Bryan Beats Cy-Falls

[VikingDad]

Strange game....

Bryan jumped out to a 31-16 lead at halftime then went conservative in the second half and ran out the clock with 6+ minutes left to win the game 33-22

Cy-Falls has a team full of great athletes and just need the qb to get a few more games under his belt. He made some poor decisions with the football which gave the ball to Bryan at least three times.

Bryan's offense looked good in the first half and the defense, while still subject to the big play, shut down the Eagles for most of the second half.

Good luck next week!

[Bobcat Booster]

Wow! I'll have to hear more about this game. Congrats to Bryan, I really expected Falls to win this one.

[supercentex]

So weird.... Waco scrimmaged Bryan last week in Waco. Waco beat the tar out of them. In the live scrimmage we scored 3 TD's and a field goal and Bryan the whole day did not score at all.

Are we that good....or are both Bryan and Cy-Falls not that good?

Hard to tell....

With all due respect to Cy Falls, it seems that it depends which day you get to play them. When they are good they are very, very, good. And when they are not, they are still pretty good, just not like they are when they are "ON". Don't think it's a good idea to make judgments yet. People have done that before.....:eek:

[CyFallsMom]

It's zero week guys - anything can happen. The Eagles will be fine. Sounds like Bryan is off to another good start too. Bryan always tests the Eagles and last year they beat us even worse. It's always a tough game. But it's also a good time to get the kinks out if you are the coaching staffs. Thanks for the info Viking - I wasn't able to make the game so anything is appreciated:) .

Oh, you know the Eagles well my friend! Yep - it is too early to make a lot of assessments on a lot of teams - it's just starting up! We have Westfield next week - my eternal optimism hopes and wishes we do well but I also know what they are going up against. But remember this, we were 1-2 going into district play last year and didn't get hurt by it;)

[Fleeman93]

I thought for sure that Falls' coaching would be able to pull this one out in a tough game early in the season. Is Falls really having that many problems?

I think that fits perfectly. :)

The Cy Falls starting QB played the first series (5-6 plays TD) and 2 or 3 plays of the second series when he broke a long run and about 5 tackles for 25 yds. and came out with an ankle injury. He never came back in and the second string QB made a lot of mistakes.

This is not trying to take anything away from a good Bryan team, but it is a different game if Falls has their starting QB.

Good luck next week!

Starting QB(Gray)left early in the first half with an ankle sprain. Back-up QB's(Tomez)first varsity game experience. Falls defense made great adjustments at the half and shut down the Bryan starters in the second half. Bryan's only 2 points came from a QB sack in the endzone.
With Falls generating zero offense after Gray left the game due to a severe case of first game jitters from Tomez, I have no doubt Falls would have won this game easily with their starter in there.
The first 3 games are basically practice games. Eagles were state finalists last year after going 1-2 to start the season. I wouldn't worry too much, but Gray has to stay healthy for the Eagles to get to the playoffs.

Starting QB injury early in the first half. Too many turnovers by the back-up. Falls defense looked great in the second half. Good speed at receiver, and an all-district RB. I think Falls will be a team to contend with after they have time to gel as a team.

I'm not an expert but this is how I see that Falls approaches the games and has since I've been watching them - they go out with the intention of winning every game but if it doesn't happen, especially in the preseason, they shake it off and learn from it - they don't sit around commisserating and wondering why they didn't win - they use it to their advantage for the next team and game. Preseason, as trainerdad said and I have always preached, is a period for basically practicing the plays they have learned and gelling as a team. Some teams (and their fans) act as if their very lives depend on every win.

I have nothing but faith in this year Eagles and this loss doesn't deter me one bit nor would any other preseason loss...they mean so little in the big scheme. It's not about where you fall in a poll or whether you beat teams 50-0 each week - it's about that ultimate goal that you set, be it just getting to the playoffs or going all the way to state, and what they need to do to get there and the ability to adjust at any time. We lost our first two last year - so I rest my case on that one.

I would rather have fans that can accept a loss and respect the play of their team and realize they did their best than one who wins 50-0 and finds all sorts of things wrong with the way their team played - can you imagine how those kids feel when that happens? The pressure must be unbearable at times. They are, after all, still just kids.

I will be thinking of Kolby this week and hoping and praying he gets better.

Katyfan - I don't know that line believe it or not and I know most:D .

Falls lost their starting QB in the 1st qtr - reserve threw three interceptions (1 returned for TD / 1 deep in Falls territory) and had 2 fumbles. Entire makeup of game changed after that point.

Bryan is a big athletic team - much like last year. Probably a bit better in the passing game. A very elusive RB (#11) and a fast defense. They will be a playoff team - but need a little offensive diversity to make any noise.

Falls wants to win - but the most important point (as in last year) is getting through district relatively healthy and starting a long playoff run - something I would NOT rule out after this game and perhaps even next week against a tough Westfield opponent.

I would think it's safe to bet that there are fans like that in the stands for all teams. It's just that they are all not posting on message boards like this. :cool:

[cyfallsbooster2]

Gray was really beginning to get the offense moving after spreading out and slowing down the Bryan defense a little. Big, fast, athletic players for Bryan that are very active and love to hit! The all-out 7-man blitzing does make them suscpetable to the big play.:D

What I enjoyed watching last night was coach Eaton transforming his defense into a wild pack of dogs during the game!:D I really like that guy. To say our defense was vertically challeged compared to the Bryan OL is putting it mildly. I think the entire OL was 6'4"+ and Falls defensive front 7 came up to about their shoulders. No kidding. I was sitting close to a Bryan fan and his family and early on he asked "Is it just me, or does ya'lls defense look kinda small?". Just as he finished the question as I was beginning to answer, they boys penetrated and dropped the Bryan back for a 1 yard loss. The Bryan fan immediately commented, "But they sure have some fight in them!"

The defense started out playing what they thought was aggressive. Little did they know what they were cable of. After making some adjustments and teaching the boys, Eaton began his plan of teaching what intensity really means. He was ranting and raving, punching holes thru his marker board, jumping up and down and leading by example what it means to be intense! The boys responded very well, bonding together and taking the field with real fire! From that point on, it seemed except for a few 8-12 yard plays, Falls' defense stopped the Bryan run game for no gain or a loss. It was great to watch that.

kudos to Bryan on last night's win. Great athletes with a very good coach. Where ya'll started your year at last night, you should do very well this year. A very big, fast and physical team.

Agree completely, they showed us that last year for sure.

I hope he gets back in the game soon.

Katyfan - I don't know that line believe it or not and I know most:D .
You know, after I posted I googled it, and I couldn't find it. I know I've heard it but I'll be darned if I can remember. Sheesh, am I already having senior moments???

It was 45-0. ;) I hope I'm not being presumptuous, but I had a feeling this was a reference to us. If not ignore the post and we will say no more. We can accept a loss, but when you are not accustomed to it happening a lot it is harder. As far as the things that "went wrong" we are merely discussing the things the boys and the coaches will be discussing themselves. I don't know how it feels when it happens, but I do know that those boys know that we support them 100% percent, and we show them every week of the season by showing up and cheering them on, win or lose from the moment the first one steps on the field for warmups until the last one leaves the field at the end. When you develop a pattern of only losing 1 or 2 games a season, you have to learn and grow from the wins too. I think that is what you are seeing. We love our "Men in Red". :)

Just as an aside, some of those critics are former players, and they do know what it's like, and I assume know what it takes to keep growing as a team.

Mom, you know me and I'm a straight shooting kind of guy... I like you and I think you're a great Cy-Falls fan... But... I thought this was a Bryan/Cy-Falls thread...

[cyfallsnumber1]

bryan beat cy falls last year also.

district play is where it is all at

[cyfallsbooster2]

What a tough situation for Tomez. Your first varsity game and the starter goes down early and you have to step in against a big, fast physical team with a pack mentality! Difficult for any inexperienced kid. Should be a good learning experience for him and he will be better able to handle it next time he is called upon. He seems to be a real gamer.

so what?!?! remember a guy named ross bruns? he was starting at the end of the season while he was still a freshman. now thats a gamer. tomez is still a unknown.

Hey Mom,
Now I know last year one of our first "talks" about tradition and winning we discussed some of these same points you are making. This is not a dig on you or your program, but I do not understand your thinking. Please help me.
1) Intentions pave the long road home in football, It's believing not intending.
2) Disagree
3) They need to WIN!
Just my opinions, hope you guys fare well next week.
BTW, blaming a loss on a 2nd string qb doesn't build confidence either, in this game you must be able to overcome injuries and win inspite of adversity.

[Dynastybegan86]

AHH! love amongst brothers.:D
cf1 you should not be messing with b2, his all world and your a second teamer. I would think you would be supporting your team mates:cool: , not running them down. imo.

ahh lol sry

but tomez still needs to grow. if your in varsity, especially like cy-falls, you need to understand you are expected to produce. i know, he is still young and stuff but your varsity not some scrub on jv

"some scrub on jv"? Chill out with what you're saying, you're getting a bit too comfortable hiding behind that screenname.

Falls got a young team this year, they'll start rolling sooner or later, the sooner the better.

[cyfallsnumber1]

falls isnt that young. A lot of the starters are seniors.

[abc]

Just to let you guys know, his name is Tamez.....and he's no scrub, he did great on the JV level, playing with lots of heart, he just needs a little more experience.....not to mention, Bryan's defense was blitzing with several players at a time

[abc]

falls isnt that young. A lot of the starters are seniors.

I think he meant inexperienced, the only returning starter from last year is the running back, Shane Turner, who didn't even start until halfway through or toward the end of last year's regular season

[cyfallsnumber1]

I agree, extremely inexperienced. but this group is a nice group with a good defense, and a steady offense if kolby is at the helm. also, will peroit(dt) was a starter last year.

You are mistaken, Peroit did not start last year. Check on it, Turner is the only returning starter.

[cyfallsnumber1]

turner didnt start half of the games either. what are you trying to say? if you dont start the whole season your not a "returning starter" will did start but not the whole season.

[abc]

turner didnt start half of the games either. what are you trying to say? if you dont start the whole season your not a "returning starter" will did start but not the whole season.

Will Perro started one or two games, he backed up Jerrod Black, the 17-5a defensive MVP who is now at Iowa State the rest of the games. I would say shane counts as a returning starter, seeing as he started half way through the regular season and started throughout the entire playoffs eventually off to state....so 16 weeks minus 4-5 games? I'd call him a returning starter

[cyfallsbooster2]

his name is Tamez.....

Just got back from the A&M game. WHOOP!

Thank you for the info. I am very unfamiliar with this year's group. But I did get a good feel for them last night. THEY FOUGHT ALL THE WAY THROUGH! That tells me alot about them.

People can say all they want to about these kids "knowing" what to expect when they get in the game, but, they will not understand what it is like until they are actually in it. The size, strength and speed difference between JV and varsity is big, very big. Gray got some good play time last year so he already understands that and is better prepared to deal with it at this point. Tamez will get his reps and develop. The team will need to work with and support him as he develops. That will go a long way to helping him adjust to the new situation.

Inexperience showed in the game last night in all aspects. Some more evident than others. But what I saw was a team of kids who are hungry to earn some respect and are willing to fight for it. The coaches are doing a good job of working with the kids and trying to get them up to speed as quick as possible. They will be there in the end. Bank on it.:D

Also, I said earlier in the year to watch for a kid named Ryan Moss. He started the year working in the secondary. Due to a few nicks to receivers, he has been working with the offense this past week. He ran Fall's in-motion end around last night for a TD. Congrats, Ryan! Told you guys the swimmer kid would be an impact this year!:D

CFB2...I am assuming that none of the boys from CF got any playing time. I will be up there to shoot the A&M game next week and will be keeping and eye out for them and post some shots here.

[cyfallsbooster2]

You guys do realize that quite a few of the QBs that won games over the weekend, were also getting their first varsity starts, yes?

And Kolby Gray had his first varsity start as well and was moving the offense well. More than likely, all the QB's getting their first varsity starts this year are similar to Kolby, they were varsity back-ups last year and got some varsity experience. Tamez did not have that luxury.

[cyfallsbooster2]

CFB2...I am assuming that none of the boys from CF got any playing time. I will be up there to shoot the A&M game next week and will be keeping and eye out for them and post some shots here.

It is my understanding that due to depth of linebackers, they will be redshirting Stephens this year. Holland was suited out but did not play. Talking to his dad Friday night at the Bryan game, Roger will be seeing some game time here in the very near future. The coaches like his route discipline, hands and heart.:D

[twcpfan1]

And Kolby Gray had his first varsity start as well and was moving the offense well. More than likely, all the QB's getting their first varsity starts this year are similar to Kolby, they were varsity back-ups last year and got some varsity experience. Tamez did not have that luxury.

Maybe so but not in our case. Chris Brennan was the JV QB practically all year last year. I don't believe Tyler Eckenrode from The Woodz was a Varsity backup either.

[cyfallsbooster2]

I did qualify my statement with "More than likely....". I do not believe there is any correlation between the situations you are speaking of and Falls'. Tamez is not the starter right now and had no varsity experience prior to Friday outside of the scrimmage and practice. He was welcomed to the varsity experience in a big way with a very fast and physical Bryan team. He gained some invaluable experience in that game and will be better equiped to handle it next time he is called upon.

I'm sure the kid will do fine. And I hope the starter's injury does not keep him out for too long.

[cyfallsbooster2]

I don't believe it will. I think he just had a defender roll his ankle after a 20-25 yard run. But, it could have happened during one of the 5 broken tackles during that run.:D He was taking some shots and fighting ahead!:D I think his sitting out was more precautionary than anything. Preseason is for getting ready for district play. The kids want to win at all costs but the coaches are thinking about district.;)

[CyFallsMom]

BTW, blaming a loss on a 2nd string qb doesn't build confidence either, in this game you must be able to overcome injuries and win inspite of adversity.

First of all, please show me where I blamed the 2nd string QB? He did his best and I believe the coaches didn't put Kolby back in due to it not being a district game and not wanting further injury at this point. As for your "points":

1) If you don't intend to go out there and win, then why show up? After the intention comes the belief that you can do so...intention must be first
2) You have that right - just as I do
3) Yes they need to win but sometimes they don't. They know they need to win but the first game out is sometimes a lesson in learning how to play as a team for many...especially a fairly inexperienced team.

Back to the comment about the 2nd string QB - what about Katy fans bemoaning about the lack of good play in a 45-0 win? How's that for bringing down the confidence of the players. That just puzzles many of us to no end. I would take a 45-0 win, good bad OR ugly! Our team lost, but guess what, they know it and they will adjust. We have Westfield this week. I'm not a fool - I know what we are up against there. I can still hope for the best but I won't be down on them if they don't win. Not every team MUST go 16-0 to make it a sucessful season. I just don't understand being down on a team when they WIN.

[twcpfan1]

Glad to hear it. The most important thing (even more important than wins) is that all the kids stay healthy and injury free.

[rwilleby]

We're not down on our team...

[CyFallsMom]

Not on this site they aren't and you never are but on the other one some have been. I just don't get that. Katy will go 10-0 in regular season - regardless if it's "ugly" or not (not my term btw but one I saw elsewhere). It's not any different than saying some Falls fans bring the team down with comments about the 2nd QB. That second QB (Tamez) will be fine and will play if he needs to this week. Why risk anything in preseason and lose your starter for the rest of the season? I will be there to support whichever QB is out there against one of the best teams in the state next weekend - that's all I know:). It's good to know we have good stiff competition in preseason - because win or lose, it gets them ready for district play in one of the toughest districts in the state.

That just puzzles many of us to no end. I would take a 45-0 win, good bad OR ugly! Our team lost, but guess what, they know it and they will adjust. We have Westfield this week. I'm not a fool - I know what we are up against there. I can still hope for the best but I won't be down on them if they don't win. Not every team MUST go 16-0 to make it a sucessful season. I just don't understand being down on a team when they WIN.

I can't speak for the Katy fans but I too was expressing some concern over our 44-0 win on Thursday. But I'm pretty sure I'm not anywhere near as critical of our team as the players and coaches are of themselves. And I am mainly posting these concerns for anybody on this site who might be interested in how the game went. We need to get ready for district and a possible playoff run. I don't think there is anything wrong with commenting on areas that might need improvement. Especially in Week 0.

[CyFallsMom]

I think we all want to go out to the stadium and see well played, well executed games out the gate - just isn't going to happen in most of the cases in August. These teams change out every year and they just aren't the well-oiled machines in August that they become in November. It takes a little patience and I know the coaches go in there and point out the negatives and all. But the fans should be more patient at this point in the season. I guess that's why I can step back and look at a loss in a positive way. Even last year when we were expected to beat Bryan and didn't - there was no way that brought me down nor did the loss to Westfield (actually that was a good game!). In 4 weeks, if your team still looks lackluster, then bring it on. For now, I would let them get acclimated to the new season. Just my .02.

[katyfan52]

First of all, please show me where I blamed the 2nd string QB? He did his best and I believe the coaches didn't put Kolby back in due to it not being a district game and not wanting further injury at this point. As for your "points":

1) If you don't intend to go out there and win, then why show up? After the intention comes the belief that you can do so...intention must be first
2) You have that right - just as I do
3) Yes they need to win but sometimes they don't. They know they need to win but the first game out is sometimes a lesson in learning how to play as a team for many...especially a fairly inexperienced team.

You're absolutely correct. That's why we have pre district games. It's all about getting ready for when it counts. Unless you're SLC or Katy, pre district wins and losses should be all about building confidence and learning experiences. The Woodz fans were excited after the loss by their young inexperienced team to SV. More excited over that loss than several wins they've had the last couple of years.

[rwilleby]

Every game there are things to work on... Even during the regular season... That's why the team sets goals for itself and measures their perfomance...

Come to one of our film nights on Monday night and you'll hear the coaches tell us what worked, what didn't and that they'll get it straigntened out... They don't do that because they have to, they do it because we, the fans, are committed to the program...

I don't think you'll find anyone on our Katy board who will trash the kids without getting an ear full... Now if they speak the truth it's probably something the coaches and players already know... We're just talking amoungst family...

Most of us would rather win than not... But you don't get 5,000 loyal fans out every Friday night just by winning district... It's deeper than that... Win or lose the majority are still Katy Tiger Fans...

[Owned05]

A lot of you post as if the players and coaches that check these boards are taking all of this seriously. They really don't.

CyFallsMom you have to know that, you're married to a coach, right?

[rwilleby]

Most of us post to talk with other fans... The coaches and players know what they need to do, they certainly don't need to turn to a message board to learn how to play ball... Some coaches, players, parents, teachers and board members do read our board... Some even comment...

I don't post to tell them what to do, just to voice my opinion... I think they're smart enough to get that... Don't you?

[Owned05]

Then why are some posters up and arms about critiquing a team after a 45-0 win saying something like "it brings down the confidence of your players"?

[katy_dynasty]

ok mom heres the thing at katy itsnot about being good or just winning we want to bethe best in the state and every week we want to prove it last year the loss to cy falls made us way stronger as a team. we want nothing but to destroy every team we play and we feel like we have the team to do it this year. i believe the fans do as well yes we won 45-0 and we are happy about it but we know we played bad and have alot of things to work on . katys ranked #7 in the nation in some polls and in the top 10 in others nothing but a state ring at the end of the year will be acceptable

[rwilleby]

Then why are some posters up and arms about critiquing a team after a 45-0 win saying something like "it brings down the confidence of your players"?

I wouldn't say Katy people are "up in arms" about anything... They're just voicing their opinion... Fact is, the Defense was stellar, Special Teams very good and the First Offense looked like it could use a little polish... Two good and one needs a little more work... Isn't that why we play in August in the first place? I think it is...

Now if other people think it brings our players down then there's nothing we can do about that... I think on game night our Coaches and Players know who stands beside them, behind them and will take up for them, win or lose...

[katyfan52]

No. I think her husband is a teacher at MR. He used to teach at Stratford and was also a athletic trainer for the Spartans. I hope I got that right. ;)

This is wierd. I go out to work in my garage all day and come back to find that on the Bryan/Falls thread, the last 10 0f 11 posts are by Katy posters attacking a Falls poster and talking about how great the Katy posters are. Hmmmmm....the next SLC syndrome?:D

I don't know... Ever seen the movie "Groundhog Day"? :)

Yeah. But you guys are primed this year. Lots of returning talent with all the constant entangibles.

[cyfallsbooster2]

so what?!?! remember a guy named ross bruns? he was starting at the end of the season while he was still a freshman. now thats a gamer. tomez is still a unknown.

And as a matter of fact I do remember Ross Bruns. Yes, he was a real "gamer". The kid worked harder than just about anyone else on the team that year and the next 3. And very gifted. But, the new coaching staff decided at the first of that year that they were going to work for the future. They put a freshman in at quarterback to work for the upcoming years. Thus the 3-7 record that year. Unfair to the kid and the team. And if I remember correctly, Ross was not starting at the end of the season. Brekke was (another "gamer"). Ross was sidelined with a fractured leg recieved in the Tomball game (game 5). I believe he played in 2 more games before the fracture was diagnosed and he was sidelined. Falls won 2 of those last 3 games. Mainly due to a slightly stronger arm in Brekke who was able to utilize the talents of a young man by the name of Terrence Nunn. They beat JV in the last game of the season. First time in school history to defeat JV. Thus, all the seniors wear the monikor of "First Timers".

So I fail to see what your point is. Tamez strikes me as a gamer also. Nuf' said.

without going around highlighting and quoting others (it's too early in the day for me) I just want to remind those who have commented on my comments to go back and look at 1) Fleeman's post about "is Cy Falls really that bad" and 2) Dynasty's post about how comments by a couple of Falls posters regarding our #2 QB are going to bring the team down. I am VERY protective of the Eagles and will defend them no matter what and saw no reason to post "are they THAT bad" nor the second one. Everyone says "oh those Falls fans are so obsessed by Katy - what's up with these two then?? As for players reading this stuff - many of them do (if they don't, then why do I get PM's from some??). Katy won 45-0 - that is a pretty impressive win and in my opinion, defense wins championships. If you have the defense, the offense will click at some point and I understand that the negative comments towards the offense were made "within the family" but the Katy board is public as well and many unwanted "relatives" show up to read as well;) . I think we all get a little too comfy behind those keyboards sometimes.

First and foremost, don’t consider yourself part of the Katy family. Your NOT!
You truly are obsessed with Katy; otherwise you wouldn’t keep dragging Katy into a Bryan/Cy Falls thread and running over to our board and then posting what we say on here like some high school girl. You need to get a life outside of Katy, focus on Falls.

[ktCarl]

WOW, Train!! I was going to say post #3 by supercentex was the most blistering comment of Cy-Falls(and Bryan) than any other post in here. But you just topped it!!

I read Fleeman's post, and it seemed ambiguous at worst. Sounded like he expected CF to win and wondered what happened. Dynasty's post wasn't until after your "unpleasant" post. I posted what I thought was a fairly reasonable explanation, and you chose to ignore it. It just seems to me that more Katy fans (myself included) have been friendly/respectful and/or at least civil towards Falls posters. Instead of posting something that is an indictment of the entire Katy group, why not just put the one or two "hostile" posters on "ignore", literally or figuratively. Otherwise you may find you have alienated those who have been supportive of you and your team by letting your anger at one or two rule your decisions. I hope you take this in the spirit it was written. I really do. :(

As for getting too comfortable behind the keyboards, I make an effort to not say anything here that I wouldn't say in person. There are people here who know me face to face. As for the "unpleasant ones", I think they would also probably say those things to your face. My guess is they just say what they think, consequences be d***ed. ;)

I never ever considered myself part of the Katy "family" and really, don't flatter yourself so much. I am an Eagle ONLY...nothing else. I am not obsessed by Katy at all - this is a Cy Falls thread that a couple of Katy fans chose to highjack. I don't even think we will be meeting this year and I believe Katy is probably going to state - that doesn't bother me at all and good luck to you all. When we went to state, there was a small group of very classy Katy fans who were very nice about it and even treated us to breakfast before the game. That's class - not what you have posted here.

Right now, I am more concerned with our QB and Westfield. Now, while I admit I'm not a fan of Katy - never was and never will be - I did enjoy the friendships while they lasted. It wasn't until I heard some of the things I've heard recently and the emails I received that I turned around. And it keeps up - Fleeman and Dynasty (and possibly you) - those are your boys....not the rwillebys, miss kittys, 2000's, etc. They are class acts all the way.

As for the comment on one of these posts about "supporting us" - the only support this team needs comes in green and gold only.

[Owned05]

Well I don't know about any of yall, but I'll be in attendance to watch Falls get spanked by Westfield Friday night at Pridgeon.

[Fleeman93]

Not a chance at all Owned! Falls' coaching will pull out this win without a doubt!

[t00 playa]

wow... the win over katy by falls really divided the two in a negative way.... maybe its just school spirit, maybe its competition.... then again... maybe its personal.... but on the outside looking in... its pretty entertaining.. i just hope no one gets their feelings hurt too bad....:eek:

Any question now as to what the intentions are?

I agree with KtCarl. Time to lock this out. Some Katy posters have turned it ugly. Let's move on.

[t00 playa]

in before another lock :eek:

[twcpfan1]

CFMom and Fleeman were probably sweethearts in another lifetime :D

Actually, it began in '05 when Falls ALMOST beat Katy. That was not accepted very well. In '06 when Falls actualy WON it turned really ugly. Has gone downhill ever since.

But, what I want to know is why are we talking about Katy on a Bryan/Falls thread?:confused:

And why is this thread allowed to continue?:confused:

There isn't really anything in the thread that warrants locking yet. People have made snide and backhanded remarks but the language has been civil so far.

Right. Let it go until the Katy posters push the Falls posters into firing back and then lock it out. That's the way it usually works on here.

Ok, then stop posting on this board if that's the way you see things. It's that easy.

I'm pretty sure Rivals has a Texas high school football website and forums that might suit you better. I don't think theres any Katy posters over there, so you shouldn't be 'pushed' to 'fire back'.

There's a different message board for guys like that. http://5atxfbextra.tk/

Check it out.

And what's this about Katy posters 'beating' Cy Falls posters. I wasn't aware this was a competition. I guess I better step up my game?

Focus, people. Focus!

Congrats to Bryan! You have a very tough, physical and talented team that is well coached. If the players listen to the coach this year, they will make some noise. We had a lot of players limping off the field last Friday. Hope you did not do too much damage!

When the game is 2 hours away and I can't possibly get there in time, I pretty much have no choice. I had to opt for the Morton Ranch/Cy Springs game - but I was there in spirit:D . The only other game I'll miss this year will be Strake because I'm going to visit my daughter in New York City (in my case, family comes before ALL of this - sorry). Other than that, not missing any more and, yes, I will be there Friday - I don't care that we are playing one of the "best" teams in the state!!

Cavalierdad - that comment about me and Fleeman - that's just not right:rolleyes:. It was at least TWO lifetimes ago:p

Just for the record - sometimes I just get caught in the wrong mood when I'm reading these things and sometimes take it way too seriously as do many others on here. I just have to learn to "step away from the keyboard":o

I think the whole thing is pretty ridiculous. I don't wish bad things on Falls because they won last year and went to state. I hope they keep producing good teams because Region 3 needs every bit of that it can get. I have a competitive streak like everyone else, but move on already. Crimenee Pete.
