The whole State of Texas has good football players. We have more D1 programs than any other state and very, very good D3 programs. I'll take a Texas high school player from any part of the state any day.

how low can the karma points go?

Bill McCabe · October 11, 2005, 04:24:05 PM

sthrncwby, with you there is probably no limit!

ETBU does recruit some impressive athletes. However, I believe it has little to do with the superiority of East Texas football. Population and location are the two most important factors in there talent base. Not (location because it is in East Texas), but the lack of competition from other D3 schools in that area. Great high school football is played all over the state of TEXAS!

From whom, Trent? Or is that a joke that I obviously missed.

I am just messing with you. Lighten up Francis.

Sorry, Trent. Been a bit punchy the last couple of days.

Josh, your Karma is dropping faster that Southern Cowboy

Is Karma the reason everyone wanted to get credit for their previous posts? Perhaps I should ask for the posts from the last couple of years to be added to my posts from this year. It's probably not enough to make much of a difference but every little bit helps. Go Cowboys....get a Tiger!

Interesting story on principles and school boards in high school football from ESPN this morning. I encourage you to check it out:

Josh, So much for religious freedom of speech. Thanks for the link. Very interesting article.

Josh, I know our high school team still prays. We had prayers over the PA until threatened with a lawsuit. There is now an inspirational message that many fans conclude with a loud AMEN.

Here is an article on LC's Defensive Back Taylor Huffman that was in today's The Town Talk:

I agree with the poster about interesting games to watch. I don't care about all the trash talking, but there are some good games coming up. My son is a starting freshman at SR, and we both agree the quality of football in the ASC could be some of the best in the country. It's a privaledge to play all of these teams. With a little retention, things will be looking up at Alpine next year, with more good football to come.

Bill McCabe · October 12, 2005, 01:34:33 PM

SRDAD, It looks like SRSU is much better this year. I will see them this week against UMHB.

sthrncwby · October 12, 2005, 01:51:33 PM

Anyone associated with UMHB, what's the mood? I remember what was like to be ranked so high. Then someone yanked the rug out from under your feet. It sucks. Can they rebound or will they fall apart?
