Back at the beginning of the glorious 80s the Jasper Bulldogs of 1980 was "that" team.

Gave up only 63 points all season. Tied Huntsville in pre District 15-15. Next to last District game tied Beaumont Hebert 10-10 (with Hebert declared the winner via penetrations).  Only one team went to playoffs back then.

LOL.   Hebert was beat by Huntsville in playoffs, who went on to beat Paris in state title game.

I prefer it when only 2 teams went. I was ok with 3 with the district champ receiving a bye. Never been fond of 4 going to playoffs but it is what it is.

My main reason for not liking 4 is when 4 teams go out of a 4 or 5 team district. I think you should have at minimum 6 or more teams in a district if you are going to send 4. Or at least make the 4-5 team districts play each other twice for district play.

Also, I think all district champs in all classifications should host 1st round games. A little incentive to win a district title.

Actually asked the UIL about that part and they said right now the majority of 4A and below schools do not want to host in Rd 1

Maybe most of them would like to make a trip to a big time stadium an hour or so away. Personally I'd love a home playoff game. But then again our stadium is plenty big enough. Imagine a team like Belleville, with a crowd of fans traveling to a small stadium like Orangefield for Rd 1. For the bigger classifications it's not as much a problem.

Personally, I became a HUGE fan of 3 teams making playoffs when it started in 2004.  

In 2004 we lost to Kirbyville, then lost to Silsbee in last District game of the year. We were 3rd in District.

We lost to Gilmer 49-47 in State Title Game. 😢

Every now and then, during the early days of 4 teams getting in, there were districts with only 4 teams so there was that.......

I was in the 10th when the UIL allowed 2 teams.  West Brook would like to have a word with you 1 teamers.  Also, we finished 2nd during our 1st semi final run in '83

Thought 3 teams started making the playoffs in the 90s.........at least from the article I read recently.. 

 

And I still say the Jasper QB wasn't out of bounds (IYKYK)....that game is still on YouTube btw.

1998 was when all classifications sent 3 teams.

I stand corrected on the 3 teams advancing.  During that time us making playoffs was not an issue, so I got mixed up on that....APPARENTLY!   LOL.

what game are you referring to with QB out of bounds? Silsbee? 

Gilbert fumbled the ball at the goal line last play of game.

No, the game I put in bold, Gilmer game. Patton #2 was in at QB if I remember correctly.

mmmmm....Trust me I was there. This is the first I have EVER heard of controversy of Gilbert being out of bounds.

The main sketchy call was the refs saying Jordan Patton did  not cross the goal line on the 2 pt attempt to tie the game at that point.

I like the three! In 2004, the one time Jasper made it to the State Finals, they finished third in the district.

      Republicans don't deserve...

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      Hold them accountable? Like here in Texas where we have, by any definition, the most conservative Speaker that we’ve ever had. He pushed through an abortion ban and border security measures, reduced school taxes, etc… and the people who put him in office are firing him for not being MAGA enough.    Every third commercial on TV is Trump (or somebody who supports Trump) calling Phelan a RINO and supporting an impotent replacement for the most powerful person in the House.    It’s 100% MAGA, and it’s 12000% stupid.    “oh, he didn’t do those things by himself” says everyone who doesn’t understand parliamentary procedure.

      Me personally I respect posters like @bullets13 @CardinalBacker they vote for a guy and can call out others in the party or the direction a party can be headed.... others on here fall "lockstep" with whatever happens and defend by all means is the mantra it seems... no need to call out names, it's probably you if your mad at this statement 🤣

      I recall prior to midterms the R's and the "red wave" would get America "back on track" etc.... they would end this and stop Biden from that blah blah blah, so what's the problem? It looks like a circus show from both sides and whoever can sit or stand with a straight face and defend it is a 🤡! Desantis would've been a slam dunk for the R's and he possibly would've got my vote... now they pick a guy who lost the popular vote twice lol (yeah I know that means nothing in grand scheme of things).. point being is the dude is highly unlikeable (I also know this doesn't matter) 👈🏾 just getting ahead of the deflectors... personally I hope the clown gets in there so ppl can see how ultra right the clown is trying to push America for... IF he wins in November you can bet he will be on a rampage for 4 years getting lil if anything done, will most likely spend his term for the same thing some of yall complain about daily, going after his opponents... but hey the D's do it right? So yeah it's cool if we do it SMH We're supposed to vote on policies etc while at the same time the person you vote for that made promises to change or fix this and that complains about his predecessor being the issue! It's all a joke What have R's done that's good for America since midterms?  What have D's done? And please leave your feelings out of this and be truthful if possible!
