PIB/EAD - Give me a shout when you know where the first round game will be. 

EAD/PIB

Dont worry about it TEX!  You live and learn from your mistakes.  Sorry about the confusion with the previous stated Del Rio record.  Yall are in a pretty tough 5A district especially with O'Conner playing tough this year.  Are your Rams going to be charging into the 5A State Playoffs?

EAD/PIB

Destination of which first round playoff game? If your talking about the Cowboys, I may not find out until the last minute, we will be preparing to play in Jackrabbit stadium

So Jordan Neal is going to sit out the rest of the season no matter what HSU does in the playoffs? That seems a little selfish to me.

Stephen...pretty selfish for you to write something like that. Jordan wants to play a full season...as would you...or me or anyone...the Cowboys are just fine...plus if Jordan was to take one hit at this moment it would be his last...he just got released recently. All that to say is Jordan Neal is a class act and also a smart person. He has to consider what is also best for him and then his team. He will sit the remainder of the season...without question.

Stephen,

In my opinion, it's not selfish.  Maybe self-preservation but not selfish.  I'm not sure he's even cleared to play yet, only practice.  I guess some players might opt to play a couple of extra games to be a part of the playoffs, but at what expense do you make that decision?  How prepared mentally and physically can you be in a week or two? 

Knowing Jordan, he could probably step right in like nothing happened.  I think it's his health, family and future he needs to consider.

Let me second that opinion of Jordan.  If everything worked out perfect for him right now, I think Jordan would be looking at the postseason before he could play.  Someone told me, and not Jordan, that he still has 2 or 3 weeks before the docs will consider it.  I don't think him choosing to let the shoulder heal and have the rod removed is selfish.  I've seen his Xrays.  This was a real bad break.

Ditto to all that has been said in support of Neal. Plus, the guy has been out of action for weeks. He can't be in the best shape and would have quite a bit of rust to shake off. In my opinion, it is the best decision for Neal and for the team.

Dont anger the small ones, they bite.

Stephen1452, how can you say that a player is selfish for trying to heal himself all the way before he wants to play again.  I talked to him not to long ago and he still has to have a screw taken out in december and then he still has to continue therapy to get back to 100%.  So for you to say he is selfish is just wrong and you obviously don't know what your talking about.

Steve made a mistake go easy on him.
