  1. As a Westlake homer, I'm happy for Klubnik that he chose Clemson. I think he could do really well there, but he will sure have some great competition at QB. 

    If Turtle Tom was still here, I would not have wanted him to stay home, but now I am disappointed that he passed on Texas.  

    No way you can compare Murphy to Klubnik at this point, and I think it's insane to have given him a 5-star rating. He has yet to throw a TD pass in HS! His camp highlights are beyond useless for evaluation purposes but perhaps his spring season will show us what he can do. I wonder what kind of training he is getting, as his mechanics look very raw.  

    I think we have potentially two great QB's already on campus and the competition should be fun.

    Sorry for the ramblings.

    I defy ANYONE to find anything "racist" in those Seuss books. Personally, I think we're going nuts as a culture. This won't stop anytime soon and will NOT end well.

    Do your homework, then post. The Chinese man running down the street eating rice from a bowl with chopsticks in What I Saw on Mulberry Street is pretty racist. And since that is the only depiction of a person of Chinese heritage in the entire book, it looks pretty bad.

    Based on how different regions vote, I made assumptions about their views and beliefs. The first few times I visited the northeast US, I was knocked back by what people said in bars with a couple drinks in them. Not little jabbing between friends of different races that I grew up with, but full blown racism. Then I spent time in Europe, then the Middle East. LOL I was at a point where I questioned if Texas was the least racist place in the world overall in terms of the vast majority of people respecting and (trying to) understand other races and cultures within the state (the 5% of mostly east Texans, not withstanding).

    I lived in the northeast and have traveled quite a bit and seen those same racist issues across the world. However, I feel like the events of this last year has expanded my understanding of how deep the racist issues in our country are. If anything, they seem to be getting worse. While I like the song, it's become too divisive, which is ridiculous, since we have much bigger racial injustice issues worth tackling. Still, if it helps brings people together, I'm all for losing the song. Time to move on.

    Last point: anyone notice that the most extreme cancel culture morons and the "change our racist traditions over my dead body" types are really more alike than they are different? 

    Hook 'em!

    I think the bloody nose shows that it had already been escalated. 

    Thanks, I missed that the fight had already taken place on some level. Those OU kid's lawyers will probably reach out to the other people in the bathroom and "encourage" them to share a very favorable narrative oƒ what "actually" happened.

    Thanks, and I apologize for the tone of my previous comment. However, there's absolutely no comparison at all for playing time between Murphy and Card. Card played virtually all of a Texas 6A state championship vs Allen as a sophomore, he started ALL of his junior and much of his senior year at QB. In both his junior and senior years, he played in the Texas 6A State semi-final games. That is a HUGE amount of experience at the highest level of high school football in the nation. Murphy has very little game experience and is it correct that he has not thrown a TD yet in HS? I hope they both turn out amazing, but I'm not talking about greatness here, just comparing experience.

    Wasn't Card a WR too and having shown some speed and quickness that added to his profile as an athlete? As a sophomore no less.

    That is correct. As a sophomore to get playing time and to utilize his speed, he primarily played WR. This makes his insertion at QB in the state championship game after the first series against Allen all the more impressive, as he brought LT almost all the way back from a huge deficit. The next year, he started as QB.

    I remember there being plenty of discussion here with people worrying about Card not having much playing time at QB and that he mostly played WR until that QB that went to tOSU graduated.   I’m sure he had quite a few series as a back up and even a game or two as you stated.  My point was that people have the same concerns about Murphy who also has limited tape until now at QB.

    You should be excited about Murphy.  Some guys are born with an arm that can effortlessly throw it 74 yards.  Dude also has an absolute cannon and throws darts with a flick of his wrist.

     

    He has the raw tools to mold into a 1st round pick.  We have a QB coach that has put plenty of QBs in the NFL and he also coached QBs in the NFL.  I’d rather Sark work with a guy with an extremely high ceiling and see where it takes us.  Especially considering we can take the gamble because we probably have a very high floor currently with Hudson Card... who by the way had no tape playing QB until his senior year. 
     

     

    Fair enough on Maliik, but the most important part of a QB, by far, is his brain. I hope we can develop him. 

    Your take on Hudson Card is so hopelessly incorrect to the point where it makes me worry about what else you've been posting. I've been watching him play QB since he was a sophomore. That year, he played backup QB but ended up playing all but one series at QB in the state championship vs Allen and performed great. He then started and played QB his entire junior year (when my Chaps kicked his butt-just saying) and ended up losing to North Shore in the state semi-final. He missed a portion of his senior year, before coming back for the state semi-finals against North Shore and bringing LT back big-time in the second half. So there is plenty of "tape" on Hudson Card before his senior year.

    That's part of what was underpinning it for me-- I immediately thought of the '72 Olympics basketball gold medal game, but the US had won the gold medal every other Olympiad prior to that and won it again in '76, and in '84, and every time since '92, so you know... not the same as a franchise getting to within a strike of its first World Series title and blowing a two-run lead with two strikes TWICE in one game.   

    I mean, fuck. 

    Actually, your statement about the US winning every Olympics since ‘92 is incorrect. We sent the scrubs to the 2004 Olympics in Athens and lost in the semifinals to Argentina and settled for the bronze. I can’t recall why the NBA stars didn’t attend that year.

    Is there any film of Card under duress in HS? I don't initially trust any QB that hasn't had the dogs on his ass.

    I said the same thing when Squints was the GPOY. I never saw a defender near him on his HS tape.

    Moving the pocket is great when there's a pocket. What happens when there is no pocket?

    Our Chaps put a lot of pressure on him in 2017 & 2018. He is very fast and elusive, but he was sacked repeatably and threw INTs in both those games, which were losses for LT. He also was under a tremendous amount of pressure during their two playoff losses to North Shore. In the first game, he never was able to get going, as the game was a total beat-down. In the second, after falling into a really deep hole, he did an outstanding job of bringing the team back. His greatest performance by far was in a state championship loss his freshman or sophomore year vs Allen, in which he had to come into the game after the starter went down and after a rough start, managed to bring LT all the way back and nearly pull off an amazing victory. His scrambling ability vs North Shore and Allen kept LT in the games.

    APOLOGY NOTE: I created this visual in the early period of this movement, which is why I included “you” in the phrase. This was before the proper FCB moniker was established. Naming greatness takes time, as early, flawed iterations, like “The Silver Beatles” or “The Facebook” indicate.

    Additionally, we may never know which one of you first used the phrase and actually began this greatness. Like all the great social movements, this one seems to have happened organically.* It would be interesting to find the very first usage of the phrase on this site. Anyone care to speculate who first used it or to take credit for it? 

    *I can’t tell you how many times over the years our stupid marketing presentations to clients included MAKE A VIRAL VIDEO. Guess no one explained to us how “viral” works. Haha!

    Ewers is very talented.  He also plays in a system where all the athletes are on the same page from about the 4th grade on.....we'll see.  

    SLC at the lower levels (late elementary/intermediate and middle schools) now doesn't have that same level of commitment and the teams and skill players reflect as much.

    That may have shit all to do with Ewers

    We watched Ewers play in person against our Chaps in the state championship. Ewers led SLC to 34 points against us. We had previously given up 71 points, with North Shore accounting for 21 of those. Mostly, it was just him dropping dimes against our secondary. We eventually got enough pressure on him to throw 2 INTs and start misfiring. He is the best HS QB I’ve seen in person.

    I was beginning to get worried that we hadn't had a report about how difficult the workouts have been. Thank God we finally have a real s&c guy to whip our team into shape. Jesus, what a fucking cliche. Worth every penny. 

    Right up there with a new coach’s solemn pronouncement that, “we will have an aggressive, attacking defense.”

    They were pretty evenly matched. I think Westlake happened to be the better team, but keep in mind the better team doesn’t always win. 
     

    NS had some young talent but is losing some key players like Davis and Banks. So Westlake should roll rather easily to a 3rd title no? They have that QB & Greathouse back, not sure if they’re losing anyone of consequence. 

    I think Westlake can potentially win a third straight title, as they will probably end up in D2 next season. Austin High lost their QB to Texas and will return to suckiness, which will push Westlake to D2. The Chaps lose some key players on the line, but there will be other good lineman who can step up. The receivers will be a position of strength, but both starting RB's are gone. I am hoping that a new RB mysteriously "shows up" in the spring. 

    If Westlake goes D2, I give them a good chance of winning next year. If they end up D1, then all bets are off, as Dallas has some strong programs emerging.

    Favored by a point?  Is there really a betting line and place to wager on high school games?  I wasn't aware of that, but cool if true.

    North Shore was the two time defending 6A D1 champs, and very few outside of Eanes ISD gave Westlake a shot (source: I spend a lot of time on the Texas 6A football forum, which frankly makes me dumber every time I go there, but still find it somewhat entertaining).  

    I thought NS had a terrible game plan, and didn't play to their strengths.  Running Shadrach out of the backfield time after time wasn't going to work...I think with a better game plan NS wins by 14 (sorry, just my humble opinion).  I actively cheered for Westlake, and was very impressed by them.  I'm not a hater.  I live in HP, so didn't really have a dog in the hunt.

    I appreciate that you cheered for Westlake, and I support North Shore, as well. I think they have a great coach, great players and they've dominated while keeping it clean. (I"m looking at you, Katy) 

    However, I don't see how you can think North Shore beats Westlake by 14 with a better game plan. Westlake was a better team this year than North Shore, period. How do we know this? Westlake and North Shore played and Westlake beat them! What better metric could exist to confirm that Westlake was better in 2020?  We beat them in their city, in the state semi-final where they highly motivated, in front of mostly their fans. When you have a 2-time state champion, senior QB and a supreme talent like senior Shadrach Banks, you put the ball in their hands, and they were successful enough to score 21 points which is a really good against the best HS defense in Texas, but, dude, Westlake was a better team.

    GoFundMe for the little girl who was critically injured. She still hasn’t woken up since the crash.

    Before you share a GoFraudMe link, it's best to confirm that it is actually legit. Scammers post these in the hundreds every time a disaster or human interest story pop up. I'm not saying that this is or isn't, but due to a lack of content on it, I have my doubts.
