  1. THSCA would all vote themselves a $50k raise too which some would argue would be just right for some HC/AD’s, but that doesn’t mean its feasible. I’d guess most of the THSCA voting bloc that would favor it at Jerryworld until it crumbles are all within a two to three hour drive and add that to some some struck coaches who only dream about it from the 956 and other areas, that’s where you get your overwhelming support. Put it to you this way. If the Alamodome was something special and the games were played there multiple years, the North Texas coaches and their boses in the Superintendents would’ve had this on a rotational schedule already. The UIL listens to them more than they do us poor hicks south of San Antonio and that is a fact. Go look at the different committees on both the athletic and non athletic sides and the further south you go, the less representation is found. I’d like to see them move baseball down here for a tourney or two and you’d see how quick the DFW metro coaches would scream.
  2. They should spit it into two weekends if the aim is to keep a TV package going. Along with that rotate it to different sites. Have six man through 3A at one site and 4A through 6A at another. Get rid of the Wednesday and Thursday nonsense too.
  3. The smaller schools 4A and below with a few exceptions never pack them and part of that is because they start playing their games on Wednesday. It’s tough for some of those fans to get time off to make that long drive if you are from West Texas or south of Austin. It’s an expense too. When I went back in 2016, it was easily a $500 trip for four. It’s probably $800 now when you throw in hotel, fuel, meals, tickets, parking. It adds up!
  4. It looked like it too. PNG travels well and it helped them even more having their game on Saturday helped push their numbers higher. The fans that get the shaft are the lower classifications which many of the schools in those classes that make it don’t sit within a couple of hours from Jerryworld. Those fan bases in some cases don’t have the resources to pay for $30 parking on top of all the other costs to get there if they can get there. Small town folks just can’t take off work on a whim too on short notice This whole concept needs to be reevaluated. UIL is supposed to provide as neutral as possible venues for their championships and not fleece the very taxpayers who fund the organization.
  5. You think Jerry could afford some blackout curtains to block that west sun.
  6. It’s like this guy being sent to the Arctic.
  7. I think some of us yelled the same thing at Sark a few times ….. just sayin. It works
  8. I don’t feel sorry for any DFW area team that doesn’t win. Home field advantage forever thanks the UIL pricks attached to Jerryworld and Bally sports.
  9. Piss poor clock management by SOC.
  10. Meh. Lake Travis, Austin Westlake and Southlake didn’t suddenly go into has been status when they moved up. In fact I think LT played for a 6A title not soon after moving up, maybe the very following season?
  11. aggy will be paying a $500 million dollar buy out for the lucky dude who coached aggy to their 22nd consecutive 7-5 season.
  12. I know ….lmao. But this isn’t the first time a Houston chapter Refs crew called an Aledo title game and the calls went one way. And they always seem to get to call them….
  13. I think they shut them down in 2013. They got several chances to save themselves too
  14. Lmao. These Refs….. Rig 12 might take thejr applications
  15. They are a 3A school and part of the Texas City ISD.
  16. I’m shocked. The Houston chapter Refs always kiss Aledo’s ass
  17. This was a brutal game injury wise. There were four or five that went down with ankle or knee injuries.
  18. Yea the Real Wives of Vintage Oaks from Smithson Valley will show up the Aledo gals.
  19. No MILF report from Jerryworld this year?
  20. A lot of cholos too.
  21. I think the Bally/FoxSports SW contract is the glue that held the championships being held at a central location for the last 10 years or so with the every year of that being at Jerryworld minus one when they held them at NRG. I wonder if Bally’s future puts this at risk? I wouldn’t mind if this ends and the UIL is then forced to consider other venues. Or we go back to where the coaches pick the site for each game. It’s BS the DFW area schools year in and year out get home field advantage and they are almost assured to have at least one rep in virtually every class because three of the regions can line up close to the area. Let Aledo, De Soto and Duncanville travel down to San Antonio and spend their taxpayers money instead of always allowing them the luxury of staying home .
  22. Well… they did have a stadium named after them until Jake from State Farm took over.
  23. Exactly my reaction after watching it. I realize he’s only 10 years removed from college and sometimes the full regret for actions done during your youth don’t fully kick in until later. In his case it seems like he’s aware he’s screwed up, but is destined to rinse and repeat and really doesn’t care. Obviously someone has told him though to try to rehabilitate his image or he wouldn’t have done that Netflix show or started the public appearance circuit. But that’s where it stops.
