I had forgotten about these... this is why Leman is so awesome. Well, one of the reasons. I hated reading the news of his passing. He was just one of the many six-man coaches, fans, players who have let me have a peek into their world. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.

Article in Texas Tribute about the increasing number of ghost towns coming to west Texas. Reminded me of this topic link

I AM FREE! Just got an e-mail. It appears that someone was spamming the site about the same kid and mine got lumped in with them by a moderator. The main moderator apologized and reinstated me. I think he saw my posts and realized I am basically a dork. What I found so strange about being...

Still not back on the site. I will add one thing. The ban for more than two years. I am suspended from posting until Nov 10 2026! My favorite part may be that despite being banned with my username, I am still allowed to post anonymously. I can just make up some random name and use it. Color me...

Some of you may find this hysterical, but I was banned from another message board yesterday. I posted a question wondering if anyone knew what happened to a particular student-athlete since I knew she was traveling to California to compete, but never showed in the results and she didn't compete...

We've been replying to each other via private messages, but my message would apply to anyone who is doing a project like this... start local. Many times you need libraries and newspapers which are not digitized for this kind of research. Being in East Texas, he's got a great opportunity to look...

I just got a notification that CH Harvey passed away. He was a huge fan of six-man football and was the founder of the Texas Six-Man Independent Bowl series. During his years in the sport he would call randomly to talk about the series and what he was trying to do for the kids. Sometimes those...

This article was posted at the Chico (CA) Enterprise Record. One of their old writers today published a column on a game from September 19, 1947, in Alexandria, Nebraska. First 3 paragraphs below: There was nothing much different about this Friday night high school football game September 19...

I get these random six-man alerts and today received one where Yardbarker.com discussed the top-25 MLB broadcasters of all-time. Under Kurt Gowdy, it said The legendary Gowdy might have gotten his start calling six-man football in Wyoming, but from 1951-66, he was the man behind the microphone...

My understanding is there are very close ties to the Timpson coaches and administration and TAMU. If you know anything about Bussey's story, he's tight with his community. I would imagine TAMU is a better fit, especially if he's got friends from his school going there. Fit is important. I cannot...

You can blame me all you want, but it's wasted energy....

The Conference is NOT at MSU this year, but at the MPEC, from what I understand. Also, I hear the Keynote Speaker is not to be missed.

The issue with tying it to first/last instructional day is that some schools actually have instruction to the final day. Some larger districts do not allow in-district transfers on the last week of a semester. Also school calendars don't match up across the state. Little things like that. If you...

I am more open to this that I thought, especially after the personal stuff I had to go through this year. Also, this is going to be long and probably rambling. Sorry. The bill would allow for a one-time transfer. After that, you must sit out a year. Why I think this may be OK It is really hard...

Went to the Abbott, McMullen Co game. I think it was 11-all when Run TMc went on an 18-0 run to end the first and start the second. I don't think Abbott had a single offensive rebound all game. Lost by about 22. The Panthers looked tired. Regionals are tough, but at least they aren't like they...
