Iowa State beat Oklahoma State
Baylor beat Oklahoma
USC beat Oregon
Ozen beat Brenham
Vidor beat Montgomery
Nederland beat Houston Stratford
Cal may very well pull it out against Stanford (knock on wood)

I think Satan needs a thick winter coat.

Ned beating Stratford is an upset?

I probably should have clarified that one a little better. I actually didn't have that game originally listed as an upset; I modified the post to add it later. I posted the same thing on Facebook and two points were brought to my attention that convinced me to add it for good measure. First of all, while Nederland had a solid advantage over Houston Stratford going into the game, the game went into double overtime and Ned barely escaped with the win. The surprise there is that Nederland didn't have it in hand early on as I (and I think most people) expected. I guess you could say that, from that perspective, the game's outcome is more surprising than it is upsetting.

Second, Nederland didn't get washed out in the first round of the playoffs for the third year in a row. In that sense, every game Ned wins in the playoffs could be considered an upset. ;) ;D

I said in a post a while ago that Nederland has the defense to go deep. The question is Nederland's offense. I guess the Stratford game just about proved me right. More points were scored in overtime than in regulation.

With that said, I hope Nederland can put it together and get to the Regional Final.

Actually, the times that Nederland was bounced in the first round were the anomaly Bamakid.  For over a decade, Nederland took deep playoff runs, winning first round playoff games for what at that time was one of the states longest active streaks at 11.

I know Ned's had it good with Neumann. Just throwing a little jab back at 'em. ;D

One of the states longest streaks. Now that's stretching it a bit.

You don't know what you're talking about.  Do your homework.

East Chambers has had 17 straight playoff births and still going. Dayton has 16. Now when you get near that then you can start talking.

Okay but i still don't see that being one of the longest streaks in the state of Texas. Now if someone can prove it then i'll believe it.

Thanx coach. I was never arguing that it was true. I was just simply saying i find it hard to believe that its one of the longest streaks in Texas.

There were 26 teams who had made the playoffs the past 11 years... in all of the state of Texas.  The streak of winning 10 straight first round games was ABSOLUTELY one of the longest active streaks at that time.  You count 26 out of all the states football teams in all classifications, then there was a smaller group who had won 10 straight first round games.... and there you go.  I'm sorry it was hard to believe.

    • I agree with both of you. However I think they are focusing on the gun trial to keep our focus off the laptop and international dealings.
    • You've made sense at least twice in one day. Perhaps you should lie down... 😇
    • While we don't always agree on political issues, I couldn't agree more. Both trials were just a circus to keep the division alive and the circus in business. Nothing of any substance got resolved today. Media & Politics. The longer they divide us, the more they benefit.
    • Meh..... this is a mess.  As I've often pointed out, I felt that the prosecutions of Trump in NYC (hush money and business valuation fraud) were a big stretch, unwarranted, and likely an abuse of power.   And I kinda feel like Hunter Biden got screwed here, too.   He's basically in trouble for lying on an application to buy a firearm... he denied that he was actively using drugs when he made the purchase.  He owned the firearm for 11 days, committed no crimes with it, then it was disposed of by a third party.  The only reason he was investigated and prosecuted is because he's Biden's son.    Anybody gloating today is no different than the people who were gloating over Trump's 34 convictions a couple of weeks ago.  We ARE a banana republic at this point.  This division won't stand for long.  We can't keep going down this road of "well, they did that to my guy, so we're going to do this to their guy" way of thinking.  God bless the America... she needs it.  
    • They are getting this trial over with and any other trials that face him in the future so Joe can pardon him before he leaves.
