    Reasons Westlake could win:

    Defense holds SLC to 20-27 points

    Offense lights up SLC defense 

    Reasons SLC could win:

    Teams are essentially playing against themselves, so Westlake offense won’t surprise SLC
    (The two Dodges have been sharing all their secrets for several seasons and Riley knows how Todd thinks)

    Ewers goes wild

    I hate this game. SLC could pull the upset. Strangely, I liked our chances better last week against North Shore. Teams like NS think that because they are superior to Westlake athletically, that they will just win w their speed and size advantage. SLC won’t have that misconception. They will try to out-think Westlake and they have the brains to do it. I’ll be at the game so I’ll share some pics tomorrow. I have my usual bad feeling about the game, lol. 
     

    Thanks, everyone, for your amazing insights, especially @Beau Vine and @Helobious. I learn more on this thread than all the other ones put together.

    The other stuff in that IT article about the etiquette coach and Herman trying to change definitely rings true. Last summer  I noticed Herman went on that little PR tour, like that extended interview with Will Cain that got into some personal stuff. And access he gave to some of the Texas media guys. I got the sense he was trying to come off as more sociable and relatable and less of an aloof prick. 

    LOL remember the stupid Herman press conference following Flip-Off gate? He wore a jacket and tie and gave his stupid explanation that he was telling a story, not flipping off the LHN camera. Nothing says you’re trying to be look professional than dressing up in a really obvious way. I wonder if CDC had chewed his ass out.

    How much would you pay to have heard his talk w CDC following the Eyes of Texas debacle? (which I still contend was a troll job by Sam)

    That "statement" was such a painfully obvious Kiss Of Death that I weep that people lack more than the 3 or 4 neurons required to process it for what it was. It was worse than having said nothing, in that it all but confirmed he was going out. You don't release such a statement unless you're firing the guy in the first place; one so, shall we say, ham-fistedly carefully worded as that one was all the evidence we needed that Herman was done.

    Following that statement, Erin Hogan on 104.9 the Horn was repeatedly saying on air that all it meant was that Herman was safe until the end of the season, and not a day after. As it has been stated here, it may have been just to keep recruits “aligned” through the first National Signing Day. The only people I ever saw who claimed it meant Herman was the coach thru the 2021 season were the YouTube posters. 

  4. We'll be at the game tomorrow night, cheering for the Chaps. I'm excited to see the inside of the Death Star, as we've never been there.

    Funny thinking back to the Chaps/Cedar Park scrimmage last September. Didn't know that I would be watching two state finals teams. Go TImberwolves!!

    Thanks for your comment. I have lots of contacts currently on campus and they have told me that the players hated him. We were hearing these rumors even before this season. I wasn't in the locker room but I trust my sources. Since you referenced the Alamo Bowl, isn't it worth noting how many team captains thought so much of supporting Tom that they refused to even PLAY in the game? Now it appears that he wasn't terribly popular with CDC, the boosters, or anyone else.

    Regardless, I'm glad that you are continuing this conversation because I think it is an important one. 

    Thanks again.

    I misspelled the name of that perennial powerhouse whose name alone strikes fear in high school coaches across America, Katy Tompkins.

    Impressive stats no doubt. Worth noting however that Steele had a putrid offense this year. Held under 26 points in 9 out of 13 games this year. Shutting them out isn’t saying much. I don’t know what it’ll take but them being down like they’ve been is bad for SA. 
     

    I’m pulling for SLC in the title game since they’ll be huge underdogs, no disrespect to the Chaps. The trailer trash look is pretty funny as well so that nets them some points. 

    Dang it. I was hoping that you wouldn't continue to reveal that we've only beaten crummy teams. As you said before, if only we had beaten those unstoppable powerhouses, Katy Tompkins and Atascocita. Maybe the season could have been a success.

    The reasons we fired Herman included player development. So what is there to debate?

    This. And to think, lots of Texas fans criticized the players who correctly sat out the Alamobowel.

    Here are some stats for the 2020 Westlake Chaps.

    Of course, we could still lose to Southlake Carroll and their esteemed QB, (whom I am grateful to for contributing to Turtle's demise,) but this is still one of our best teams ever.

    Shutouts: 6

    Will eat crow. Please provide recipe and rub my face in it 

    It'a all good and I apologize. Just excited seeing the team we love do so well. My wife is an Eanes admin and works w Coach Dodge and we know what a class act he is.

    Yes? How is that not still a true statement? I picked NS to win by 7 points and they lost by 3 points. Not exactly wildly off base.

    Absolutely, that is a legit statement and I always like your takes. I just so proud of our team and I told you guys that we had a really special team this year and not to be surprised if we beat beat North Shore. 

    It's been such a disconnect watching Westlake on Fridays and the Horns on Saturdays and wondering why our freaking HS team is so much better coached than a college team. That's what really helped me to focus my hate onTom Herman. 

  11. Hey, @Helobious I also really like your posts, but are you still gonna stand by this gem from this week, lol?

    NS has blown out 5 teams this year (Manvel, Atascocita, Dawson, Tompkins, Ridge Point) that would crush anyone Westlake has played. CE King & Shadow Creek were no slouches either.

    North Shore wins by 21

    I've been quietly waiting to comment on your uninformed post for a week now.

    Actually, I usually really like your posts in general, but I am gloating. Let's see if you come on and eat crow. 

    Our Chaps are going to STATE baby!!!! Never count out Todd Dodge!!!!
