Yeah and thank smith at running back…..
 
 

We lost to them 37-7 in the third round my senior year after rolling through the rest of our schedule. I played for Newton, we never lacked team speed even in non-championship years, and this Marlin team wasn’t just bigger than us (most teams were), they were faster. Jeremy Sanders hit me in the nuts by accident when I sacked him once that game, that’s my primary memory. The rest was us getting demoralized and crying after the game. I feel like 3A football is kind of the sweet spot if you’re like me and weren’t very talented — get to play against some badasses occasionally but still get to compete. Anyway, I’d love/hate to see us pick up some Marlin guys. If they’re anything like the Marlin players from 15 years ago, they have that dog in ‘em.

Still upset with Cody (Wallace) for going to A&M. We were seniors his sophomore year when he started at center. We had Matt Anderson from Cuero starting for the Horns at center at the time, so of course our oline were fans. But for whatever reason a lot of our football guys from my class ended up going to A&M, including our starting tackles (not for football, just school), so I guess Cody tagged along two years later, only on scholly. Cody's good people.

Latrael Cooper did as well.

Yeah it really sucked watching Latrael go down during a damn scrimmage his jr year, if he was healthy there's no chance Case Keenum beats us in Waco. 

It's weird most of the people in my class were all UT fans but only 2 of us went on to FBS ball in Kaeron Johnson who went to Baylor despite being an aggy fan, and Quincey Whittington went to SMU but flaked out there.

My family and Matt Anderson's family are friends, and I worked for his dad in high school out on their property in Cheapside and in Concrete. I thought it was the coolest thing getting to hang out with an actual UT player all the time.

Junior and senior seasons burnet and wimberley were in our district. We won state in 02 and it’s crazy that two teams from our district played for state titles that year. Burnet had the most collection of talent I’ve ever seen on a 3A team. Everman beat them once and Atlanta the next year. Those two teams must have been full of bad mother fuckers. I watched McGee and Shipley live twice…it was majestic.

Everman and Gainesville, I think. Gainesville had that RB that no one could stop. From what I remember about that Everman team is just athletes all over the field.

Ahh you’re right Gainesville beat burnet in 03-04 in the division 1. Atlanta won division 2.  I have tape of Shipley blitzing from his safety spot and knocking down a pitch, no bullshit. We ran a triple option play and the fucker was so quick he played the qb then tracked the pitch down and was able to swat it out of the air. Scooped it up for a fumble six.

Lets see Everman won state in 01 (Sinton) and 02 (Burnet)... if I remember correctly Everman was down to Burnet when they lost a player on a tackle (paralyzed neck down) and that seemed to focus them and they pulled off the 2nd title in a row.

Oh yeah, I believe the QB of that Sinton team was Adrian Alaniz, who played baseball for us.

Yeah well I got to see Rotan Yellowhammer Shipley set the state record or some shit for scoring from every position possible. Receiving td, rushing td, pass td, int for td, kickoff and punt returns for td. Pretty sure he kicked a field goal too just for shits.

I’m sure that Sammy Baugh would have been proud of him.

So, Saban loses offensive and defensive coordinators every couple of years.....he loses offensive and defensive line coaches every couple of years.....he turns around and hires others to fill the void.

He recruits 4* and 5* players, the best of the best each and every year.

He wins, many get into the NFL.  Repeat.  Players make a bigger difference than coaches....maybe?

That’d be the Schobels. Pretty sure Matt Anderson wasn’t just confused when he’d come back to Cuero and pop in at school or practice, and we just tolerated it.
