I finally have Friday's off so checking out which games I could/should attend this year.

9/7 - S.A. Madison @ Bowie
9/14 - Lake Travis @ Bowie
9/21 - Bowie @ Del Valle
9/28 - Lake Travis @ Austin
10/12 - Lake Travis @ Westlake
10/18 - Westlake @ Del Valle

Getting me a few Hudson Card, Garrett Wilson, and Elijah Higgins games in. How weird will it be as a 31-year-old with zero personal attachment flying solo at high school games?

I try to go to a big high school playoff game once a year usually, last one I went to solo . No one seemed to care/notice, and I sure didn’t care if they did anyway.

No grown man with no affiliation should go to a HS game by himself! It just looks weird..............that’s why I take my son with me

Its amazing how it took so long for coaches to figure out the benefits of something as simple as hydration.

 

I'll never forget hearing every year, over and over, "water makes you weeeeeeaaaaakkkkk"

HS games are crowded, how does anyone know you are there on your own or just there to see your kid play? No one pays any attention.

Just don't follow HS girls around in a trenchcoat and you should be fine.

Contact me via PM when you're coming to a Bowie game. I'm at every game.  Usually on the sidelines, but I'll say hi.

Bowie @ Westlake might be a good game. Pencil that one in.  End of the year.

Will do, thanks! Yeah I stopped midseason because I wanna see who is in the playoff hunt at that time. Would like to check out my alma mater at some time too (Travis). I live in Del Valle, so home games there are easy ones, but gotta plan around the other ones (work a few blocks from House Park).

Trying to decide what game to go see 8/31 in DFW looks like these are my best choices

LT-Martin

Aledo-Guyer

Coppell-Sachse

Duncanville-Lancaster

Id like to check out Card but Martin gets blown out in these big games every time and I dont really want to go to a game that's going to be over in the first 20-30 minutes. Coppell-Sachse is two really good teams but the longest drive for me. Maybe I'll go check out the freshman for Southwest who's getting vy comps already

Aledo-Guyer is a good matchup. I'd check that one out.

Yeah, I'd go with Aledo-Guyer out of that group. I don't see Martin competing with LT either. From a UT perspective, Duncanville-Lancaster has a lot of 2020 guys we are interested in, but I wouldn't expect that to be a good game either.

Meh

At 46 I've done many solo games without affiliation in my years. Once drove to big spring from texarkana for an Odessa Abilene game. Lease in Graham so made it easy.

I wouldnt count Martin out. LT always starts slow as they find and fit all the pieces together. There are questions on the defensive line and in the secondary. And right now, the WR corp looks pretty meh outside of GW.

Bullshit.  I have done it for years.   If I love the game, and have so many to pick from( Houston metro AND  more than willing to travel for little schools like WOS, Newton, or Navasota, much less my West Texas roots...)

 

Yeah your assessment is fucked up.  I love going to games by myself.  Why do I need someone to hold my hand?

It took you 3 weeks to come up with a response to my comment. You poor sad lonely pathetic perverted loser! You probably drive around in the summer looking for little league baseball games to check out.

If I lurk anywhere, it’s at Silicone Valley( AKA The Woodlands Mall.)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I looked up thread and didn't see anyone mention it...  FSSW will be showing two games live on opening weekend:

Brock-Brownwood at 5:30.  Pretty ballsy of Brownwood to schedule a 3A team that could whip them.

Lufkin-Longview at 8:30.  If "Lufkin-Longview" doesn't get you excited all by itself, remember that Longview beat Lufkin 33-32 in a region final game last season.  Longview is #7 in 6A, Lufkin #3 in 5A in preseason polls.

Oh no! I got negged and you zoomed in on the post 😱😭 whatever should I do??!!! I bet after you did that and had your buddies neg my post you probably sat back in your chair on your lunch break in the mall food court and thought to yourself “that’ll show him!” lol. I couldn’t care less about positive and negative rep. I’m an adult and I’ll post what I want when I want regardless of if you like it or not. You can suck my dick from the back!!

First Lufkin game I ever attended was LP vs Longview at Abe Martin.   It was badass.  Lived up to every bit of the hype...during the years when it was both Tyler schools, Longview, and Lufkin pl@ying each other twice per season in District play.

 

That was almost criminal to make those teams play that tour of bodybags.

Are you going to be a dick all the time? Or just most of the time?

 I just give out the same energy I receive. If someone’s a dick to me then I’m a dick back. If someone is cool, then I’m cool.

I saw Vince(Madison) in an amazing game against Lamar. Christin(?) was also on Madison and Lamar was sporting Andrew Kelsen and Babers. All went on to be pros. Final score was like 54-49. Refs couldn't keep up .

Nobody's dogging you bro, except when you insist upon yourself.  Most folks posting in this thread are doing so because they love HS football. They aren't seeking anyone's validation for attending a game with or without a buddy. 

Oh by the way, I've also driven from the Woodlands to Tuscola, Sweetwater, and Odessa for 3 Bi District round games, although I had a personal connection with 3 of the schools.

My boss is from Newton,  I may join him on the trip to go see WOS vs Newton.  That will be a hell of a game.

I like to go by myself, sit in the student section, and strike up random conversation with high schoolers.

Hudson card looked good in scrimmage tonight, his timing still needs a little work but he's got 2 years to work on it and it looks like he might be a future longhorn great.
