Your dedication to consistently reminding people how fucking stupid you are is truly remarkable.

#1 Mart! getting beat like they stole something vs Goldwaithe - 46-0 now 

Mart hasn't lost a regular season game to a 2AD2 opponent in...welp...ever. Goldthwaite put the worst loss on Mart in over 40 years. For you big school folks, this is like Westlake losing to Austin High by that margin or Desoto losing to Sunset..

Some are saying Mart played zero starters since they had already sealed the District Championship.  Others are saying Coach Hoffman is on the outs with the school board.

Drama!Drama!Drama!!!

Saginaw High School finishes 10-0. I don't think they've ever won more than 3 or 4 games since they opened in 2002. Beneficiaries of playing an extremely weak FWISD district, plus Boswell essentially gave up on football with the opening of Eagle Mountain High.

Boswell went from perennial playoff team to beating Lake Ridge last night to finish 1-9

I honestly thought the same thing about Sagnasty, but they won 7 in 2019.

The fall off from Azle, Brewer, and Boswell is insane to me. I’m an old and graduated in 99, but those were all good schools for athletics.

Sports families in those areas went to Aledo.

Boswell still had a decent program in football and baseball until EMHS opened. They redrew the district lines in a way to stick Boswell into 6A irrelevance and have a smaller HS that is expected to compete. They literally got approved for funding for a 2500 student campus then redrew the lines and spent all that money on a nice 4A campus for the rich kids to compete with Decatur instead of Trinity

so 6A and 5A get the home field in most cases for Bi-District, but in 4A and below, they follow the old-school model of neutral site in most games.

One typo I found was in 2AD2, Bovina vs Hale Center listed as playing at Copperas Cove.  Yeah...no dawg.  That game is gonna be at Plainview or Canyon, most likely.

In our neighborhood today, I saw someone with a local high school "Playoff" t-shirt on.  I started laughing, as I knew the school had yet to win a District game and generally sucks.  Oh yeah, they are in a 4 team District, so they automatically make the playoffs.  Then I looked at whom might be the 1 seed from their next District over.  It got worse from there. The other District has 4 wins in 32 games, and 2 of those were last week when District play started.

The four teams are:

Denver City 1-7( 1-0)  with 118 PF and 298 PA

Lamesa(  2-6( 1-0) with 312 PF and 378 PA

Brownfield 0-8( 0-1) with 53 PF and 372 PA

Kermit 1-7( 0-1) with 170 PF and 331 PA

 

That's just fucking bad.

 

Lampasas opens the playoffs against a 4 team district. None of the four teams (Andrews, Big Spring, Pecos and Lake View.) have winning records. Andrews went 3-0 in district and finished at 4-6. That’s the high water mark for wins. I think every team in the district should win this coming week. The Mustangs might be the only one that can win as they draw Burnet  instead of former district foe Brownwood thanks to the Lions 31-30 OT win last week against the Bulldogs. Burnet comes in at 5-5, but they’re probably better than any other 4th seed in 4A.

Sinton plays 0-9 Rio Grande City Grulla in their first round game

The UIL has made a full mockery of the playoffs.  

People always say this and I don’t get it. Every team could make the playoffs and it would still be the usual ones playing in Arlington at the end.

Old people love complaining and shitting all over anything and everything that might make a teenager somewhere feel a slight amount of pride

People would rather see bye weeks? I've never understood people's fascination with seeing bad teams make the playoffs. It's going to happen from time to time

Fuck bye weeks, but honestly, a lot of these 1seed vs 4 seed matchups will have starting players less than 24 minutes.  They'll play through midway 2nd Q and POSSIBLY the first possession of the 3rd Q. A quality team will face tougher situations in practice than those bi-district games.  Brownfield is also an 0-10 team in the POs, and 8-2 Shallowater is gonna boatrace their ass. From that same group of teams, Lamesa, 4-6, is the 1 seed taking on Amarillo River Road, 4-6, the 4 seed.  That's actually a very peculiar matchup in that it is very even.  We'll see how it turns out. Back in 98, Wichita Falls Rider made the POs at 2-8, won 2 rounds and then bowed out to Plainview in Regional, posting a 4-9 tally for the season,  That's always been one of the weirdest season records to me.

I'm cool with the current set-up.  I like the 4  qualifiers from each district, but because of the creation of divisions within each class at 5A and below, there are some serious geography challenges that actually make the 4 team districts a necessity, or at least the 'best fit.'  In those 4 team Districts, do they go double round-robin, for 6 District games?  Not sure that prevents the weaker teams from going winless or 1-9 on the season.

Playoffs start this week? Any huge games in SA?

Not really, looks like a bunch of lopsided blowouts. The most interesting ones are at the 5A level imo. Southwest-Seguin. Southwest is actually good and 10-0, they’re looking to go deep in the playoffs for the first time in a very long time. Jay-New Braunfels, can Jay pull the upset? I’ve also got my eye on Burbank-Pfugerville. I’ve been raving about Keven Hernandez on here for 4 years. He’s led Burbank to their first district title in almost 50 years, can he deliver the outmatched southsiders their first playoff win ever (I think)?

Bad teams have always made the playoffs. Every year when I played and then my brother after me we always had to hear about the 10-0 district champion El Paso team (Montwood or Del Valle) that this was their year! And every time we had our starters out before halftime and JV kids starting by the end of 3Q. Rinse and repeat with most panhandle and Valley schools, with the exception for those areas being the smaller classifications.

Del Valle actually is pretty good this year though. Their QB is a 2026 4-star committed to Arizona State

You get 0-9 teams etc making the playoffs because their districts are four teams. In this case you absolutely did nothing to earn a playoff birth. At least in a five team district, you have to win at least one game to get in.

I would’ve hid my head in shame had a I made the playoffs on an 0-9 team. Call me old but I’m correct.

You’re lucky to play in about 20 varsity high school football games in your entire lifetime. Somehow I think these kids will be ok with playing in one extra game even if they didn’t “earn” it. It’s not their fault the UIL put them in a 4 team district.

And people argue over all of this just for most of the state championship games to be one district champion getting obliterated by another district champion. The sport itself is just super unbalanced. 

If you come in 2nd or lower in your District, you have to face your District champion( or the team who beat them) in the Quarterfinals.  I love the way the Texas playoffs work once they are up and running.  I love no preferential treatment for anyone, within reason.  There are District seeds, but they go in set places on the brackets.  I like that too.

That Bi-district game for the 0-10 team is a bitch, and some will forfeit the game to avoid going through the drill of getting lit up by 50pts.  I've also seen young teams or a team with early injury setbacks get healthy or find their stride and make noise in the POs.  4th place in to of these 7-8 team Districts are not necessarily shitty teams.  I think the solution is mandating 6 teams per district, but geography-wise, that could ultimately suck for more people in a big way, both financially and impact on staff and students.

i don't really have a lot of grief over the current setup, but 6 team districts would be my request, or make 4 team Districts play double round robin.

I see it all the time when high school playoffs are discussed. The olds love to talk about the days of only district winners getting in. Yeah, no one cares. That was decades ago and the sports and times have evolved.

Records can also not always fully reflect the strength of a team, especially when injuries are keeping the leaders and best players off the field. A 5-5 team from a competitive district that hits their stride at the end of the season and is fully healthy can be as good as or better than a 10-0 team from a mediocre district.

Yep. In 2002 Midland High finished 3rd in district 3-5A and was 22 seconds away from beating Judson in the state championship. The Abilene High team that whooped them got throttled by James Morton and Lubbock Monterey in the area round. Abilene Cooper won the district and then got bushwhacked by Chase Wasson and some 7’ tall wide receiver in the 3rd round.

There have also been complete 4-0 sweeps in the bidistrict round where #4 knocks off the other district's champ. Not sure what the deepest ever run for a #4 has been though but I bet it's at least three rounds
