I saw the Strawn/Mullin game. Mullin looks to be a very decent team, but they also are at the other teams throat, their own team, and even the coaching staff. I believe it was 44 from Mullin that was ejected from the game.

If Mullin can keep tempers under control, and play together as a team, I dont see why they cant end up in 2nd with a shot at the playoffs.

Well, well, well...what a lively thread this has become!

After reading the previous posts, I must put in my two-cents...

D2 Dist 15 champs will be Richland. Few teams have a prayer against them, and certainly none in this district. I agree with Texman301, both Mullin and Cherokee have a great shot at that second playoff berth. Mullin has got to come together - keeping their tempers, egos, and attitudes in check - and they will have a good chance against Cherokee and then the Dist 16 champs (maybe Buckholts?) Do your research and you'll fin that the bulk of this year's team (and 1/2 of the coaching staff) lacks experience. Even the upperclassmen have at most 1 full season under their belt. That being said, their 6-2 record is impressive even when considering the caliber of teams thay have beaten. While they may appear more fundamentally sound this year than last, and even more now than in week 0, I am not buying their legitimacy until that "fundamental soundness" shows up against teams like Strawn, Throckmorton, or Richland (who all have or will most likely defeat them by a large margin.) The real problem in Mullin (if you really know anything about them then you'll agree) is not so much the coaching staff (past or present), their emphasis on fundamentals, or even the level of athleticism, as it is the elite class of "local experts" (as Texman301 so eloquently stated) and generally ignorant "football gurus" whose most significant contribution to school and community is their finely honed skills as tailgate football coaches. Apparently, the only pre-requisite to be a HS football coach is a foul mouth and the ability to shout "go hit somebody!"

I, along with hundreds of spectators witnessed this fact at the PC-Mullin Bi-District game in 2009!

My favorite is "HIT SOMBODEEEEE!", and my next favorite is "JUST DO SOMETHIN'!"
