  1. After two plus decades of being a serious fan, last night was a reality check for me. When I saw the score come up 27-21 in the 4th, I knew we weren't winning by 5 unless we finally got a freebie from someone or actually made a huge play in the 4th to win a close game. Neither happened and I was already fast asleep. Losing close games all the time is a sign of a failing program. Next year the excuse will be we are too young and inexperienced. Only appropriate we go 4 and out to end the game. Two district wins.
  2. thanks for the insight. I don't really follow the team anymore, certainly not to any extent. Reminds me of Leonard Hewitt - the team had plenty of wr's after his soph year, so they move him to DB - all state two years in a row! That's called coaching! To my knowledge - LH never graduated HS, had a full ride at Tech and never showed up. Coaches can only do so much, but they turned him into a monster DB and rode him to two state semi's - played his junior year in the PO's with a torn ACL and still had two picks. You coach up your gamers - period, end of story.
  3. A perfect summary of why this team is out of the playoffs again. Coach O was smart enough to realize he needed to coach up the most gifted kids he had - that was his ticket to the mid PO's rounds year in and year out. Sure, some kids got lost in the mix - but not many. Now, we're just another Nacogdoches.
  4. This is just really unbelievable on the one hand and very believable on the other because it has happened so often. It shows just how far Lufkin deteriorates as the year wears on. We are out-coached almost every game of the year, and its less noticeable in Weeks 0-3 bc the more detail-oriented coaches need 2-4 weeks before they get in fully sync. So, this super awesome freshman group from two years ago had no QB? That part confuses me. The OC is basically saying we are so weak at qb I'm not even going to try and gameplan something beyond 8th grade level stuff. I think the coaches have gotten really good at excuse-making so they can round up their retirements to 30 years.
  5. I saw the qb taking a sip of coffee on one of his throws - we never touched him. We rush 3 and receivers are still open by 5 yards. We can't tackle. Other than that, the D looked only slightly terrible.
  6. How about Ja'Lynn Polk with a huge game on a huge stage today! Huskies remain undefeated - beating the Ducks. Ja'Lynn Polk REC YDS AVG TD LONG 6 118 19.7 1 35
  7. Man, oh, man - I just watched some highlights from last night. My jaw dropped - not at the play on the field, but the fact that ABE was a Ghost Town! How many were there last night - 2,500? Yeah - I know the deep pockets fans have kept their season tickets for 40 years and will keep on until they pass - but - Fans are speaking - Loud and Clear! The product and program stink - there is ZERO upward trajectory with this program. Pathetic.
  8. We play Lancaster there? Played them tough last year, but they are the better team/program.
  9. Well said. Apparently Aledo led that game 63-0 in the 2nd quarter - according to the Dave Campbell site - which is where I get my scores. If true, that's hard to do - scoring 9 TD's in less than 2 quarters. I'm almost curious to go read the stats somewhere. I think we had 50+ at half time against Oak Ridge way back when.
  10. Epic Homecoming game - getting routed by Forney - who may be the second best team in district. Who cares - Lufkin is an absolute nobody program right now - probably not a top 50 program at the 5a level - it wasnt that long ago we were a top 10 program at 6a. Unbelievable. The 45 yards of PF's - still continuing 5 weeks into the season says it all. I don't think we got 3 total under Coach O. Let everyone who has gotten one run 15 windsprints a day every day during the Bye week.
  11. Scores for the past three years against LV have been a combined 140+ to 12. Lobos were best in class last year - this year? Will they win district? Probably - but I don't see a deep run with this group. Regardless - we are a mediocre program that is not the same zip code as LV of late. If we are not in the same district next alignment - let's drop the Lobos for Kilgore, or someone else where we don't embarrass ourselves.
  12. 21-0 2nd qtr. Really not even a key game for LV anymore. The record since 2012 or so is woefully lopsided.
  13. My vote would be to re-name the stadium after Coach Outlaw, but I don't see that happening. I don't know what the legal ramifications are, if any, but it's rare to see a stadium re-named. I grew up in Abilene - and I have no idea who Pete Shotwell was, nor do 95% of the people that go there - but that's it's name. At the least, the field should be named after Coach, but would love to see a new precedence of re-naming the stadium.
