You're fired (Region 4)

[lonny23]

One more time with feeling! This is our last region and some of these teams are real bad and others just don't do enough. Without further adieu:

[lonny23]

SA Highlands. Well, they may get 1 more win, but they aren't close to competing in district for the playoffs.

[lonny23]

SA East Central. I love it when stuff is easy. They lost to Seguin and that means they won't go to the playoffs.

[lonny23]

SA Southwest. Play time is over since there aren't any more Highlands and Jefferson's on the schedule. No chance to beat Clemens and San Marcos.

[lonny23]

SA Jefferson. They may win 1 game, but the rest will be slaughters. When will they be decent?

[lonny23]

Seguin. San Marcos beat them and they'll finish in 3rd. They might as well not even show up for the playoffs because they'll play S Valley!

[lonny23]

SA Churchill has been hired back.

[lonny23]

SA Lee. Well, district play has started and Lee is in last place. It's nice to know you can count on some things! :D

[lonny23]

Del Rio. These guys are better than the past, but still not close to where they need to be to get in the playoffs. Maybe they'll keep improving.

[bubbacoach]

You must be bored senselless.

[lonny23]

SA Warren. They picked a bad time to start losing games. 2 district losses and more tough games means no playoffs.

[lonny23]

You must be bored senselless.
Not really. I like how the fans of the different regions are commenting on their various threads.

[lonny23]

SA Holmes. You're supposed to win in district, not start losing. That's what happens when you play chumps in non-district. Right now these guys couldn't beat Larry Holmes! :p

[lonny23]

SA Marshall has been re-hired.

[lonny23]

SA Taft. They were having a disappointing season anyway, but losing to Marshall sealed the deal for missing the playoffs. This is a disappointing year following last year.

[lonny23]

CC King. They can't beat the 4A teams in town. It's no surprise they can't beat the 5A teams, either.

[lonny23]

CC Miller. They're way too small to play in 5A. They need to drop to 4A, but that's also tough because it's a hard district to play in.

[lonny23]

CC Moody. Let's see they had a hard time beating 4A teams. That makes it harder to beat 5A and they won't do it.

[lonny23]

CC Ray. They may be a playoff team. That's good for 1 round with these guys. They are only average.

[lonny23]

V Memorial. They took several losses on the chin, but they'll be better for it. They still make the playoffs.

[lonny23]

Eagle Pass. Hey, these guys might make the playoffs. I don't rememeber their success in the past. The district won't do much, though.

[KT2000]

This is good stuff. If you read through every thread you'll get a nice picture of what's going on around the state.

Might need to get our boy Lonny some smelling salts (non Michael Irvin variety) to finish region 4.

[lonny23]

L Alexander. Hey, they still have United South to play! :D Otherwise being 0-6 doesn't look too good.

[lonny23]

This is good stuff. If you read through every thread you'll get a nice picture of what's going on around the state.

Might need to get our boy Lonny some smelling salts (non Michael Irvin variety) to finish region 4.
Thanks. I was dragging in District 20 and then picked back up a little. I'll try to finish strong. Maybe I'll do something else down the line for the other teams that are still in good graces.

[lonny23]

L Cigarroa. Well, they got 2 freebies and might have 1 left. That means they probably lose 4 district games and miss the playoffs.

[lonny23]

L Johnson. Well, lookee here! I made fun of them for beating Crystal City 14-13 and that's a 3A team. I said they were the team United South had the best chance to beat and these guys up and beat Alexander last week. Good job, guys! You still won't make the playoffs, though.

[lonny23]

L Martin. They broke off 2 district wins and might get 2 more, but 4 isn't enough. They need 5 and will fall just short of the playoffs.

[lonny23]

L Nixon. I hate to pick on my friends. I take up for you a lot and you're not a bad team. They can beat a lot of teams, but we all know they can't compete with the top SA teams in the playoffs. They start every year like they end it with their tails between their legs. At least they play the SA teams and that's why they always win district. They might go 3 deep in the playoffs AGAIN!

[lonny23]

L United. This was supposed to be their year, but Nixon beat them. They're relegated to 2nd place and might get a win or 2 in the playoffs. Long-range they won't beat SA teams.

[lonny23]

L United South. You knew I wouldn't leave these guys out! :D They still have the worst power rating, but they have strong competition from elsewhere for the title of worst in the state. The future isn't bright and that's how some of us like it! :D They do have 20 points and that's better than 2 teams in Houston. Their competition is weaker and that's why their rating is worse.

[lonny23]

La Joya. They had 2 early season losses, so we know they aren't the best in the Valley. They'll probably run the table in district, but the party is over if they win the first 2 games. Do they want more of Judson? :p

[lonny23]

Mc Memorial. I kept giving these guys a chance because they have Stephens, but I gave up. The Pace loss told me to not go with these guys. 32 is tougher than any of the other districts in the Valley and you have no hope of beating SA if you're not even the best team/district down south.

[lonny23]

McAllen. These guys have some hope because they beat PSJA. They could sneak in the playoffs with a few more quality wins. Don't count on winning after Week 10, though.

[lonny23]

Mc Rowe. They're probably outside of the playoffs because they lost last week. Better luck next year.

[lonny23]

Mission Sharyland. OK, I think they get to the playoffs. Again, I think they'll struggle with beating 31 and 32 in the 2nd round. Laredo is bad enough they might win in Week 11.

[lonny23]

Rio Grande City. It's not looking good for the home team. With 5 district games, you just can't afford to lose the first game out the door to a mid-level team. No playoffs for the Rattlers.

[lonny23]

Donna. It's been a tough year. They have a good Valley schedule and have been getting beat. They'll be back strong in another year.

[lonny23]

Edinburg. They may have enough to get in the playoffs. The way 32 beat them says, they won't win in Week 11.

[lonny23]

E Economedes. They may go 0-10. They aren't that good this year and are about to hit the meat of their schedule. The coach must have good people skills because he STILL has a job and is 15-40! :D

[mad_fan]

L United South. You knew I wouldn't leave these guys out! :D They still have the worst power rating, but they have strong competition from elsewhere for the title of worst in the state. The future isn't bright and that's how some of us like it! :D They do have 20 points and that's better than 2 teams in Houston. Their competition is weaker and that's why their rating is worse.

You guys and your power ratings :eek: :D

[lonny23]

E North. These guys are going to struggle to make the playoffs, too. The guys next door are about 20 points a game better than 31 and it doesn't really matter too much who does make the playoffs from 31. I say done after Week 10.

[lonny23]

PSJA North. They're about to hate life. I see a 7-3 and no playoffs. That's always a bad feeling.

[lonny23]

Weslaco. They're probably a playoff team and they have looked good against 32 this year. I think they'll struggle in the playoffs, though.

[lonny23]

Brownsville Hanna. These guys look like the cellar dwellers. They're getting worse by the week. No district wins.

[lonny23]

B Porter. 0-3 in district and a lot of tough games to come. This is actually a decent district for being in the Valley. I like how good the competition is down here each week.

[lonny23]

B Rivera. These guys aren't bad. There is too much competition for wins and they're a small step below the rest and that leads to losses. No playoffs.

[lonny23]

You guys and your power ratings :eek: :D
I LOVE power ratings. They say my Rockets are going to beat your Mavericks! :D

[clemensbuff]

CC King. They can't beat the 4A teams in town. It's no surprise they can't beat the 5A teams, either.

LOL None of the Valley or Corpus teams can beat CC Callalen or GP. I can clearly remember CCC playing some pretty decent 5a teams from SA in non-district games here a few years ago and spanking them like step children!

[clemensbuff]

La Joya. They had 2 early season losses, so we know they aren't the best in the Valley. They'll probably run the table in district, but the party is over if they win the first 2 games. Do they want more of Judson? :p

OR CLEMENS! LOL :p

[lonny23]

LOL None of the Valley or Corpus teams can beat CC Callalen or GP. I can clearly remember CCC playing some pretty decent 5a teams from SA in non-district games here a few years ago and spanking them like step children!
There's a lot of SA teams that wouldn't beat them, either. That's why Moody and Miller would stay in 5A if they had 200 students. It's easier to play in 5A than to mess with GP, Calallen, and Flour Bluff! :D

[lonny23]

OR CLEMENS! LOL :p
They won't get the chance to experience Clemens! :p

[Reaganrattler07]

L Cigarroa. Well, they got 2 freebies and might have 1 left. That means they probably lose 4 district games and miss the playoffs.

Hey, they were Reagan's first victory! 23-13.....

[rattlerbacker]

LOL None of the Valley or Corpus teams can beat CC Callalen or GP. I can clearly remember CCC playing some pretty decent 5a teams from SA in non-district games here a few years ago and spanking them like step children!

Calallen played all 5A teams in nondistrict this year and won them all handily. They don't shy away from playing 5A teams, win or lose. They put a whooping on San Marcos a couple of years ago. :mad:

08/26/2005 @ Corpus Christi Ray (28-5A) won: 53-13
09/09/2005 Waco (13-5A) won: 35-14
09/16/2005 Edinburg (31-5A) won: 32-14

[Red Raiders]

Lonny, I am curious if you like to flood the thread so you can get alot of posts instead of all in 1 posts?

[clemensbuff]

They won't get the chance to experience Clemens! :p

I'm not so sure about that. I just got home from the Judson-Churchill game and it wasn't pretty. Chuchill's defense totally dominated Judson's O. 14-0 Churchill. I know that when wake up and read this you will think you are having a nightmare. But you're not. Now I have seen Judson in person this year and I can tell you that if their offense does not improve by the Madison game they will not make the playoffs. Judson's D is pretty good as usual, but I cannot beleive how bad the offense looked tonight. I can also tell you, and I know you will not like this, but Clemens' defense would have their way with them also. Judson must improve to make the playoffs and they better improve a lot if they are going to make any kind of run in the playoffs this year. I just didn't see any of that Judson fire in the players at all. And the fans, I couldn't beleive it, I don't think I even heard them across the field more than 5 times all night. To tell you the honest truth, everything about the game tonight reminded me of 2003' when we won at their place.

[TexasRed6x]

Lonny go ahead and add Judson to the list, you can stick a fork in them because they are finished.

[Reaganrattler07]

I LOVE power ratings. They say my Rockets are going to beat your Mavericks! :D

That may not be reality....

[RedRage00]

Lonny go ahead and add Judson to the list, you can stick a fork in them because they are finished.

LOL..I dont think Lonny will add Judson to the list.

RR

[BandidoNB]

Thats ok.. I'll do it

Converse Judson. Wagner's bite was supposed to be coming this year.. what happened?!

Just kidding; dont count out the Rockets; not yet anywayz.

[LoneRocket]

Lonny go ahead and add Judson to the list, you can stick a fork in them because they are finished.
They are on probation, You know a 3 week growth plan.

[Reaganrattler07]

They are on probation, You know a 3 week growth plan.

They're still.....1-3? or 2-2? If its 2-2, they still got a chance.

[clemensbuff]

Where are you Lonny? I sure hope the shock you got this morning was not too much for you to handle.

[Reaganrattler07]

Where are you Lonny? I sure hope the shock you got this morning was not too much for you to handle.

Check the week 7 scores page...he said "this is a terrible year for Judson"

[dragonsdaddy]

if lonny was at all honest about the rocks, they'd be sunk too. doubt it'll happen though. do they have to deal with missing the po's again?

[mad_fan]

did you run out of slc threads to post in? :p
judson has three winnable games left and will likely win them.

[drgnbkr]

I guess its kind of slow on the SLC threads....thats when we get to jump in & irritate lonny.... :rolleyes:

[lonny23]

Hey, they were Reagan's first victory! 23-13.....
See what I mean about Cigarroa! :p

[lonny23]

Calallen played all 5A teams in nondistrict this year and won them all handily. They don't shy away from playing 5A teams, win or lose. They put a whooping on San Marcos a couple of years ago. :mad:

09/09/2005 Waco (13-5A) won: 35-14
09/16/2005 Edinburg (31-5A) won: 32-14
Of course not. They're better than all the 5A teams in town!

[lonny23]

Lonny, I am curious if you like to flood the thread so you can get alot of posts instead of all in 1 posts?
I didn't feel like putting all that stuff in 1 post. I do it a lot, but sometimes don't like having a real long thread.

[lonny23]

I'm not so sure about that. I just got home from the Judson-Churchill game and it wasn't pretty. Chuchill's defense totally dominated Judson's O. 14-0 Churchill. I know that when wake up and read this you will think you are having a nightmare. But you're not.

To tell you the honest truth, everything about the game tonight reminded me of 2003' when we won at their place.
I'm not mad in the slightest way. I agree the offense needs to get better and I've been taking a wait and see approach. I'll still take the no offense in 2005 over the no defense in 2003.

[lonny23]

Lonny go ahead and add Judson to the list, you can stick a fork in them because they are finished.
I have to wait another week before I have a chance to do that. They look like they may be done, but I can't say that yet.

[lonny23]

That may not be reality....
I know that's true because the Power Ratings also said Judson would beat:

Copperas Cove
Smithson Valley
SA Churchill

[lonny23]

LOL..I dont think Lonny will add Judson to the list.

RR
Not this week, but I might next week. Even if they win out, I might do it before the playoffs start.

[lonny23]

They are on probation, You know a 3 week growth plan.
If the offense doesn't improve, some fan is going to be on probation for attacking the coaching staff! :D

The only thing that would make this Judson season worse would've been for me to be around to watch this mess.

[lonny23]

Where are you Lonny? I sure hope the shock you got this morning was not too much for you to handle.
I saw the score after I got back from Habitat for Humanity. I posted some in the score thread, but was too tired to post very much. OK, after 40 something posts and about halfway through the score thread! :D

[lonny23]

if lonny was at all honest about the rocks, they'd be sunk too. doubt it'll happen though. do they have to deal with missing the po's again?
I'm always honest. I would know a lot more about them if I was there to watch them. They have a potential shutdown defense. I now hear the run defense is better than the pass defense. The offense is bad, but I know it's the first new offense these kids have had in the last 7 years. They might get it together, but they aren't showing it yet. I'll knock Judson out if I need to. They'll be gone if they lose another game this year. If they don't start scoring more, I'll knock them out regardless.

[lonny23]

I guess its kind of slow on the SLC threads....thats when we get to jump in & irritate lonny.... :rolleyes:
Hey, bring it on! I don't care.

[lonny23]

Hey, something different. I hire 2 teams back (Churchill and Marshall), if just for a week as a temp. I also fire 7 teams to leave us with 13 teams (San Marcos, Clemens, Judson, S Valley, Churchill, Madison, Reagan, MacArthur, Roosevelt, O'Connor, Marshall, Jay, and Clark).

[lonny23]

CC Carroll is out. They have a weak district and keep winning, but the close games have me thinking they won't cut it vs. SA.

[lonny23]

Pharr San Juan Alamo is the best of a very weak district. They can't beat 32, so how can they beat SA?

[lonny23]

Brownsville Pace has too many close games. I need to see distancing to make me believe a Valley team can beat SA.

[lonny23]

Harlingen is in the same boat as B Pace.

[lonny23]

Harlingen South just doesn't do it for me. They don't have the speed they need to play SA.

[lonny23]

Los Fresnos is good, but doesn't have the fear of God put in you for playing them.

[lonny23]

San Benito might be the home of Freddy Fender, but it's not home of a title-caliber team.

[purple_thunder]

CC Carroll is out. They have a weak district and keep winning, but the close games have me thinking they won't cut it vs. SA.
SM beat them in a scrimmage 7 tds-2 tds

[lonny23]

SM beat them in a scrimmage 7 tds-2 tds
Sounds like a good reason to be fired to me! :D

[SeguinMatadors]

Seguin. San Marcos beat them and they'll finish in 3rd. They might as well not even show up for the playoffs because they'll play S Valley!

I respect your opinion. However, now that we are going D1, I think we have a chance at going pretty far. If Judson loses one more and continues to sputter, we will probably be playing Madison or Raegan in the first round. Neither team really scares me and I think we could get past them. After that, we would probably play Oconner and we could beat them. Then, a Valley team and if we got that far we had better handle them. Probably too much speculation but that is just my opinion.

R-e-a-g-a-n....please know how to spell the President's name.

So did you all t hink you would get past Madison like you did last year? I actually was hoping you all could. But I suggest you don't take either of us that lightly.

[Reaganrattler07]

In the '80s some spelled it R-a-y-g-u-n. :)

We had that on the news one day....showed a picture of Reagan with the letters "Raygun" and some cool music playing....I thought that it should've been their intro but nooooooo, didn't listen to good ol' Skins88. Instead they went around filming school to do that as their intro.

Actually, yes, I did think Seguin would beat Madison last year. I still think we probably should have but we choked or picked the wrong game to have an off night. I surely was not suggesting that neither Madison nor REAGAN is a slouch that could be taken lightly; both are very good teams. I just think we match up well with both.

Yeah, I'm glad that (if we go) we'll be matched up with you all....and not Clemens.

But last year, I went into that cold, windy night hoping Madison would get cleaned out and what happened! They win....and not only that I thought by sitting on the Madison side the wind would be at my back....WRONG. Stupid wind blew into my eyes all game....and then it was like 40 degrees with 10 mph winds.... :mad:

Yes, that night was freeezing!!! I want to know what was with the lack of showing for the Madison fans. Is their fan support that bad? I know it was cold but the game was closer to Madison and we easily had 10 times as many fans as them, probably more. No pun intended to you Madison fans out there.

....no offense to Madison fans but they were pretty cocky towards the end of the game claiming they "killed Taft so they'll do it again"....I guess "killing" is a narrow OT win....but Taft killed them like 37-7....but that's another story. But that night was sooooo cold. My rear was like frozen to the seat, my face was numb, my eyes were dry and cold...and when i got back to my car...my Dr. Pepper was still cold.

Why would you sit outside for Madison-Seguin when Judson was playing Clemens inside on the same day? :confused:

[lonny23]

San Marcos. You play in a weak district and couldn't beat Clemens without their best player. One and done in the playoffs.

[lonny23]

Converse Judson. All I have to say is that nuns must love and respect you! :p

[lonny23]

SA MacArthur. You should've won last week. A decent year will have another sad ending with no playoffs. You're a decent team, though.

[lonny23]

SA Reagan. I hate to fire you only because I want you to win this week. It sure isn't to please Redskins88! :p Congrats on your best year ever.

[lonny23]

SA Roosevelt. You guys put up a good fight, but didn't have enough for the tough guys in 26-5A.

[lonny23]

SA Clark. You just don't have enough oomph to make me believe you go far in the playoffs.

[lonny23]

SA Jay. I just don't see a dominant team that can beat the other districts.

[lonny23]

SA Marshall. Worse than Judson in a scrimmage and still worse than 26-5A and Clemens.

[lonny23]

SA O'Connor. This is a hard team to cut. I just don't think they'll win in Round 2.

[clemensbuff]

Why would you sit outside for Madison-Seguin when Judson was playing Clemens inside on the same day? :confused:

Either way he would have seen a spanking delivered! LOL

[PantherFan70]

SA O'Connor. This is a hard team to cut. I just don't think they'll win in Round 2.

Lonny, What division is OC going in? div. 1 or 2? I am soooo confused with the numbers everywhere. If the Revised UIL numbers are whats being used they go Div. 1 but this site has them in the D2 bracket. Frankly I think if they go D1 they have a good chance in R. 2, ONLY if reagan makes the playoffs ( I am praying) because if not then I believe MAdison goes Div. 1 and we know how well OC does against madison, always close but no cigar! But if they go Div. 2 I will still be there to back my panthers, but I know we lose in Round 2, I think we play the winner of Clemens or SV? I just think OC is too young for the playoffs this year and will have too many mental errors, but if we do get past Round 2 SEMIS HERE WE COME!!! (in Div. 1 anyway, Div. 2 I have no clue)

O'Connor is D1. District 27 and Clemens are the only teams in the state that changed their enrollment numbers.

[PantherFan70]

O'Connor is D1. District 27 and Clemens are the only teams in the state that changed their enrollment numbers.

Ok. good thats what I was hoping! Now that I think about it, I DO want to see OC play Madison again. Just one more shot! :D But First need to watch out for those Vipers! They scared the crap out of me last year!

[lonny23]

The way Memorial is playing right now, they may beat you this year.

[PantherFan70]

The way Memorial is playing right now, they may beat you this year.

It is a possibility. But I'm sure Padron won't let them slack after what happened last year, I don't think he will let the Vipers surprise them again.

[lonny23]

Seguin. San Marcos beat them and they'll finish in 3rd. They might as well not even show up for the playoffs because they'll play S Valley!
OK, they played Judson and did show up. They got 3rd, but lost anyway.

[lonny23]

SA Churchill has been hired back.
They got fired again!

SA Lee. Well, district play has started and Lee is in last place. It's nice to know you can count on some things! :D
Hey, they might take it all this year!:D

[lonny23]

V Memorial. They took several losses on the chin, but they'll be better for it. They still make the playoffs.
Yeah, SA needs somebody to beat!:D

[lonny23]

This is good stuff. If you read through every thread you'll get a nice picture of what's going on around the state.

Might need to get our boy Lonny some smelling salts (non Michael Irvin variety) to finish region 4.
That was a monster effort. I threw out like 200 posts in a row and ended it in the middle of the night.

[lonny23]

L Alexander. Hey, they still have United South to play! :D Otherwise being 0-6 doesn't look too good.
Alexander beat United South 27-3.

[lonny23]

L Nixon. I hate to pick on my friends. I take up for you a lot and you're not a bad team. They can beat a lot of teams, but we all know they can't compete with the top SA teams in the playoffs. They start every year like they end it with their tails between their legs. At least they play the SA teams and that's why they always win district. They might go 3 deep in the playoffs AGAIN!
Ended in Week 12 last year. They still had a good year.

[lonny23]

L United. This was supposed to be their year, but Nixon beat them. They're relegated to 2nd place and might get a win or 2 in the playoffs. Long-range they won't beat SA teams.
Got 2 wins and lost to SV. It was a good game for a while.

[lonny23]

L United South. You knew I wouldn't leave these guys out! :D They still have the worst power rating, but they have strong competition from elsewhere for the title of worst in the state. The future isn't bright and that's how some of us like it! :D They do have 20 points and that's better than 2 teams in Houston. Their competition is weaker and that's why their rating is worse.
Hey, they ended up being 242 out of 244 because of Houston.

[lonny23]

La Joya. They had 2 early season losses, so we know they aren't the best in the Valley. They'll probably run the table in district, but the party is over if they win the first 2 games. Do they want more of Judson? :p
No, they lost to Harlingen, who then got beat by Judson.

[lonny23]

Mc Memorial. I kept giving these guys a chance because they have Stephens, but I gave up. The Pace loss told me to not go with these guys. 32 is tougher than any of the other districts in the Valley and you have no hope of beating SA if you're not even the best team/district down south.
That last sentence was pretty accurate. I will say that teams from 29, 31, and 32 got beat by SA, so the losses were spread out among the districts.

[lonny23]

You guys and your power ratings :eek: :D
I don't know. They helped me make some pretty good predictions last year.

[lonny23]

PSJA North. They're about to hate life. I see a 7-3 and no playoffs. That's always a bad feeling.
6-4 and no playoffs.

[lonny23]

I LOVE power ratings. They say my Rockets are going to beat your Mavericks! :D
Lower is only better in golf!:p

[lonny23]

They won't get the chance to experience Clemens! :p
2 more points for me!:D

[lonny23]

Hey, they were Reagan's first victory! 23-13.....
A 10 point win over a Laredo team is a death knell in 26-5A. Seriously, you instantly know you need to be a lot better to make the playoffs.

[TexasRed6x]

2 more points for me!:D
How can you get 2 more points??

[lonny23]

I'm not so sure about that. I just got home from the Judson-Churchill game and it wasn't pretty. Chuchill's defense totally dominated Judson's O. 14-0 Churchill. I know that when wake up and read this you will think you are having a nightmare. But you're not. Now I have seen Judson in person this year and I can tell you that if their offense does not improve by the Madison game they will not make the playoffs. Judson's D is pretty good as usual, but I cannot beleive how bad the offense looked tonight. I can also tell you, and I know you will not like this, but Clemens' defense would have their way with them also. Judson must improve to make the playoffs and they better improve a lot if they are going to make any kind of run in the playoffs this year. I just didn't see any of that Judson fire in the players at all. And the fans, I couldn't beleive it, I don't think I even heard them across the field more than 5 times all night. To tell you the honest truth, everything about the game tonight reminded me of 2003' when we won at their place.
Yeah, they needed to be better and they did improve.

[lonny23]

Lonny go ahead and add Judson to the list, you can stick a fork in them because they are finished.
I wasn't ready at that time.

[lonny23]

That may not be reality....
It wasn't!

[lonny23]

I have to wait another week before I have a chance to do that. They look like they may be done, but I can't say that yet.
See, I didn't fire them at 4-3 and 2-2 in district.

[Gridiron Gopher]

It wasn't!

Man, if I follow all these post by Lonny now I might make it to 500 post in one night!:D

[lonny23]

I'm always honest. I would know a lot more about them if I was there to watch them. They have a potential shutdown defense. I now hear the run defense is better than the pass defense. The offense is bad, but I know it's the first new offense these kids have had in the last 7 years. They might get it together, but they aren't showing it yet. I'll knock Judson out if I need to. They'll be gone if they lose another game this year. If they don't start scoring more, I'll knock them out regardless.
OK, I knocked them out for losing to Madison and that was a concession to the odds of making the playoffs. They started scoring more and got an opening and that's why they were fired one week and hired back the next week.

[lonny23]

CC Carroll is out. They have a weak district and keep winning, but the close games have me thinking they won't cut it vs. SA.
They didn't.

[lonny23]

Pharr San Juan Alamo is the best of a very weak district. They can't beat 32, so how can they beat SA?
They didn't.

[lonny23]

Harlingen is in the same boat as B Pace.
I said they needed to be quite a bit better than the Valley to make me think they could beat SA.

[lonny23]

San Benito might be the home of Freddy Fender, but it's not home of a title-caliber team.
I'm quoting this one just because I like the quote!:D

[TexasRed6x]

I guess that Lonny is ready to fire region 4 all over again.:D

[lonny23]

San Marcos. You play in a weak district and couldn't beat Clemens without their best player. One and done in the playoffs.
One and done.

[lonny23]

Converse Judson. All I have to say is that nuns must love and respect you! :p
I fired them on October 26th after Week 8.

[lonny23]

SA Reagan. I hate to fire you only because I want you to win this week. It sure isn't to please Redskins88! :p Congrats on your best year ever.
They did come through in that Churchill game, but they stayed fired.

[lonny23]

SA O'Connor. This is a hard team to cut. I just don't think they'll win in Round 2.
They did put up a fight in Round 2.

[Slim-Rob]

They did put up a fight in Round 2.

Nice way to get to 20k faster

[lonny23]

How can you get 2 more points??
I'm keeping score!:p

OK, it just means I was right on that prediction. I'm just going back through the threads and randomly looking at what I said. Most of the firings were no-brainers and I'm focusing more on the harder predictions.

[Slim-Rob]

Nice way to get to 20k faster

I agree. It is a very good way to get more posts.

[Slim-Rob]

I agree. It is a very good way to get more posts.
Yeah, but I don't think lonny is doing it for the post count.

[lonny23]

Man, if I follow all these post by Lonny now I might make it to 500 post in one night!:D
That will work. When I was behind, all I needed to do was match Wide and D08 and then keep posting.

[Slim-Rob]

Yeah, but I don't think lonny is doing it for the post count.

Well, I don't know. He sure does have a lot of posts.

[lonny23]

I guess that Lonny is ready to fire region 4 all over again.:D
As much as I'd like to fire teams before the year starts, I won't do it. I will start firing early in the year, though.

[Slim-Rob]

Lee is fired.

[Slim-Rob]

Lee is fired.
Don't fire them yet. You never know, they could end up 16-0.

[TexasRed6x]

I fired them on October 26th after Week 8.
You shouldn't have because they made it to the state championship game after almost missing the playoffs.

[lonny23]

Nice way to get to 20k faster
Actually, I looked for these threads to find the Region 3 firings and just got to Region 2 and 4 first. I'm not trying to get to anything. I don't even care when I get to 16K. I might care to reach some milestone late in the year, but I'm not worried about one now.

[TexasRed6x]

Don't fire them yet. You never know, they could end up 16-0.
Yeah right.:D

[lonny23]

Hey you must be getting yourself into season form.:D

[Slim-Rob]

I'm not.
I don't believe you.

[lonny23]

Well, I don't know. He sure does have a lot of posts.
I like to say a lot!

Once I saw the threads, I wanted to see how well I did last year.

[Slim-Rob]

I don't believe you.
I do. Why don't you believe him? what a punk

[Gridiron Gopher]

That will work. When I was behind, all I needed to do was match Wide and D08 and then keep posting.

Heck, I'm already 20 post further behind and all I did was try to read them all. "Run Forest, Run" :D

[Slim-Rob]

Yeah right.:D

they could. You never know.

[lonny23]

Lee is fired.
Not until they show me they should be fired.

[TexasRed6x]

they could. You never know.
They may be lucky to win at least 4 or 5 games.

[Slim-Rob]

Not until they show me they should be fired.

Haven't the recent past seasons said anything?

[lonny23]

You shouldn't have because they made it to the state championship game after almost missing the playoffs.
The rules from the start said teams were getting fired if they weren't going to be a threat to make the semis. Judson by far had the worst record of the teams I didn't fire before Week 8. I had to fire them when it looked like Churchill was a lock to make the playoffs. With 2 weeks left in district:

SV 4-1
Madison 4-1
Churchill 3-2 and wins over Judson and SV
Reagan 2-3
Judson 2-3
MacArthur 2-3 I think

Judson couldn't beat out SV or Madison since they lost to both. All Churchill needed to do was beat Reagan and knock Judson out. I thought they'd do it, but they didn't. Once they lost to Reagan, I took Judson back and said they'd find a way to win by 21 over Reagan, who had just beat the team that shut out Judson for the first time in 19 years. I had faith in the Rockets, but didn't put the same trust in Reagan over Churchill.

[lonny23]

Hey you must be getting yourself into season form.:D
I'm not there yet. I might not ever reach last season form again. I don't see throwing out 10K posts in 5 months again.

SURE you did;)

[lonny23]

I don't believe you.
Hey, I'm always honest with you guys. I admitted that I did some threads last year to get more posts faster.

[Slim-Rob]

This is last year if we are in next year.

[lonny23]

Haven't the recent past seasons said anything?
The past does make me think twice about keeping teams or firing them, but the play on the field is what matters.

[Slim-Rob]

ya, i know. Well, i'm out for tha day. Catch ya'll later.

[lonny23]

SURE you did;)
Hey, the posts are there to be reviewed. They didn't go anywhere. I know what I said.

[TexasRed6x]

I'm not there yet. I might not ever reach last season form again. I don't see throwing out 10K posts in 5 months again.
I'm sure you will double that total if you keep this up.

[Slim-Rob]

I'm sure you will double that total if you keep this up.

No doubt

[lonny23]

I'm sure you will double that total if you keep this up.
Not even close. It takes like 66 a day to get 2K in a month. I'm not going to do 132 for 5 months in a row.
