View Full Version : Too many threads about SLC?

I've noticed a lot of people complaining about there being too many threads about SLC at any given time. So at 6:03 pm I took a snapshot of the 1st page of threads (excluding the stickied ones at the top) and did a count:
60 total threads
Threads about SLC AND started by a SLC fan: 5
Threads about SLC AND started by a non-SLC fan: 4
Threads about SLC total: 9 (15% of the threads on the 1st page)
for comparison:
Threads about 26-5A AND started by a fan of 26-5A: 12
Threads about 26-5A AND started by a non-26-5A fan: 1
Threads about 26-5A total: 13 (22% of the threads on the 1st page)
I don't have a way to count the number of fans per school...but I would bet that AT LEAST 15% of the total posters on this forum are from SLC...so it's not too surprising that only 15% of the total threads are about the Dragons. Likewise with the fans of SV, Madison, etc in the 26-5A...total they probably comprise a fourth of the total posters, and what do you know, 22% of the threads are about their schools.
With all of that said, the Lufkin and Katy fans are the exception since they no doubt comprise a vast majority as well, but have few threads directly relating to their schools.
However, I think this number game gives some insight for the minority posters (Plano, Cy Falls, Longview, etc) who complain about the number of threads regarding SLC. Not to mention a team with as much success as SLC has had, and as much media attention as they receive, are ALWAYS going to have an inordinately high amount of coverage.

It's a conspiracy - no two ways about it.
If you notice very carefully - every SLC thread has this subliminal message in it.

Now divide that by 9. Comparing 9 teams to 1. Its all good. Just pass them up if you dont like them I guess. Oh, this is another one too;)

The reason there are so many about 26-5A compared to SLC is because...SLC doesn't have any competition up there. 26-5A is unpredictable in almost every game...

In 2004 I think you guys had a very hard game. That year SV lost to another 26-5 team, and had two close games.
Churchill W 22-0 District
Judson L 15-30 District
MacArthur W 21-14 District
Reagan W 34-13 District
Lee W 48-8 District
Madison W 42-6 District
Roosevelt W 24-13 District
You guys would blow by them all however. Each and every year.

CKE, Zippy & I could unite and discuss the playing surface at "The Rig", the 40 times for the Pearland LB's, Pearlands record in the playoffs...I'm in! Where'd the name Pearland come from anyway? Do they grow Pears? We're south of Lake Grapevine...but Pearland? I thought they grew rice and cattle there..and drilled for oil & gas..?

Or it could be that SV made adjustments like always and were on their way to a comeback? The final was that close. It was a 15 point game. Rack is smarter than that. He knows Hill too well to just sit back and hope SV does not come back. I was at that game, and did not see it that way, but if you think so..

Nah, we do need to talk about SLC more. I was thinking that we could debate on them being #1. I just do not agree with this. I think they should be ranked #.05. #1 is too low in the ranking. This would be more fun then talking about L.U.S.

Me either. Can you name how many times SV has been down in the first to only come back and win in the second? Or be very close at the half, and come back and blow teams out? Or how about Katy last year, did they just sit back like Judson and let them get those points? Oh well, SV made up for it the next year and should go up 2-1 after this year.

Yes it is the best in the state. Thats a fact. Deal with it. You guys can't be the best at everything. Its fine that you do not agree, but which one is the best overall? How many others have two teams that usually make it to state, but get beat by teams below them in their district? Let me know.
Gangster like? LoL! Hows that? 26-5, or 5-5. 5-5 is just as gangter as 26-5 isnt it? What would you like me to say to suit the terms used in your Vocab? Please help me here. How should I say it? I am as far from gangster as you can get, but it thats how you read it, go ahead.

I really think that 5-5a is going to be one of the most watched districts because, depending on who makes the playoffs from 5-5a, it will determine if SLC will go D1 or D2. That determination will either increase or decrease the chances of all the other teams in the playoffs. I do not want this to sound arrogant but, history has shown that if you want to win state your chances are better in the division that does not have SLC. Therefore, the determining games that will decide which division SLC will go become some of the most compelling games in the state. 26-5a can claim to have the highest number of better teams but I would wager that 5-5a is the one that most people have an interest in.

I've noticed a lot of people complaining about there being too many threads about SLC at any given time. So at 6:03 pm I took a snapshot of the 1st page of threads (excluding the stickied ones at the top) and did a count:
60 total threads
Threads about SLC AND started by a SLC fan: 5
Threads about SLC AND started by a non-SLC fan: 4
Threads about SLC total: 9 (15% of the threads on the 1st page)
for comparison:
Threads about 26-5A AND started by a fan of 26-5A: 12
Threads about 26-5A AND started by a non-26-5A fan: 1
Threads about 26-5A total: 13 (22% of the threads on the 1st page)
I don't have a way to count the number of fans per school...but I would bet that AT LEAST 15% of the total posters on this forum are from SLC...so it's not too surprising that only 15% of the total threads are about the Dragons. Likewise with the fans of SV, Madison, etc in the 26-5A...total they probably comprise a fourth of the total posters, and what do you know, 22% of the threads are about their schools.
With all of that said, the Lufkin and Katy fans are the exception since they no doubt comprise a vast majority as well, but have few threads directly relating to their schools.
However, I think this number game gives some insight for the minority posters (Plano, Cy Falls, Longview, etc) who complain about the number of threads regarding SLC. Not to mention a team with as much success as SLC has had, and as much media attention as they receive, are ALWAYS going to have an inordinately high amount of coverage.
I remember a 2A web site where the post used to be about half about Celina, it just goes to show, if you dominate people talk about you. SLC is one very very close loss from being 68-0 in 5A. They earn all their props.
I also saw where they just hosted the kid from Gilmer Josh Nelson who is in the fight for his life against Lukemia, they took the time to tour the SLC campus with him, pray with him, visit with him and now keep in touch with him.
Coach Dodge it seems was instrumental in this visit.
How can you not hold this team up, its a once in a lifetime run they are.
It wont last forever, I'm just glad to get to see it.

Its a forum, and its easier to say 26-5, 5-5, 25-5 than to put a freaking A after each one. I will also use 265. I can do this cause everyone knows what I am talking about. Unlike 55. Adjust to it I guess.

So one time both teams made it to state in the same year... Yup..
So your definition of 'usually' means one time ever... Nice...
Look, when you fire off some bs about how 26-5a 'usually' sends 2 teams to state then I am gonna call you on it.
5-5A is a freaking joke, and I know it. I didn't make this about 'Southlake Carroll'... You did.

You kind of miss "key words" when reading. Usually. One time out of 4 that both went, usually. Since 2002 there is only one year that one did not go. "Usually" Do I need to dig up the stats on how many time these teams made it to the quarter or semi's when they didnt go to state? Then look at the games that were close, or where these teams were beaten, in district play. When you fire off bs that "the 265" <--- gangsta, is not at the top, and call me gangster Im going to call you on it. The "55" is a joke, but does that mean that the 265 is too? Again, please name a district that is stronger across the board. You said you didnt agree, and that is the point of all this, so enlighten me. Which is the best?

I really think that 5-5a is going to be one of the most watched districts because, depending on who makes the playoffs from 5-5a, it will determine if SLC will go D1 or D2. That determination will either increase or decrease the chances of all the other teams in the playoffs. I do not want this to sound arrogant but, history has shown that if you want to win state your chances are better in the division that does not have SLC. Therefore, the determining games that will decide which division SLC will go become some of the most compelling games in the state. 26-5a can claim to have the highest number of better teams but I would wager that 5-5a is the one that most people have an interest in.
Re: Districts 12-5A,14-5A,17-5A and 26-5A... we are the fortunate football fans
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would have to say 5-5a is an exciting district for one reason. SLC will probally win the district but all the othe teams are very well balanced and depending on how they all play will determine if SLC will go D1 or D2 which is a huge question mark for how the playoffs shape up. At this point nobody knows who will be the #2,3,or 4th playoff spots and depending on who it is will depend on who SLC will face in the playoffs. That almost makes it more exciting because of the impact on the rest of the playoff teams in the state!
You should have just pasted and copied. Still does not get people interested in it. No matter how much you try to pound it upon people.

100% true, but beside the point. Either way, they are in the same district today. The debate is the strenght of district today, and they are both a part of it. With the move of the teams into 265, comes the strenght of the team.

Yes, we're going to agree to disagree...
OH, and I mentioned 'gangsta' because that's what The U is... and The 26-5 certainly reminds me of that.. I don't think you are a gangster.. Lordy..

If you are judging district strenght on state finals appearances in the last four years then 26-5A = 5-5A

Yea, I know what the U is. Even the non-gangster types that went to the U call it that. Calling the "University of Miami" the "U" just seemed a far fetch from calling the "26-5A" the "26-5". I guess you just see it different than me.

If you want to try and turn it around like that, feel free to do so. However, you and I both know that is not even what is judging the strenght of the district. Teams from 5-5A that have been to state since 2002 =1. Teams from 26-5 = 2 (and those 2 always have 2 more teams in that district that give them problems). I do like the way you try to twist it to work like you want it however.

265-1

5-5A has 7 state Titles. SLC 6 and Grapevine 1.
Not to say that 5-5A is on par with 26-5A.

Really is 0-0 because the two district have not played each other.
Take the state game when a "team" from on played the other and its 2-0. Now take 26-5's 2nd down against 5-5'a second down, and match them up like you want its is 26-5 across the board.

I think if you check the records, Grapevine has two 4A State Titles : 1996 & 1998. Meaning District 5 has 8 State Titles.

Zippy,
A couple of questions on this from your signature line...
"The Past 10 Years:
SV since 1996 Won 116 lost 18. 87% of the time they win.
SLC since 1996 Won 123 lost 28. 81% of the time they win"
How do you explain the extra 7 games in 10 years for SLC? Also, did you pick 1996 because that year makes these numbers the best for SV?

that year and the results thereof was the best year, in retrospect, in slc history. without the flameout and ultimate meltdown, we'd have been stuck with rapp, and dodge'd gone elsewhere, and that's the rest of the story. coach ledbetter doesn't get enough credit for pulling the plug, and then taking the leap of faith, into truly unknown territory, for a running coach anyway. dodgeball must have looked awfully alien to coach l.

it was before the 02 year, when we put the no-huddle system in, that they went to learn it from middle tennessee. has been pretty successful, if i do say so myself.
