  1. Prime deserved some of the vitriol he received here for posturing and such, but certainly not to the level that was posted. In fact, most of the haters here have simply stopped posting, since their 'worst coach ever' and 'won't win two games', etc, narratives has been disproven. Also, I don't see his players running amuck like they have at Georgia. The worst that happened was a player Tweeted that CU had a bad locker room culture and that player failed at Florida, too. Yet. somehow, I don't see a tenth of the comments in the Kirby Smart thread as we saw about here about thug culture, etc, etc. There is definitely a double standard for Prime.
  2. Deion says all players are playing in their shitty Alamo Bowl game. That's actually pretty impressive. Worst coach ever? Hardly.
  3. It's Westlake's 8th straight year in the semifinals, which is an terrific accomplishment. I'll have to be happy with that this year, along with getting to talk crap w/ my Lake Travis friends and clients one more year. Would have loved to have Westlake play Vandegrift in the quarter-finals. I think we would have beaten them, but alas, the Football Gods did not smile upon us this year.
  4. This is an even more insane statement: "Everything that can be invented has been invented": Said by Charles H Duell, Commissioner of US Office of Patents, in 1899
  5. On Texas Sports Unfiltered today, they said Maalik was out the minute Darian visited the campus, but who really knows.
  6. That ESPN story must be wrong. @closetojumping said it was about money.
  7. Nah. North Shore is on another level. They don't have to be that creative to beat us. They just wear you down and then overpower and outrun you in the second half. Should be a great game between them and Duncanville.
  8. True. He's probably played it as well as he could have given his skillset.
  9. I'm sure you're right. My point is the Duke pipeline and connections can supercharge your career, as my younger daughter can testify. Actually, his plan to grab as much money as possible DOES make sense, since his pro career looks limited at best.
  10. Yeah, I still have this issue. Figured it would be worth something.
  11. Thanks for having the courage to share your feelings. Your voice matters!
  12. Totally agree w you
  13. This is as bad as week one when someone in the playoff committee leaked that Aggy had the Best Loss.
  14. Scenes from a bonfire:
  15. We don't know the real story, but since he probably won't make the NFL, I don't understand how this makes sense for him. Better to stay at Duke and make those connections and opportunities that are unmatched. That school network is unreal. More power to him, though.
  16. I don't shit on our current players. However, I will drop a critical comment occasionally about Jontay Cook.
  17. Our 'experts' here can break down various plays to a frame-by-frame analysis and talk about how the player should have lifted his left leg and moved two feet the left. It's very entertaining, actually.
  18. Agreed. 4,000-6,000 (Plano high schools) is crazy. 7,000+ students at Allen HS is insanity, although they have a separate campus for freshman.
  19. Westlake does have a huge number of players in their system and we have supporting families w money and can focus on off-season strength programs, private coaching etc, but there is a visible size discrepancy between our players and theirs especially with the lines. We just can't match their physicality just as so many schools can't match ours. For the last two years, they have worn us down in the second half.
  20. So Westlake, with 2700 students, plays North Shore (4,600 students) or if we somehow win, maybe Duncanville (4,500). Obviously, Westlake has financial resources that neither school can match, but money can only get you so far when it comes to actual numbers. The system isn't working for us.
  21. Actually, a portion of this post is playwright Arthur Miller-generated.
  22. When you write ugly crap like this it hurts more than just Cade. It hurts the people behind him, who have sacrificed so much to get him to here he is today. I don't know Cade or his family because I'm not his father, (whom I hear is a really, really, great guy that everyone admires) but I know how much they have gone through to get him where he is. Word on the street is his father could have been a GREAT QB, but no one believed in him. And so he vowed that his son would get the opportunities that were unfairly denied to him. And he stood by Cade during the ugly seasons at Clemson, when the neighbors wouldn't ask for autographs anymore or even laugh when we drove past. It was embarrassing and painful. NOW, THEY'RE NOT LAUGHING ANYMORE, ARE THEY????!!!! Look, the only thing you got in this world is what you can sell. And the funny thing is that you're a salesman, and you don't know that. After all the highways, and the trains, and the appointments, and the years, you end up worth more dead than alive. Eighty thousand people! Touchdown! Touchdown! Right between the goal posts!
