

Stephenville Has won 4 state titles. How many (cough cough) has WOS won ?

I wasn't touting us, I was touting Permian. I am, however, proud of our winning percentage. We've won two titles and played for four in just 29 years of existence, by the way. Stephenville has been around for 87 years. So Stephenville has a title for every 22 years, while WO-S has one for every 15 years. Numbers are cool.

Again, I wouldn't try to put us in as the "best tradition," but we do have the top winning percentage, which is awesome. Stephenville's is under 60 percent. Thanks.

The question is best tradition not most state titles or highest winning percentage. It is tradition, which may include winning but is not the only thing. There is several other  things that bring tradition. I will also be a homer here and say PNG is at least top 5 in state. Plano is there also.

That was the question that I posed at the beginning of this thread. Is the basis of the most tradition determined by wins. Anyone that saw the state title game between PN-G and Stephenville saw Stephenville bring about 8,000 people to the game and saw PN-G bring about 24,000.

I think fan support, winning tradition, school spirit by students, school traditions like Permian's MOJO or PN-G's totem pole make tradition.

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • 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.
