GHS-Garland High School

[garlandowl08]

Ok, i just wanted to start an official and difinitave GHS thread. I figure we're going to end up debating just about everything this year (be it "recruiting" or calls by the refs, or how bad we spank a certain team, whatever.). This is the place to do it because we end up with fewer Garland threads in total so all the people on here who don't want to read about us can just skip over it.

Go for it and in the words of ThEgReAtOnE, "Have fun and play nice!"

Based on what you've seen and heard about JT, what do you think your match up will be like against them if you see them in Bi-district?

[garlandowl08]

I actually haven't read much on them except that one "JT info" thread. From the sounds of it (weel at least according to that most likely biased fan), it will be a good game. If they really are on par with Dallas Carter, thye will definately give us a run for our money. If Katy and SLC do go Div-I, our road to state becomes much easier and we have a legit shot at winning it. **From here on out is speculation from how the season looks right now** We will likely have a rematch with Carter after JT and that will be a really good game, then Copperas or Leander (in my opinion the 2 best of the 4 we might play). I don't think we've played either Copperas or LEander, especailly not in recent years so who know about that...then comes a biggie, Longview or Lufkin...both teams are very good and will give us a major run for our money...if we can not go all the way, I think we will either lose to Carter, in this round or in the state finals (but if we get to state, I don't thinkwe'll lose it). THe other side of the bracket looks much weaker to me...SV is the only standout team that i read as I scanned it.

[GTown02]

Would love to play JT again... and would love to have a rematch with Carter! :D. But, IF garland gets far enough into the playoffs that they have to play Lufkin or Longview( unless L'View goes D1), I wouldnt see a win... Garland needs to improve on all aspects of their game before that happens...

[owlfan 1]

JT - Garland would be a good matchup - speed vs. speed. Garland may have a little more offensive firepower, but, not really knowing that much about JT it's hard to make an intelligent prediction...

Who knows what will happen in that district? Lee will still have something to say, I beleive...

[Garland02]

I listened to some of the TJT vs Mesquite broadcast the other night, TJT's offense went thru Mesquite like a hot knife thru butter. Garland still has to improve on all facets of their game before playoff time to make some noise, but they do have alot of talent. They need to get focused, and more discipline.

[garlandowl08]

Does anybody know anything about the Louisiana "stud" we supposeldy have good for us although I suppose it was an unfortunate situation for him.

[GarlandOwl06]

The guy we got is not from lousianna but from Port Arthur Texas. The last i heard though is that he and his family are moving back because of a situation were his grades can not be transfered or something and could end up failing. This kids name is Richard Alexander. He is in Dave Cambells magazines under Port Arthurs players to watch.

[owldog]

What kind of injury did Malcolm Willimas have?

[gtowndrumma]

just to make sure everyone knows.... tomorrows game against north, we are on the visitors side

[garlandowl08]

WEll, that means there may not be as big a turnout as i thought, but sometimes I don't really mind that. The dedicated fans make all teh noise anyway and it was crowded to an almost scary extent at the south game.

[Stranglehold]

I think this could turn in to a pretty good game. If Garland shows up to play I believe they are the much better team. However North Garland has so much offensive firepower that if the owls are not ready it could be a barnburner just like last year.

NG stands no chance.... Saw them lay down for Rowlett couple of weeks ago.. It was disgraceful..

[GarlandOwl06]

What was the final score in the Lakeview-Sachse game? :D

[garlandowl08]

If I'm not mistaken it was 35-10 Lakeview...maybe rough can be my fact-checker...

[G-WHAT06]

I think that we have this game in the bag, but we can't underestimate them, because if we are too cocky and our head is not in the game then they will take it. Their offense is descent, but Their linebackers may get us.

[G-WHAT06]

Oh yeah who do we get back when we play Rowlett?... That's right big number 40 Dante Sloan. I can't wait to see him wreck on those boys.
:D

[garlandowl08]

Garland wins, 24-6. We didn't look that great at times, but overall I'mproud of the owls...tehy took care of business.

[GarlandOwl06]

A few good drives. I STILL DONT UNDERSTAND THESE SUBSITUTIONS!?!?!?! Can somebody explain some of the stuff we do. Our 2nd string defense being in with they scored, Wooten sitting the bench the whole 2nd quarter after driving us down for a touchdown in the first???

[garlandowl08]

All I can think of is that we wanted everyone to stay healthy and well rested that way we could make a comeback if necessary...I think we were prepared to win a close one if it meant getting mor eplaying time for 2nd and 3rd stringers and keeping starters healthy...

[GarlandOwl06]

Yea I guess so I just know whats running through those coaches heads sometimes. I hope they dont think we can do this stuff in the playoffs. So North beat Rockwall earlier in the year and Rockwall lost to Longview by 2...its starting to look like we could meet Longview in the first round if they lost TJ.

[G-WHAT06]

I think that we should have been more focussed, and that the coaches were idiots to put in our second string when we were up by seven points. But we did pull it out, and we are 3-0 now. I'm just upset that we had so many penalties. but over all it was a good game for us, lets keep it up.

[owlfan 1]

Garland has been rolling in the second string throughout games for 12 years. It is simply the way they do things. It can be frustrating at times, but it is nothing new.

Ever wonder why Garland always seems to have so much depth - why, when a key player goes down, there always seems to be someone ready to step in? It is because they have all gotten significant playing time. Don't look for that to change any time soon...

And rotating players in constantly keeps people fresher for the 4th quarter; when its time to buckle down and finish the game strong...

I dont agree with rotating player in like that. If the first string is playing great let em keep playing... but if thats the way the coaches want to run the game, so be it :).

[G-WHAT06]

And rotating players in constantly keeps people fresher for the 4th quarter; when its time to buckle down and finish the game strong...

This is all true, the four years that I have been there, I have seen this. But what do you think will happen when we get number 40 back? But Stubbs didn't play the first half and Jeremy barely got any playing time, these are two key players. Do you think that they will substitute players for Dante during the game? Maybe a couple of times, but not too much more than that.

[owlfan 1]

Stubbs is still out because of grades, or am I wrong?

Jeremy is nursing an injury, and the O line has been rotating all year.

When Dante was playing, they were subbing other backs in, just like always. I don't look for that to change.

I agree with you - I want to see the best players on the field, but it is hard to argue with the success they have had with the substitution policy.

[owlbandad]

Earlier in the year if you could stop Dante Sloan that was all you had to do to beat Garland. When Dante gets back that won't be the case anymore. I won't be surprised if he gets more minutes, fewer carries, and just as many yards.

I apologize I was just talking to Stubbs so that mixed me up, Wooten made a touchdown and then didn't go back in until the second half, I can't remember when. But I had no idea that the big man Jeremy was out b/c of an injury, I thought that the coaches had subbed him out to give other players a chance on the field. Their subbing policy is paying off, but if the players are capable I want to see the First stringers in the game, some of the second stringers don't think enough and make small mistakes that can be costly.

[owlfan 1]

:D

No need to apologize - I was just seeking clarification.

Jeremy was not out - but I think the coaches were helping him take it easy tonight. No sense getting the big man hurt - we need him...

By the way, welcome to the board. The more Garland fans we have, the better...

[G-WHAT06]

Thanks for the warm welcome, I understand the need to take it easy when a player is injured, and I want everyone to get a chance to play b/c they have earned the right to play, but some of the calls were a little maddening, not just substitutions, but plays as well. On the sub issue, as I said earlier I want everyone to get a chance to play, but if a person is capable and more experienced don't take them out so early. But some of the plays were not good calls. Such as running it up the middle on a third and long, or pitching right three times in a row. But we did come out with the W so I say good job everybody, now lets get ready for the next one!

[GoOwls]

Something I noticed from the get-go was that Buddy Brumitt was dressed but on the sideline all game. Was he hurt and held in reserve, or a discipline deal?

Anyway, with him out and #68 Kennedy getting limited snaps, and #9 Williams at wide out and Sloan at RB all out, we trotted out a skeleton offense and still won pretty easily. Also, with Wooten playing mostly RB due to Sloan being out, it spreads the depth of the secondary out a bit since #9 Williams plays a lot of DB also. We also only had 1 unsportsmanlike call, and 1 late hit, which is an improvement. The team seemed to be a bit calmer this week and not so "celebratory".

Bottom line, the team has performed fairly well during the last few games, especially with so many guys out. It encourages me a bit to think how much better we can be when the hurt and disqualified players get back, if they can control their emotions. That's all up to the coach.

All good points. About Buddy, he missed the whole week of practice because he was sick but then he felt better Friday and said he could play in the game but the coaches wanted to punish him for not practicing so they made him sit the whole first half out. At CB Malcolm was starting the last few weeks and this week Dwight filled in for him and for the most part did a really good job! He had gotten some playing time earlier in the year so he was used to it. (Like you said OwlFan, playing time means experience) At the start of the game North was really firing it to his side. In my opinion though, for us to be 3-0 in district without our starting stud RB, a starting OL and Malcolm hurt is pretty dang good! It hasnt been pretty at times but we've had guys step out and we've pulled em out. Are we sure yet if Donte will be back for Sachse? I've heard a lot of different things. He will DEFINETLY be back for Rowlett which is good news considering thats the game for district.

[owldog]

I said this on another thread but I have to say it here, have some faith in Garland Coaches

When you are in the playoffs and you have a "starter" get hurt you do not want their back up to be inexperienced. This was the perfect game to let some players get some experience. Also how much did you want Rowlette coaches and players to see. They were off and I think the whole Rowlette football team and coaching staff was at the game.

Also maybe some punishment for the penalties against South. Some of those starters to sit the bench. HMMMM

[owlbandad]

...Also maybe some punishment for the penalties against South. Some of those starters to sit the bench. HMMMM

Maybe it's not just punishment. Maybe it's prevention. Sit the guys who are out of control. Maybe it worked. Garland 8-55, North 6-48. After North had their "striped shirt drive" Garland didn't give up many yards on penalties.

[gtowndrumma]

Donte and Stubbs wont play for Sachse because it is a thursday game and they dont regain elegibility till 2:30 on Friday

[GarlandOwl06]

Lakeview. HA! :p

Some of your people who get on here are complete morons. You won 24-6 and are pissing and moaning about some kids that are probably really good kids that got the opportunity to get in a game early instead of trash time. Anyone that has ever watched Garland play knows that they play a lot of kids. It is part of the reason they have been so successful. Lots of kids playing means two main things. You have lots of kids that are prepared and it creates better team chemistry. If you had watched the game carefully you would have probably noticed those same kids you are moaning about were in quite often. The fact that North Garland scored was not so much a fact of who was in the game but more that that drive started somewhere around the Garland 30 yard line. Get a life......find something else to whine about. The fact that you are 15-16 yrs old or so and can get on this board to criticize others does not make you a man. My guess is that if any of you were real players or had been real players at any point in your life you would see the value of not playing the same 11 players all the time. :D

[GarlandOwl06]

I guess.... I hate when people try to use age as a credability factor. Noone is saying that we are not happy with the win but pointing out some things that are a little worrisome that we hope we do not do when we start playing better teams such as rowlett. Noone is "pissing and moaning" just discussing with each other some things we liked and did not like. I mean it was a 7-0 game when we had backup defense in when they scored so we are just saying had the starters been in they probly would not have scored. Then the offensive series after that in a 7-6 game we put in our sophmore QB which yes i know we like to put him in for a couple series a game but just suggesting to do it when we have a little more of a coushion on the score bored. We did a ton of things great though, as long as we are getting wins without some of our start players hey im happy. Im sorry that we offended you by talking and discussing the football game with each other getting everyones opinions on a highschool football forum. By the way i heard the Garland Rowlett game could be broadcasted???? Is this true since we do play on a thursday or is this just bogus rumors??

[GoOwls]

A reminder to those who were there and forgot, or were too young to remember, but Coach Martin rotated the heck out of his players the 1999 championship year, and the present coach was one of his assistants, so it's not unusual that he is copying his ideas trying to find the same success.

In 1999, we rotated 4 of 5 linemen each 6 plays, no matter where we were on the field, the #2 QB got each 3rd series, except for the last half of the State Chanpionship game, the D-line substituted 2 or 3 guys each 4-6 plays, DB's 1 or 2 each 4-6 plays, wide-outs or RB's brought in plays, and on and on. He did it in the state championship game too. He had 40 guys who were ready to play and plug holes each game.

I hope coach keeps doing the rotating as I don't think we are as deep as previous years and those guys need meaningful playing time to help them if needed in the playoffs due to injury.

Strangehold,

Be quiet ;) Ain't it funny???? Owls turn on themselves when there is no one else to stoke the fire... They'll complain... complain.....complain..... Sit back and enjoy, it doesn't get any better than this....
Check out the post where one of them is complaining about the ref's giving NG there touchdown.... Owls, man they are wise :rolleyes:

[Roughrider]

Lakeview. HA! :p


But at least we can grow with dignity.... You don't hear us complaing and moaning.... constantly laying blame on something or someone....

Hey, you boys are talking about getting your studs back from grades??? Finally find someone to do their work?? :D

[GoOwls]

Hey Rough, lookin' forward to our little scrimmage against your boys. Our second and third teamers need the work before the playoffs. :D

You never know what will happen in a football game. If you have made the decision to play someone and then keep putting it off until the game is in hand, what have you accomplished? Number one if you do that, more times than not the game will not ever be decided early and you spend the whole game playing your starters and you don't play very many kids. Secondly what do you you do when your starter gets injured or nicked or tired? Sometimes that # 2 player will be just as good as your #1. It could be due to being rested, uninjured or just a fresh shot of adrenaline coming into the game. I firmly believe that if you put off playing kids that deserve to play--They seldom will get to. But that is just my opinion. The other thing is, I am not offended by you voicing your opinions on this board. However, you sound like you have an affiliation with the GHS football program. Point being why don't you go discuss some of these "concerns" that you have with your coaches and then post your coaches response on this board?

Hey Roughy:
Hate to disappoint you but I am an owl from WAY, WAY back. My problem is you can't make most GHS fans happy. No matter what happens there is some criticism. You play that same game at NG, SG, Rowlett, Naaman, Lakeview and yes Sachse(no offense) and EVERYONE walks away happy to have a win with no injuries and lots of kids playing. But at GHS you are held to a different standard and I just don't like it. Good luck to you guys this Thursday.

That game is not played at near the same level as GHS takes it.....

Oh, I must have forgotten or not picked up on you being an Ollie.... Doesn't matter, they go at it better when it's between their same kind :p
Was being somewhat sarcastic in telling you to be quiet.... Feel free to throw gas on the fire anytime...

I will throw gas on my own kind if I feel the situation dictates it.

[GarlandOwl06]

Im not saying that the rotating is bad its just we need to do it at more appropriate times like when we have more than a 7 point lead. I think its great we rotate players to give them some rest when we are in a game which we controlled most of the time. And yes i do remember the state year when we had basically 2 offenses lines that would rotate in and out everyother series we just had so much depth on both lines that year with all state center craig jones as a junior, marcus parker, gerrald mills.... and so on i wish we had that kinda depth on the o-line this year but i think we definately have a good enough line with everyone healthy... it doesnt hurt to have #40 helping you look good tooo.

So rough since your stangs got beaten by lakeview are you a patriot fan now or what. I get confused with all the teams you cheer for, seems like you are just trying to cheer for anyone that goes against garland :rolleyes:

[garlandowl08]

Garland vs. Sachse...good cahnce for a blowout and excellent chance for more playing time for 2 nd and 3rd stringers...maybe even promising JV prospects.

[GarlandOwl06]

What i want to see from this game is just conistancy and execution. If we keep doin what we have been doin with the offense (spreading it around using the tight ends in the pass while using devin, voss, and j-woo in the backfield) and keep our penalties down. We know the defense for the most part should dominate and hopefully know injuries occur.

P.S. this is the last game we have to play without dante in the backfield which is so good to here.

[bleedgreen]

Yea I guess so I just know whats running through those coaches heads sometimes. I hope they dont think we can do this stuff in the playoffs. So North beat Rockwall earlier in the year and Rockwall lost to Longview by 2...its starting to look like we could meet Longview in the first round if they lost TJ.
now, now---let's not go completely banannas, garland06..............

[GoOwls]

Yep, those numbers games can really come back to bite you.

[owldad]

It should be very obvious why Joe Martin subbed the way he did...because he had enough talent to field 2-3 teams on that one team. He is/was no dummy. He subbed with what he knew he could get away with. I do think Jordan sometimes takes it to the extreme, but it's his team so more power to him.

I have been "inactive" on this board for quite a while, but it is kind of humorous to see how things such as topics, complaints, opinions, etc. have not changed.(some of the "schtick" has become somewhat stale though) Garland Owl football still has the same strengths and weaknesses. Maybe that is a sign of stability and a good program. Just keep winning Owls, so it will give some of the less fortunate something to be jealous of and complain about!!!

[G-WHAT06]

Does anyone else want Rowlett to come into the game next thursday undefeated?... I was talking to some of the players and they want Rowlett to be undefeated, so it would be a crucial game. All of the players are super excited for this game. What does everyone think about this? :confused:

[owldad]

There is nothing better than 2 undefeated's playing for the championship. Especially since Rowlett has never done this before. I live in Rowlett and the excitement and expectation is tremendous. Garland needs Rowlett to be undefeated to bring out their best. I have seen too many past Owl teams play down to their competition. Besides that, it is great to see some new blood enjoying the thrill of playoff football.

What about that TE, Ryan Parker(?)? I have only been to 1 game this year and he got his hands on the ball twice. (which is 2 times more than the TE saw last year!) He seemed to have soft hands and ran well after the catch. Is he a regular part of the O?

[GarlandOwl06]

With two of our biggest playmakers on offense out, we have had to become more versatile in our offense and yes we have been throwing to the TEs finally. I love seeing us do this because it gives us another option in our pass game since our TEs have shown they can catch the ball. I hope we continue to utilize them in the offense

[grayowl60]

I think that we should have been more focussed, and that the coaches were idiots to put in our second string when we were up by seven points. But we did pull it out, and we are 3-0 now. I'm just upset that we had so many penalties. but over all it was a good game for us, lets keep it up.
At the ennis game, the people around me were complaining about Sloan not being in on every series. The game was close. Look what happened! In the 4th with about two min. left on our 20, third and twenty. We had trouble with the Ennis passing all night. Sloan takes the ball and looks like he just got off the bus. Hope they keep "platooning". IT WORKS!

Wow! You figured me out.... Garland has all the advantages of the oldest school in the district with all the perks (administration, all the enrolling students that are of any athletic ability seem to end up there no matter where there attendance zone is?? And attendance zone does matter once you've met the ethnic numbers) Yet ollies still seem to complain and come up with their excuses!! Man, and I thought I was keeping it a secret :rolleyes:

Rough, I could choose to take on your whole post, but I don't have enought time, or the desire to do so, so I'll focus on your point about being the oldest school in town being an advantage.

I realize that some of the team I'm about to mention have had sporadic success over the last 20-30 years, but in general have had less success that other newer schools in their city or less that acceptable success than they have experienced in the past.

Amarillo, Lubbock, El Paso, San Angelo, Witchita Falls, Denton, McKinney, Paris, Waco, Austin, R.L. Turner, Plano, Odessa, Midland,......etc., etc. I could go on, but some schools I'm not sure if there is another school in town now and I'm not at all familiar with most of South Texas' school disrticts.

I think that most of the folks from those towns I mentioned wouldn't agree that being the oldest school is an advantage. Remember, Garland sucked from about 1972 through 1991, with the exception of 1978, 79, and 87. If Garland was recruiting how did we have 20 years of mostly poor teams, while Homer was still in charge, as he is today. When I went to Garland from 1973-76, Garland was by far the least desirable school to go to. It was considered old and, bluntly put, too populated by minorities for the "upper crust" to send their kids to.

Homer is still there and you can't explain the 20 year gap, that he surely wouldn't have allowed if he was recruiting.

The difference was Joe Martin and his agressive, winning style of ball that won kids over to choosing the school and we still are reaping the benefits today. However, I've seen the JV and the Frosh. and the talent level seems to be depleeting. If something doesn't change, you will probably get your wish of Garland being an also-ran in a few years.

There is nothing better than 2 undefeated's playing for the championship. Especially since Rowlett has never done this before. I live in Rowlett and the excitement and expectation is tremendous. Garland needs Rowlett to be undefeated to bring out their best. I have seen too many past Owl teams play down to their competition. Besides that, it is great to see some new blood enjoying the thrill of playoff football.

What about that TE, Ryan Parker(?)? I have only been to 1 game this year and he got his hands on the ball twice. (which is 2 times more than the TE saw last year!) He seemed to have soft hands and ran well after the catch. Is he a regular part of the O?

I am extremely excited about the upcoming game with Rowlett. I think it is a good experience for Rowlett to be a part of. Garland will be prepared as ever to take an uncontested District Championship, this will be the game of the year for 11-5A.

I agree to a certain extent about our TEs. Parker is an extremely large (6'4", 235) TE with alot of strength to push back defenders and has amazing hands to back them up when necessary. He catches as well as Jeff Samardzija of ND, but Parker doesn't get many chances since he is on a running team wth a mediocre passer. Definitely be watching Parker to make the big plays when our team needs him. Teams are so wary of the run that they leave the TE to drag the middle unopposed.

As far as TEs being good.. let's say Parker's the best we have. Sr. Andrew Kirk (6'1", 210) is a good DE, and that's where he need to remain. Parker is NOT the starting TE, Kirk is, Parker and Kirk trade off between drives.

But, how many schools existed in the late 70's?? Made the choice of schools a little eaiser.. 7 high schools and a dozen middle schools make it a little interesting??? Please, how many of the other schools walk out of their fieldhouse into their stadium??? But I know the drill, ain't going to meet an Owl that doesn't believe they have an uphill battle against all odds, no help, not enought athletes, and the refs are horrible :D
Same ole' same ole'! :cool:

[Garland02]

Wow! You figured me out.... Garland has all the advantages of the oldest school in the district with all the perks (administration, all the enrolling students that are of any athletic ability seem to end up there no matter where there attendance zone is?? And attendance zone does matter once you've met the ethnic numbers) Yet ollies still seem to complain and come up with their excuses!! Man, and I thought I was keeping it a secret :rolleyes:

So why do you figure GHS struggles so much in baseball and basketball? Over the last 10 years, the only sports Garland dominates in are Football and softball.

This year, you get to enjoy the volleyball playoffs! :)

Against Roughie and all the Garland haters we cant win tonight

1. If Sachse wins then all of our great talent lost to their second year program.

2. If we win big, then its our cocky attitude and large rude mouths beating a classy second year program who is doing well to have done as good as they have...supposedly.

3. If we win in a close one...Roughie will take what he likes from 1 and 2.

Even if we dont commit a penalty or say a word to the other team, Sachse fans will hate Garland by the end of this game - win or lose. If they win they will feel almighty and lord over us for the next year, if they lose, then its just those arrogant Owls doing what they always do. I really think that we treat our teams with pretty good class (save South). What fans on this message board or the students of the school say does not represent the football team.

Until you are down on the field hearing what is said by both teams, I dont think any generalizations can be made about a team by its football-nerd message boarders.

Let them play tonight - whoever wins - they deserve it. But try not to make excuses for losses or not large enough wins.

I'm tired of having people criticize Garland for not winning a state championship again...whats wrong with just being good and staying that way? Many programs would kill for the Owls' success since '92. Tonight if we pass poorly or block poorly or allow yardage on defense - if we win...at least give us some credit. We would be beating a 5-2 team Roughie...doesnt that count for something? I am not against Sachse in the least. Do I think they will win? No, they do not have the speed that Garland has - even without Malcolm and Donte.


I rarely post here but I was aggravated enough by the double-standard to which Garland is held to restrain myself any longer.

[GarlandOwl06]

well I talked to a couple of the administrators from texasprepxtra.com and they agreed that garland was a very classy program....they went on to say they could not believe how people were accusing garland of being unclassy and that the ennis fans and coaches always talked how garland was very classy but hear me i am not trying to stir the pot just commenting on what black and gold said. About tonight, I hope that we do not come out sluggish against sachse tonight but rather come out knowing we just gotta come out and take care of business.

[Black&Gold06]

Believe me - I think Garland is a classy program...anything I said in the previous post is meant to be what Rough and others with his point of view would think.

I actually think you make some good points.. But you lost me with the double standard thing??? Garland, a double standard??? I simply would like an Ollie to stand up and say, yes we have an advantage, we are the oldest school, we have 90 percent GHS support throughout the major administrative support staff... That's the way it is, deal with it... I could at least respect that... No, Ollies wish to have others look at them with sympathy because they get screwed by the ref or coach isn't doing the right thing or on and on and on.....
That's all :D

You're right about the championship thing and the jealousy by Rough and his cohorts. I noticed on a site recently where since 1986, Garland has the 8th most wins and the 5th best winning percentage of teams in Region 2. That's a stat that begins 6 years before Martin came here, it must be better than that since 1992.

OK Rough, we have all the advantages and if Sachse can somehow struggle to a 40 point loss tonight it will be a major moral victory for you guys over the Darth Vader-like oppressors from evil Garland High. You happy now, LAHHOOOOOO ZAAHEEERRRR!!!!! :D

Do we get the respect now for being honest? :D

[owlfan 1]

Template of responses that would please Roughie:

In event of win:
Because of the unfair advantages that Garland High has over everyone else, the Owls crushed a less fortunate opponent last night. Although the poor, underprivileged foe fought valiantly, the mean, arrogant, classless Owls pushed, intimidated, whined and cheated their way to victory. Victory was a given, of course, because Garland is the oldest school in the district, has their fieldhouse located right on the grounds of Williams stadium, and has the support of the majority of GISD administrators. Most of the players who scored and made good plays in the game should have attended other schools but were illegally recruited to come to Garland, therefore all Owl fans should be ashamed and embarrased by the teams success. GHS coaches and GISD administrators were seen after the game participating in a Satanic ritual designed to bring about further Owl success. Those not participating in the ritual were dispatched to the homes of promising middle school players with the express purpose of blackmailing and brainwashing their parents into sending them to GHS.

In the event of a loss:
Justice was served last night when the nasty and evil Garland Owls fell to a much more deserving, pristine and classy team. Owls fans were seen to stand and cheer for the opposing team as they were overcome with the realization of how Garland has cheated their way to success in the past and is getting their just deserts. There were several questionable calls by the officials throughout the game that went against the Owls, but Garland is so dispicable and wicked that they deserve every bad break they get. Shamed faced GISD administrators walked with heads bowed into the darkness of the Williams stadium parking lot, horrified by the realization that the team that they had been pulling behind the scene strings for for years and years fell to one of the underprivileged serfs of the GISD. Following the game, the Owls field house was bulldozed - the team will hereafter practice in the vacant lot across from Sellers Middle School.

Owl fans please refer to these templates so as to please Roughie and the other Garland haters. Thank you for your cooperation.

I dont understand........ Most everyone on Garlands football team is from either Sellers, Bussey, or Austin and your telling me those are not feeders into Garland????????

On behalf of tonights crushing of sachse i was very pleased with the game. Great offensive balance, great defense, great coaching, I though the refs were very good and made good calls all night. We continued to utilize different players in our short yardage passing game and is looking like it is becoming more effecient even though there are a couple of little bits to get better on. Overall good game to players and coaches and bad loss for sachse who has now dropped three in a row. See what happens when you start to play real football teams.

Rough, the kid got it wrong. This is tough to admit to Rough (poet and didn't know it), but 21 of the kids, including 12 starters, on the 9th grade team failed. They thought they were a bit smarter than they were. They thought they had the system beat and it bit them back. I hope they learned a lesson, we'll see next year. There is a bunch of talent on that squad, I only hope we get a chance to see it.

The JV is not really very good. They play well because theyare coached well, but I didn't see much talent coming up. The 9th grade class must supply it, and we know what they did, huh?

Rough, you been listening to too many frustrated fans of losing squads. One of my best friends and working buddys' kid is a monster lineman for the 9th grade team. Most of the starters for that squad have played together at Austin or Bussey or the feeder elementary schools since 4th grade. Some of the starters came to Garland because the South coaches were pressuring them so much to come to their school, it turned them off and went to Garland. Two fathers almost came to blows over the harrassment of South coaches. They will deny it, by that is the story I hear. Also, from the horses mouth, my friends kid went to Austin through the 7th grade, but it being an academy an all, he missed the qualifying grade by a couple of points and had to go to Brandenburg for the 8th grade. As choice of school time came around, the South coaches started showing up to "recruit" the players. This kid has always wanted to be an Owl and didn't want to talk to the South coaches. But they kept bugging him and implying that if he didn't go to South, he was a traitor to the players at Brandenburg. My friend had to go threaten the South staff with legal action if they didn't quit harrassing his kid.

You can point your crooked little finger at us all you want, but it just reeks of jealousy as all the schools "recruit' in a district that has a "Freedom of Choice" format.

BTW, Rough, in a previous post you criticise Garland for having their field house at Williams Stadium. Well, since GHS is landlocked by residences and businesses, there isn't a place, on campus, for us to practice. I remember when I was in school, the football players always griped about how great the players at North or South had it by being able to pratice on campus and not have to drive to practice in the morning, to school, and back to practice in the afternoon. The GISD showed they had learned a lesson, by including practice facilities at all HS's built from SG in 1964 on till today. I guess since we have no choice but to practice at Williams, you would just prefer that we didn't practice at all.......that would help all the other teams have a chance to win I guess, wouldn't it, including your ponies.

Oh, thanks for caling me on my mistake, I hate "knowing" faulty information. It's kind of sad but the freshman classes for IB students weren't that hard last year. I guess many of the football players aren't IB, but even if some are, I have heard that the English teacher (who was a complete blowoff last year) has become a bit of a stickler.

Well, since GHS is landlocked by residences and businesses, there isn't a place, on campus, for us to practice. I remember when I was in school, the football players always griped about how great the players at North or South had it by being able to pratice on campus and not have to drive to practice in the morning, to school, and back to practice in the afternoon. The GISD showed they had learned a lesson, by including practice facilities at all HS's built from SG in 1964 on till today. I guess since we have no choice but to practice at Williams, you would just prefer that we didn't practice at all.......that would help all the other teams have a chance to win I guess, wouldn't it, including your ponies.

It's official!!! You got to be on 'CRACK'!! First of all, isn't Brandenburg a Lakeview feeder??? You for one minute don't think Flint Risen would have walked in Souths fieldhouse if he even thought they were trying to jack his kids (at that time) of course.... Next, that is interesting how you refer to Brandenburg as Owl territory??? Hmmm, seems to prove my point :rolleyes:
Yeah, and I could tell you of kid after kid that has told me about Owl coaches (calling them by name) that have showed up in their neighborhood, even at their house (from non GHS feeders of course)... But we won't talk names as a matter of respect!!
How freaking embarassing would is that for a coaching staff to have 21 failures... The fact that you would get on here and state that is shocking!! Man, 21?? Study hall, after school tutorials any of that exist on the Owls campus ;)
Please, try and sell your lies somewhere else!!!

[garlandowl08]

I don't know about the validity of the statements about recruiting, but if im not mistaken, he said the student went to Austin, which is a GHS feeder and was forced to go to Brandenburg, (neither a garland or south feeder from the sounds of it). Apparently the student already wanted to go to GHS so as long as he turned in his choice of school for on time, he could go there.

About the failure rate. Having gone to Austin with the grade below me (now the fish at garland with grade troubles), Iknow for a fact that they prefer to socialize than to work...this being said, there are many moe football players in IB classes than you might think. I think I can safely say that you did not graduate from a high school with IB so you should not speak on how hard it is to fail. Even with tutorials etc, it is entirely possible to fail a Pre-IB class. It has not happened to me, but one or more of my friends have been in that predicament. Go through the IB program and then you can talk about failing. :D

rough is a lonely lonely man.........sachse is trash.....just stop talking you are embarassing yourself.....i really wish you would just say who you are and then me and the fellas would just got to your house and get a few licks in....u are pretty frail......d sloan is back......phil sirois 2004__"GAME OVER!"

[GoOwls]

Christ son, go through college, grad school and get your PhD and then you can talk to me about being hard or failing classes...

Rough, if you got a PhD, it sure wasn't in reading comprehension. Maybe you should try R-E-A-D-I-N-G C-A-R-E-F-U-L-L-Y what folks write before you write a response and look foolish, but then again, I'm sure you're used to that.

I never said Brandenburg was a Garland feeder. I said the kid went there because he didn't qualify for Austin Academy and his dad didn't want him at Sam Houston, which was his neighborhood school, to elaborate a little, and he chose Brandenburg because he knew some of the coaches. The kid was very much recruited by the South coaches, to the point of harrassment, and I don't personally care if you buy it or not. Go check out the rolls at South and see how many 9th graders on the football team went to the Lakeview feeder Brandenburg....of course you won't, because I'm right and you know it.

Rough, I've only had 48 hours or so at Richland and Eastfield, and my writing and comprehension seems much more advanced that yours, or maybe it's that Garland High ed-ja-ma-ca-tion that has sprung me past you.

I don't know where you paid for.....uh.....got your PhD from, but I'd strongly consider giving it back, getting my money back, getting revenge on the cheating creeps, or any combination of the above.

Remember......a mind is a terrible thing. :D

BTW, why didn't you chose to respond to my point about why Garland's field house is at Williams? What's wrong.....truth got your toungue?

PhD my a$$.

If we gonna check enrollment ( you boys dang sure wouldn't want that to happen) it would be interesting to see who went to where???
Also, my bright one, where did I say that I had a PhD??? I said," once you go through and get one you can talk to me!! Reading comprehension??? Hmmmm.............. I must have missed your response about Garlands fieldhouse?? Do me a favor and send it back my way....jump boy, jump.... :D

[gtownniggewhat]

Oh sweet rough.....i promise everyone that he is at least 50 pounds overweight and enjoys eating and watching minors play football......thats real lonely.....i hope you get real sad when you read this and realize how fat and nasty you are.....garland is raw....dont get mad cause sachse is terrible at everything but cheerleading

Feel free to keep fighting, but does anyone have any analysis or anything of substance to say about the game thursday or the upcoming game against Rowlett?

I shouldn't have to post it again......see what I mean about the comprehension thing? Look, just scroll back up a few posts, heck, it may even be on the previous page. It's there for all those who can read their diplomas to see.

In a literary sense, I'm sure you understand that term, when you laid down the gauntlet on the kid about "when you've done this and that" you "implied" by you parameters, that you had accomplished these levels of academic achievement, I only extrapilated that point to it's ultimate end. Don't blame me if you didn't get your PhD.

BTW, I knew that if you did have a Phd, you got it like the Wal-Mart heiress that paid the chick at USC to write her papers and take her tests.

Stick to band, and standing behind South Garland, those are your strong suits. :D

Sorry for the edit, Rough, I forgot to put on the smilie. :D

[Black&Gold06]

Y'all are insane...get a life and stop discussing this randomness. Brandenburg is a South feeder...there is no way it is a Lakeview feeder considering that it is about 1/2 a mile from SG.

[GoOwls]

Yeah, Rough is just firing a few shots across the bow. He knows the score here in Garland and who is where, he just wants to trash talk, and I love to help him out.

You see young one, as you get older, you get more bored and you need something other that straight facts to stimulate your mind.....keep you on your toes.......that's just where guys like Rough and me are......we're playing a video game, verbally, here on the computer. Ain't old people fun!!! :D

A Garland fan or not, your name should not be allowed on these forums... and you should watch what you type... Your basicly representing Garland in whatever you say and type... and not doing a good job at the moment...

[owlfan 1]

i dont represent the school 08????lol u must not know who i am......watch ur back ho

Please refrain from making personal comments aimed at another poster, no matter how annoying you find that poster to be. And, for what its worth, you really ought to think about changing your screen name. Those of us Owl fans who post here do so because we love to talk GHS football. Feel free to join us, but try to moderate your comments and post with class. Thanks...

[gtowndrumma]

gtownniggewhat.................. who are you and what grade are you in? private message me if you dont wanna put it out on the board

[garlandowl08]

Well, in reality you are representing Garland, I would just rather you didn't.

-Your username is offensive
-You called someone from your own school a "ho" and threatened them
-You have said nothing about football and therefore nothing of worth
-You have the most childish comments I have ever read. I mean, even the biggest idiots of the board try to say something about football and dont just call names...I mean, you really don't get what a forum is for, do you?

[GarlandOwl06]

O i didnt want to have to pull this one out buttt since rough is a sachse fan and is trying to dog garland about recruiting again then rough listen to this about your own alma mater.... i think everyone will like this.

Me and Dante both went to middle school togeather and were in 8th grade the same year sachse had just gotten built. At the end of the school year about May or so the sachse coaches came over and invited all of the athletics kids to come over and check out the new facilities and such. After we walked around the lockeroom and weight rooms,which were very nice, they put us all in a room and said ok if you plan on going to sachse come over here and if you are going somewhere else stand ova here. After noticing that all of the good players were standing on the side of going elsewhere the coaches preceaded to come and talk to us asking why we wanted to go to garland since most of us were. They tried to use there facilities and stuff to make us want to go there. Even after not convincing any of us to go there, the coaches continued to call dante regularly and even went to his house to have dinner with him and gave him a bunch of shirts and sweat pants from the football team. Not trying to solo sachse out just using it as a reference i knwo about, but like everyone has said in a choice of school district everyone is trying to get the best players from all the middle schools to go to there highschool so you you can not single out garland as the school that recruits.

Also Brandenburg is a feeder to south, were do you think Jordan Reever went to middle school...... but i guess if it is a feeder to lakeview south must have recruited Reever to go to south instead.

[Roughrider]

Y'all are insane...get a life and stop discussing this randomness. Brandenburg is a South feeder...there is no way it is a Lakeview feeder considering that it is about 1/2 a mile from SG.

Talk to anyone in administration.... Even ask 2X4, he spends alot of time under the coaches desk...shoot, I mean coaches office.... he will tell you it's a LakeView feeder.

With a name like that and seeing how you are truely disrespecting alot of people I normally would not respond... well yes I would..
2004?? The only thing I can associate with that is lets see, the Ollies didn't win district again, got beat in the first round, and had bunches of excuses why!! Yeah, that's about it!
Now am I frail or overweight? Do I sound fat? Kind of hurts my feelings. I'm going right now and pop in my Susan Summer thigh master video :D

[gtownniggewhat]

2004 is reffering to phil sirois and the great basketball program lol .....u better get that video out pal cause it seems most of ur time is spent on the computer....dante was highly recruited by sachse....its the truth.....just look in his closet and ask him why he supports the mustangs......brandenburg=south....not lakeview.....please start a message board for sachse's band and spend your time there

Brandenburg is LakeView feeder school period!! Call adm office and check for yourself hizzie would hizzle! :D

[garlandowl08]

Thats what I thought because Brandenburg is that Classical Center thing with Latin and what not and I am pretty sure that is not south and pretty sure it is Lakeview.

[Roughrider]

Oh, I'm sorry 2x4 didn't mean to correct you in public... After you sat there with your dictionary trying to come up with big words>>>> :p
Jump.....Jump..........

[GarlandOwl06]

Ok rough go to Brandenburg and it is literally walking distance from south garland. I mean im sure some kids from there go to lakeview but it is not a feeder.

[Roughrider]

I'm not disputing where it is located.. I'm just stating that it is an official GISD appointed Lakeview feeder. The district alignment for feeder schools makes no sense in regards to location(with alot of the high schools). Check Naaman out, they only have one feeder school to draw from (officially that is) :D

You always know a person has nothing to say when they stoop to correcting spelling or grammar or punctuation. It's a whole lot easier to do that than attack facts, isn't it, Rough? For a PhD man "wannabe", your tank is getting kind of low in the area of trash talking. I guess they didn't teach that at old Disco Tech, did they? That was your school, right? :D

Ok, last time that I checked this was a GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL thread not some bash Garland thread...(Rough). How about we get back to just talking football, since that is what the site is for. Correct? :confused: I say that if Roughrider wants to talk trash then (s)he needs to take it else where, (s)he needs to start her own thread to talk trash b/c this is about Garland, not some immature little beef that Rough is trying to start. Let's get back to the football shall we. :mad:

[owldad]

G-What 06,

I see you are fairly new to this board. Glad to see more Garland fans. You need a little history lesson on RR. He is a master at this game. He's been doing it for a long time. He's not going away. You can play along if you want, but be warned that he will see to it that he gets the last word. The best thing is to ignore his inflammatory comments completely and respond to his "thoughtful, educated" comments as you desire. He does seem to know what is going on around the GISD so most non-Garland comments he makes are usually accurate. If you are up to the challenge, then jump in headfirst and get after it! :D :D :D Otherwise, just know he is always lurking in the shadows of all Garland threads! :eek:

[GTown02]

I wonder if his counter-part RR2 will show up sometime ;).

You know anything about band??

The only thing about band I know is that the sachse band director has the most annoying crick in his neck I have ever seen

[GoOwls]

He got it snapping his neck watching Owls RB's and WR's running past him at "breakneck" speed. (yes, I had to say it) :D

Against a second year varsity program that has only beaten "weak" teams, 34 points sure is pretty average?? Would have expected alot more from such a dominant force as the Ollies...
Maybe band director was looking back at all the substitutions that the ollies were making?? Or maybe he was making sure that there was enough security between him and the inmates?ha
Oh and 2x4, I jeer at the less than inspiring, somewhat insipid post you seem to imbue us with lately.... Have you lost your Thesaurus???LMAO :D

Rough, most people laugh at things because they are funny. In your case, it's because you don't understand it. That PhD from Disco Tech is failing you. There's more puns in that last sentence than you can count. You can count.....can't you? :D


Yeah, you like that?? Figured you with all your knowledge would appreciate some higher level verbage!!ha

When you say most people, are you refering to you and your one friend?

[GarlandOwl06]

I can count the number of playoff rounds the Ollies have made it through the last few years!

Luckily you dont have to be able to count the number of rounds your team has been.

[Roughrider]

Luckily you dont have to be able to count the number of rounds your team has been.

I can live with that right now..... Ok with it for another year or two.... With as long a history and tradition as the Ollies have, must be alot more troubling for you guys?? Understandable though :D

[garlandowl08]

Why would it be troubling? We have played some of the best teams in the state for years in the first round where some crappy schools essentially have bye weeks until the third round.

[GarlandOwl06]

No its not too troubling when your school has 4 state championships and an uncoutnable number of district championships.

[garlandowl08]

Oh, how silly of me, of course that would be troubling.

[G-WHAT06]

G-What 06,

I see you are fairly new to this board. Glad to see more Garland fans. You need a little history lesson on RR. He is a master at this game. He's been doing it for a long time. He's not going away. You can play along if you want, but be warned that he will see to it that he gets the last word. The best thing is to ignore his inflammatory comments completely and respond to his "thoughtful, educated" comments as you desire. He does seem to know what is going on around the GISD so most non-Garland comments he makes are usually accurate. If you are up to the challenge, then jump in headfirst and get after it! :D :D :D Otherwise, just know he is always lurking in the shadows of all Garland threads! :eek:


I gotcha, and I am not going to engage in this sophmoric behavior. I am better than that, it is just angering that Rough has to just try and start trouble with all of the Garland fans. Oh well, I guess that this is what makes rough so happy is to see us get upset, but I'm just wondering why he only targets us? You won't see any comebacks or confrontation from me, I just enjoy sittinig back and watching everyone get upset with this lonely old man. ;)

[garlandowl08]

Did you say "sophomoric" just to make me mad? lol

[Roughrider]

Why would it be troubling? We have played some of the best teams in the state for years in the first round where some crappy schools essentially have bye weeks until the third round.

That's one way to look at it... Another would be, when you go up against a team evenly matched with yours, you fall short?? Just an observation.

[Roughrider]

No its not too troubling when your school has 4 state championships and an uncoutnable number of district championships.


What have you done for me lately??? 6 years ago and then how long ago were the other 3???, You dang sure weren't alive when they happened :D

There ya go


Like I said, with all the tradition, what have you done for me lately?? You are living in the last few decades?? In this decade?? The last two district championships have gone to South (you can count the co-district two years ago but you did lose to SG). SG looks to have solidified a Soph QB that almost beat you(and looks to be a beast the next two years) and a couple of other teams seem to have made strides to even up (talent wise).. Living in the past..... While others seem to be forging ahead, catching up even with the tilted scales we all know exist!

What couple of other teams seem to have made strides to even up!?!? Do you realize that no other team in this district is even close at all at accomplishing half of what Garland has in the past 10 years!?! And yes, 10 years is recent. Rowlett has never won a district championship, North hasn't beat us in I think 15 years, we have beat South now 11 out of the last 13 times we've played. But you are going to say that other teams are "forging ahead" while we are just getting worse. Try and back that up Rough...COMPLETE B.S.!!!!!!!!!!

[gtownniggewhat]

why are u hating on the mailman rough?....real cool man.....what do u do for a living??.....more than likely u dont hvae a job because you are on the internet way too much....its unbelievable how u seem to find a way to bash garland on everything!....ur just gonna have to live withit ....we are good at football....and as for us "only scoring 34 points on sachse"....no one tried in the second half....the didnt need to.....the game was over before it started....man josh phillips sure did put up big numbers against us....its not as easy as playing a bunch of scrubs in pre-season is it old rough?....i cant comprehend on why u would even say anything about the 4 state championships.....every year there is a school like sachse was this year(i.e. naaman in recent memory) that wins against samuel and frisco centennial and beats mediocre district teams and all of a sudden they they think they are the dolphins in the 70's? they pla Garland and South and the dream is over......ok enough with rough.....i was watching espn earlier and they were talking about predicted top recruiting classes for college and of course usc was up there....and the analyst started talking about the importance of usc signing Brandon Antwine....national attention for a deserving player....ladies he is good at football and absolutely dominated sachse...i hope andre pierce is ready to play a real defense.....antwine is a beast and john murphy is gonna lay some people out....most of peirce's yards are gained after the first hit...usually in the backfield....thats not gonna happen against garland...34-17

Nope, 4 (count 'em), 4 state championships doesn't trouble us at all.

I can't speak for the others, but personally, I just joust with Rough. Trash talking stuff. It passes the time, which it seems both he and I have way too much of. Of course, I spend my time looking at those beautiful championship trophies and Rough spends his time being jealous of us Garland High Alumni. :D

I was just refering to the fact that South had beaten Garland the previous two years and won district, they don't look to have fallen off with as many sophs as they were playing they will be a serious threat to take district again. Along with the emergence of Rowlett and NG.... thats all, relax, deep breath..

[Roughrider]

Nope, 4 (count 'em), 4 state championships doesn't trouble us at all.

How's your chess team? :D

3 of em' before most people on this board were born!!! They are living off of dusty dreams..... :D

[Gtown2006]

point blank "WE WILL WIN" district once again and your ponys wont make playoffs

[garlandowl08]

Garland is back...big time. (not that we ever left...except 2001)

[gtownowlfootball06]

3 of em' before most people on this board were born!!! They are living off of dusty dreams..... :D

And what state championships have other schools in the district won? That's what I thought.

[owlfan 1]

I think GHS will win tonight (vs. Rowlett), but if we lose, all Owl fans need to be on here tomorrow to take our medicine and eat our crow...

Personally, I beleive that Garland will grind out a tough, ball control win. RHS is living on the big play (mainly, long Pierce runs). The Owls will want to keep them off of the field as much as possible. Look for Sloan to get about 25 - 30 carries, lots of passes in the flat and to the tight ends, and a few shots deep. Rowlett will want to strike quick and knock the Owls out early with big plays. Also, look for some reverses and misdirection plays from the Eagles to take advantage of Garland's ball hawking style.

If GHS stays away from costly turnovers and idiotic penalties, I look for them to win a game in the 20's (27-21 or some such). Rowlett, in my opinion, will be in this game, and if they take advantage of Owl mistakes, they have a chance to win...

[garlandowl08]

After last night, it looks like Garland will be undefeated in district 11 play. Great Job Owls

Today at school I saw Dante in a boot because of his sprained ankle and it seemed very tender (could not walk up stairs). I wonder if he will be okay before next week or the playoffs, any info would be appreciated greatly.

I talked to him last night after the game and he said it hurt but that it was nothing at all serious. The trainers already told him he would be good to go for next week and I imagine the boot was just for precautionary reasons. It was just a sprain, nothing broken, nothing torn, so he will definetly be back for the playoffs and most likely play a quarter or so in the Lakeview game. Goodness knows we need him.

[G-WHAT06]

We may need him. When I say we may... I mean that we will.

Lakeview has turned it up, but... we have other very good players besides Dante.

I hope that he gets better for playoffs though.

Let's let him heal. And we will see where it goes from there.

Let's keep it up OWLS! :D

Lakeview has not "turned it up" and that game means absoultly nothing. Even if we lossed we would have the same seed and be alone as district champs.

[G-WHAT06]

It was a joke son.

[garlandowl08]

Good to hear about Dante, thanks for the info.

[owlfan 1]

Lakeview always plays GHS very tough - if you recall, they SHOULD have beaten us last year. The Owls need to avoid a Lakeview letdown and roll into the playoffs...

[GarlandOwl06]

It was a joke son.
It didnt seem like one...

[G-WHAT06]

It's amazing what happens when things are read and not heard.

[garlandowl08]

It seems to me that no one on any message board ever understands sarcasm...its actually ahrd to pick up on especially when there are stupid people who might actually be seious and not sarcastic (I'm not talking about anyone in this thread...)

When was the last time Lakeview beat Garland?

[garlandowl08]

1995

[owlbandad]

I think Garland has done a pretty good job at staying focused and on task in games against weaker schools. They didn't get distracted or overconfident against Naaman, North Garland, or Sachse, so I don't see why they should against Lakeview.

owlbandad

[wide-e-wide]

Hey GoOwls....clear your freakin' inbox...I'm tryin' to talk to you.

[GoOwls]

It's clear, try it again, I don't show any messages.

[garlandowl08]

Homecoming week against a majorly struggling Lakeview team...any chance they keep it close like last year?

[owlfan 1]

Lakeview's offense can be explosive, and they are playing for a playoff spot (if LC wins and SG loses to Sachse, LC is in). Garland should win, but they better not look past LC.

Any word on how Dante is doing?

[gtowndrumma]

Dante has a sprained ankle, and will be able to play against Lakeview, however i doubt he will se any play time just because there is no point for him risking getting hurt. I did talk to him the day after the game and he was able to walk on it just fine and said it wasn't hurting nearly as bad as the night before.

[Gtown06]

does anyone know who we will play first round of the playoffs for sure?


WE WILL WIN
06

[owlfan 1]

Unless I am missing something, here is the scenario:

If Mesquite Horn wins at Tyler Lee on Friday, Horn will be the Owls first round opponent. If Horn loses, the loser of the game between Longview and John Tyler will play Garland.

If anyone knows any different, please feel free to correct me...

[StormingCowboy]

Thats pretty much it.

[G-WHAT06]

As of now, we play Mesquite Horn, first round.

Which means, that we will advance to the second round of playoffs to face Carter.

After that it is off to the third round to face either Coperas Cove or Leander.

After that I have no idea. But we are going to go far! :D

not bloody likely... :)

[G-WHAT06]

Thank you for letting me know. I just looked at the play-off spread on 5A so I am just going off of that right now.

[G-WHAT06]

But of course, even if we do... WE WILL WIN!

[StormingCowboy]

If you guys play JT or Longview, I hope it's not on the same day that we play. That will be one to see!!

[G-WHAT06]

Yes it will. I can't wait until we go to play-offs. There will be some great games.

[grayowl60]

If its Jt, I hope we play at WillsPoint, Terrell, Canton, etc. Just NOT ROSE :o

We have a habbit of losing there during the playoffs :p. Longview in 02' and Tyler Lee in 04'... Our only wins against 12-5A and the old 11-5A came away from Rose...

[owlfan 1]

At gamefilm a couple of weeks a go, coach J. indicated that we would likley flip for home and home if we played JT. Best thing would be Horn - that way, if we lose the toss, we only have to get to Hanby...

I know... I was at the game ;). The only games I missed that year was the Highland Park game and the Allen game ;).

And I hope we can play Mesquite Horn.... wouldnt be that long of a drive if we lose the toss... Are you sure Coach J. is going to flip for home? Or would he try a neutral field?

Tell the truth!! You feel like Horn is an easier win!!!

I plead the 5th ;).

I would want to play Horn too, rather than JT or Longview!!

I ain' t mad at cha!!!

Horn would seem to be the easier win, but then again, thats what South thought last year when they played Mesquite... :eek:

I only missed the Skyline game. You should have been at the Highland Park game. Those #ricks from HP had written some tacky stuff on the banners they place on the front of the stands for the visitors to read.

Whats neutral between Tyler and Garland? Maybe we could play at Van :D

Carter too!!!

[GarlandOwl06]

I think it would be good to flip if we play Horn since if we lost it's only Hanby which is right down the highway and if we get them at williams well..... we dont lose much at williams.

The Owls lost a STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME at williams. Trivia: can you name the year? :cool:

[garlandowl08]

I did have to look it up...but i didn't get a definite answer so im going to post it anyway...is it 1949? (highlight to see, if you wish)

Either way it is Mesquite Horn, and we will move on to the second round. Apparently they only have one good player that according to "stats" is the team... so I feel that we have it in the bag.

[garlandowl08]

We can't look past anyone...

We on this message board can talk about whomever we want and "looking past people" and so on - but it doesnt matter what we say. Hopefully Jordan and the rest of the time have the right attitude, but what we do and say doesnt do much of anything. Its not like what we say will magically cause them to focus.

No. Williams was built in 53-54. "The house that Bobby Boyd built" :)

[GoOwls]

The Owls lost a STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME at williams. Trivia: can you name the year? :cool:

I didn't have to Google this. It was 1955 against Port Neches. Lost 20-14, or something like that. Won the championship the next year, 1956, with a late field goal over Nederland 3-0.

Boys... Back from out of town..... ya' miss me?? Just in time to see you boys reliving the past, some things never change... Wow, all the way back to the 1950's?? Were you getting screwed on calls back then too?ha
Hey, 2x4 when you gonna get that brush I left next to drive?? Can you check with your super and see, kinda of making my yard look shabby!
It's good to be back!!!!!!!! :D

[grayowl60]

Where did Garland play before Williams was built?
I dont know the layout fo the school know, but the old stadium was on campus, where the "new" gym is.
The FG against Nederland was kicked in the 2nd qtr, on third down, and stood up the rest of the game. The game was played in Nederland in 6-8 inch rainstorm. Bum Phillips was Nederlands head coach.

[Gtown2006]

my gramps played in the game before the nederland against littlefield. well he played the whole season but the littlefield game he got hurt somehow and let his block go and was the one to blame for the safety which was actually the only points they had all game. he didnt ever play football after that.

[GarlandOwl06]

Rough your just back in time to help celebrate another Garland district championship :D

[swtbobcats]

Congratulation to Garland!!!

Do they have the talent to win it all this year?

I heard something crazy from a friend that coaches in Garland, he said that the highest paid coach in Garland is from Naaman Forest. He only has won one game this year and two last year. Why is he the highest paid coach? Maybe Jordan should ask for a big pay raise this year?

[GarlandOwl06]

It is probably true since Garland High did not have enough money to sign Joey Florence but you wouldnt like to think it wasnt true from what you just said

Hey Rough, out of town, huh? I thought maybe you'd jumped off a cliff. :D

I'd also like to personally invite you to help us celebrate yet another district championship.

As for the ruminations of the past, well, at least we have a past....and present to ruminate about.

We always get screwed on calls, back then too. :D :D

I'll get to work on the brush ASAP. :D

I was just wondering if heads were going to roll this year if you didn't get the title back.. Seems like since that Coach from SG came into town, he's had his hands on it? Oh well, you got it this year but you better get ready to match up with size a little bit more equal to yours (and I don't mean Horn)... The days of squeaking by undersized opponents is coming to an end....... If you boys match up with Horn, I'll give you that one, talk about an early christmas.... But after that ?????

Rough SHUT UP!!

[GarlandOwl06]

Well since John will be eligable for the playoffs that means we will have

Buddy 6'4 285 Jeremy 6'4 300 Stubbs 6'0 260 and Perez 5'10 240 and a good TE in Parker at 6'4 235

not calling us giants but we have a decent sized line that should be able to go up against the bigger schools.

Yes, but you do remember our defens also. They only allow on average 2.3 yards per carry. So I think that we have a GREAT chance against bigger schools.
