Houston will be hosting the state championship games at Reliant Stadium this year and 2009. Dr. Charles Breihaupt (UIL) announced this today.


Congrats, Houston!


So, then after the next two seasons, all of the bugs should be worked out of Jerry's new digs, and those two years will be at some stadium in Arlington.

:)

[CF Eagle Fan]

Great, so we won't have to travel to San Antonio! Here's to having the honor of paying $8 per car to park at Reliant! :D

It's actually only set for 2008. I edited that out of the original post. I assumed it was two years again- not so.

I thought that was already a done deal. Anyway I will book my flight tonight. It will interesting to see who we will be playing this year but I am hoping it is Katy. :D

[RedRage00]

I don't know why...there won't be in any Houston area teams in the finals :D

[rodjohns]

OUCH!!!!:Censor:

[dragonpants]

Well that is just bad manners.:laugh

[RedRage00]

Well that is just bad manners.:laugh

Just speaking the truth ;) :D

[Redhoss]

I don't know why...there won't be in any Houston area teams in the finals :D

Yeah, that never happens, does it? :D

[Fleeman93]

I don't think there will be a team in the finals with "Vipers" as a mascot.

[drgnbkr]

I don't think there will be a team in the finals with "Vipers" as a mascot.

Or, as the German's pronounce it...Wipers....:D

[Magellan]

Well that is just bad manners.:laugh

So, it's good manners to announce that the other 31 Division II playoff schools in Regions I and II need to just pack it in because there's no reason to load up those buses?

Or are you just admiting ahead of time to fixing games?

Which one is it? Rudeness? or Prison?

[DragonFan0316]

Great, so we won't have to travel to San Antonio! Here's to having the honor of paying $8 per car to park at Reliant! :D

That's only $5 more than parking at Dragon Stadium.:(

[bowiedawgs01]

What about 4A?

[Favpack]

A 2001 repeat would be nice. Lufkin is undefeated in Houston.

[Magellan]

What about 4A?

No pre-determined site.

[bowiedawgs01]

Ah. I had heard they were going that way soon.

[Fleeman93]

Just curious, what is the best Houston areA TEAM Lufkin has beat? Maybe give the top 3?




Sorry: EDIT

[Favpack]

Katy - 2002
Katy - 2003 (their only loss of the year)
Klein Forest - 2002
Spring Westfield - 2001
The Woodz - 2004

I thought the KF game last year was played in Huntsville. I always thought SHSU was part of Houston in football terms.

However if Fav isn't counting that game, it's easy. TWHS in 2004 at Conroe.

I don't count that dark day in Huntsville -which is definitely East Texas country. :D

Katy 02' and 03' didn't become decent teams until around week 7 or 8. They would be much further down the list in my opinion. So Klein Forest 02?

KF was undefeated when we beat them in '02 - I don't recall about The Woodz, but they were pretty darn good in '04. The '01 Spring WF game went to OT - in the Dome.

[ktCarl]

I hope they prepare the turf better for the Title games than they do for other high school games.

[rocketgrl94]

I don't think there will be a team in the finals with "Vipers" as a mascot.

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!:notworthy

[EagleDude73]

Reliant field is brought in for each game. Brought in by pallette. The best in the country. what is everyone talking about.

Can someone from the area give me a list of the top 5 hotels near Reliant. I plan on being there with my Trojans.:D

Trinity not the "you know what".:eek:

Might consider staying downtown and taking the train down to Reliant. Better night life that way.

[jbusch]

Double header games are not a good idea on natural surfaces. Calm down.

[Fleeman93]

Say whatever you want but you have no clue what you talk about. Just ask someone that knows other than me.

[K-Rock]

I have not been able to go to the Championship game the last few years. Last I saw live was the Lufkin game. Can't wait to go back this year! :cool:

[RedRage00]

I don't think there will be a team in the finals with "Vipers" as a mascot.

I don't care...that ain't my alma mater! :D ;)

You always hatin' Rocketgirl! :p

[jbusch]

Say whatever you want but you have no clue what you talk about. Just ask someone that knows other than me. that's an excuse everybody can use - but if you beat another team when they weren't "that good yet at that time of the season" you would still take that win and hold it over that team for years to come.

[trojanbacker]

There was an article in this morning's Dallas Morning Snooze about this. I was glad to see that Jerry World, when completed, is still going to be interested in hosting high school playoff games. I wasn't sure if he'd allow high school games in the new place.

[Fleeman93]

Alrighty, you must be right. Do you mean like 30-3?

[dada]

Yeah on a weekly basis. I would want to play first in a double header. The last double header I saw there was Cinco Ranch/Pearland and Katy/Brazoswood and the field conditions were horrible. I remember guys just falling for no reason when making cuts and we would joke that he must have stepped into one of David Carr's "Butt Divits".........

[LPack007]

Katy 02' and 03' didn't become decent teams until around week 7 or 8. They would be much further down the list in my opinion. So Klein Forest 02?

Quit making excuses. If Katy would of beat us in Lufkin would you still be making that same lame excuse?:rolleyes:

[LPack007]

Aye Fav, do you remember what record Westfield had in 01?

[DipnSpit]

Quit making excuses. If Katy would of beat us in Lufkin would you still be making that same lame excuse?:rolleyes:

I would, cause to me it's the truth, at least for 2003. I know i got my clock cleaned on an INT our QB threw. There was tons of inexperience and i was one example of it. But, we learned from it.


You think Lufkin would have won had we played later that season in the playoffs...?

[dragonpants]

We have been fixing games for years and all of our players are on Roids. You need to keep up.

[Fleeman93]

Quit making excuses. If Katy would of beat us in Lufkin would you still be making that same lame excuse?:rolleyes:

If Katy would have beat Lufkin at the start of either of those seasons I wouldn't have thought Lufkin had a very good team. The 2003 team completely over achived to go on and win state and no one thought they were going to be a state team going into the season.

Oh come on you couldn't possibly know what you are talking about even though you were on the team.

:rolleyes:


By the way, congratulations on a great season that year!

[stinger]

Got your back jbusch...this guy is always a pest...just get some fleepowder. Unlike him Permian has class enough NOT to hold it over Trinity's head. The return match took care of that. Then the final game of the season answered all questions.:D

Oh and I guess Lufkin never has problems to start off seasons with inexperience on our teams......ok I guess only Katy has the right to make that excuse.


and do I think we would have won if we played in the playoffs.....let's see we blew you out in 02 and 03 and with the type of offense Katy has our defense usually plays well against, hmmm I wonder.......yes!

[LPack007]

Just another form of a lame excuse.

What's new though?...;)

[KT2000]

Well, this thread stayed on track...

The Reliant grass will be an issue in the second game, but I'd guess they will try and make quick fixes between games.

I wish they'd go ahead and put the FieldTurf down, then they could host all the games they wanted. I can't think the maintenance required to replace grass palletes as much as they do is very cost effective.

[farmerfan]

Dallas/FW loves pwning Houston enough as is, I think the metromess will enjoy the pwnage even more doing it in Skeeterville ;):notworthy

[Fleeman93]

What have I been a pest about? Is it because I disagree with your opinion and happen to stand by mine? The point I was making about 30-3 is that he is saying the Katy loss to Lufkin early in the season counts but Trinity supporters discount the loss to Permian as an early season offensive experiment that didn't mean anything. I will say that I am glad my persistence gets under your skin.

[twcpfan1]

In downtown Houston? Around Shepherd and Richmond, Rice Village etc inside the loop might be better for that kind of thing. Plus I think it's even closer to Reliant.

[Fleeman93]

Just another form of a lame excuse.


We lost the game to a better team at that point in the season and I have no problem with that (championship trophy is nice). My point was that the Lufkin fan chalked that win up as one of their better against a Houston area team and I was just saying that Katy wasn't that good at that point in the season.

Actually Lufin usually starts very fast. They peak too early and get uset in the playoffs.

Katy Offensive game plan takes along time to master it usually takes about week 8 to see it come together.

But honestly since Joseph took over in 04' Katy hasnt lost a pre district game since Joseph took over. I think its becasue they have become far more balanced since Massey left.

Sorry about that.


But im just glad it's at Reliant this year,..hopefully like you said they can get the grass situation fix between games..

Reliant is not in the best part of town. There are lots of places for less than $30 a night. You might want to try the galleria area. It's about 10 minutes from the stadium and all the major players are there.:D

Hmmm, how many State rings did you say you have recently? :rolleyes:

[Fleeman93]

Hmmm, how many State rings did you say you have recently? :rolleyes:


I could only dig up one poll on 2003 but did you know that Lufkin started the season at #1 in that poll and finished the season at #29 in that poll. On the other hand Katy started the season at #9 (way too high) in that poll and finished the season #2. I guess it is true that it isn't how you start the season but more how you finish. Lufkin seems to better at starting strong and not finishing.

:rolleyes:

I'd rather have 2 losses and the hardware at the end anytime. :D

Right, I was hoping to make a point of that for Lpack. ;)

[PCW Cats]

I agree about the grass at Reliant. I am not sure why they didn't put in the fieldturf when they built the stadium. I was hoping that they would have the game at Rice, but I knew they wouldn't because of the unpredictable weather.

They did have it at Rice in 2003 for the North Shore/Woodlands Final.
