Did the Gordon and Baird district have the exact same teams after re-districting? If they didn't they will definitely re-draw for playing dates. They might re-draw anyway.

I heard a story about Carbon and their grassburrs. Upon viewing the field pregame, the Sidney players noticed quite a few armadillo holes filled with caliche. This was in the mid-fifties. Sidney had a large, tough RB, after he was tackled the first and only time on the nice green grass filled...

Eric Clapton....You know when the Beatles found a guitar piece that was a little beyond their ability to play in the recording studio, they would bring in Eric Clapton to play it for them on the recording.

You are talking about the number 30 in high school not able to compete consistently with the number 80 in high school and you are right. We have two divisions now because of that problem. I am against three divisions. Think of the travel involved with districts within 3 divisions. Will you...

UIL school or private school?

ncaa are expanding their playoff system to 12 teams next year. 6 conference champions and 6 at large.

"Kiss of death" happens again!!

Priddy shows to have 46 on your list.

Guys, I hate to admit this, but when the Wesp first started posting I was referring to the poster in my head as her and she. Now I have to admit that I can't even narrow the identity by 50%. I just don't know!

Someone from Bryson can correct me on exactly when, but they had a drop-kicker that did all of their extra point kicking for at least two years in a row. This was about six years or so ago. The games that I saw that year he made about 75-80% of his kicks.

When you play Jonesboro, there is not anything easy about it!

Mike, I am going to the pick-em site, but all I can find is last weeks standings and this weeks distribution. What am I missing to get to the actual picking page?

Taking two teams from a district into the playoffs started about 1982 or there abouts. Basketball takes four to the playoffs now. The UIL gets a cut from the gate of every playoff game, so you could be right about money having a lot to do with more playoff games.

Carbon closed their doors around 1990. My poor memory is saying they were the Wolverines, but i really could be wrong. Just a side note, the career ladder for teachers pretty much did them in. They put every teacher in the school on the ladder with the pay raise to go with it. After a couple...
