Arlington vs SLC prediction thread

[ScottS]

Who wins?

[slcdragonfan]

Define blowout.:)

Anyways, I think this game is like Plano West, only better for us. Seeing how the D played, and thinking that the O will be getting their chops, I'm going to say 38-10.

[green day]

I will have no predictions....;)

[DrEdward]

Careful..... Remember Carroll will only win 4 more games this season. :rolleyes: Don't waste your winning predictions on non-district games.:cool:

[slcdragonfan]

In light of Doc's fine advice (and a quick review of Arlington), I would like to revise my prediction. 28-14, SLC.:notworthy

[toonman]

Southlake wins easy. High 30s by Southlake to single digits by Arlington.

[LPack007]

Cal Preps doesn't know anything about Texas football!! if that is who you're talking about, but anyways SLC wins.

[hollywood]

SLC ... plenty big enough. Call it a blowout.

[hollywood]

10-0 is not impossible folks. The schedule is not a cake walk by any means. You know what it is so I will not elaborate. I predict a fun year for the Dragons proving the doubters wrong.

[dragonsdaddy]

poor sportsmanship by peach the lesser. he has a whole resume of less than honorable actions and quotes which makes his appearances as a color guy on slc playoff(he is available early) radio very disturbing. the colts have shown the (lack of) class on both meetings, and i expect more of the same. i'd love to see a blowout with seconds by the third.

[AE 8008]

arlington in a blowout? honestly....

[DrEdward]

arlington in a blowout? honestly....

No, dd said he would like to see a blowout. I don't think he is expecting one.

CalPreps is all knowing and all wise in all high school football everywhere in all situations. They are my inspiration in all matters. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

[biggolfdad]

what about a peach?

:ninja:

[the_phoenix612]

35-10

[AE 8008]

No, dd said he would like to see a blowout. I don't think he is expecting one.

no no, im talking about the goofs who picked arlington to win in a blowout

[SLC93]

Week one & game two will serve to quiet some of the naysayers who have somehow taken a 35-9 win and used it to hammer the coffin closed on our dynasty. I expect a shut out to be pitched by a defense that has the potential to develop into the best EVER for Carroll. I also suspect that the wr's will bounce back a bit, too. Any of the morons that expected a brand new oline to be firing on all cylinders in the first game need to watch more games. The strides that unit will show in the first few weeks should be a joy to watch. Padron will get stronger with every pass he throws. One thing many will have to come to terms with is this offense may be more power based than in years past. I love the fact we appear to have two quality runing options and a qb who is unafraid to tuck it, also. As the offense gains game experience I would expect there to be more wrinkles and deep shots. For now, let 'em get their feet wet. I predict marked improvement from the offense as they become more comfortable in their big boy, Dragon skin.

Carroll - 38
Arlington - 0 - which is oddly similar to the shape of a peach.

:D

[DrEdward]

Oops. :o

[ScottS]

SLC 42
Arlington 13

[HebronHawk]

Arlington is the same team that Carrollton Creekview beat by 20 points.

Is SLC going to use their JV to play part of the game?

[green day]

OK, here we go... things I predict we'll see on Friday-

* After a dismal showing by his Colts in the first half and with play-off hopes a stretch, Arlington Coach Scott Peach joins Kelly and Mulligan in the KKGM booth to get some early work in as the color man for the Dragon network

* The SL pre-game routine increases in intimidation with all players making it safely thru the helmet

* New offensive weapon, punter Scott Lopano, is seen getting in leg stretching warm-ups with our high kicking Emerald Belles

* Thousands of " loyal" Dragon fans entering Dragon Stadium are surprised to learn that there was a zero week game already played...

* The Dragon Shop unveils a new line of Dragon products, including the Richards-Burnett figurines- "they make great bookends!"

* The offense begins actually gaining yardage on first down plays...

*... which produces a much improved attack, though unnecessary as the defenses pitches their first shut-out. Dragons send their fans home happy, with a 38-0 thrashin'

* Bonus item-Sadly, all is not well locally, as the 4A Aledo bunch pound the 5A Grapevine team across the street at Mustang-Panther stadium, 37-3... shame

Make a pledge to Jerry today, everyone, and have a safe, Labor Day!

Creekview torched the Arlington defense for almost 450 yds. including over 300 on the ground. :eek:

It's likely to be a long night for the Colts.........SLC 42-14

Arlington are expecting great things this season, with 10 starters returning on Offense and 8 returning on Defense. I guess that is why they scheduled the Dragons, thinking they would be good this year. But losing to Creekview by such big score does not augur well for this Friday's game.

[AE 8008]

Or perhaps it was just some really bad initial first game jitters on the part of the Colts or by the peach. I too was expecting a much stronger showing by Arlington, given their returning players. I agree that they scheduled Carroll in the belief that they would be much stronger than they showed out of the gate.

anybody doing anything before the game? i think some friends of mine and i are going to hit this game up.

[SLC]

I got it for something like:

SLC-51
Arlington-14

[green day]

Any Colts fans out there? Lots of returning starters... how will it translate Friday nite? Also, anyone know what field the JV games will be played in Arlington...

the first meeting doesn't need explaining if you were there. lots of crap in pregame. during a po game in ts, peach the loser advocated, while doing the color analysis, that taking a penalty to try to get one of the dragon players injured was a good stategy. it was well documented and discussed on here.

[SLCFan]

The Dragons win this one by 2 TD's, and as much as I'd like to see it be by more, I think Hal will sit on the lead.

[dragonpants]

I think that Arlington will play better than last week but if they got lit up for that many yards it is still going to be ugly.

It is amazing how opponents get fired up to play the Dragons but that excitement is short lived, historically.

I do not see the starters getting much time after a couple of series in the third quarter.

My memory is not what it was. I know that the Dragons played Arlington in the Play-offs in both 2002 and 2003 and I remember attending both games; but I was not aware of any pre-game-crap. Unfortunately I did not join this Forum until 2005, so I missed the discussion at that time.

[DragonFan0316]

Maybe Wasson will open up the offense. Either way, SLC will runaway.:Music

We probably talked about it more on here than the players would. Lot's of dirty stuff in the pile-ups and cheap shots by Arlington. The 02 game was competitive for a half and the second game was a blowout, so I'm sure the Colts were frustrated..they just didn't handle the frustration as mature high school kids...:rolleyes::D When Peach suggested on the broadcast that taking out a Carroll player was worth a penalty, it kind of sealed the deal.

[SLC Dragon Fan]

By the way, Scott Peach did not take over as head coach at Arlington until the 2003 season. In 2002, Joe Don Finley was the quarterback and his father was the head coach. Joe Don graduated that year and his father left Arlington which made room for Peach.

Signed by the 49ers as an undrafted free agent.
Made the practice squad.

[green day]

So, was the Peacher defending JoJon's Daddy when he made that comment,
or was he the head coach at that time? Either way, it's worth noting... just want to get the timeline in perspective.

If you think this game ends up close, well... well, I'll move somewhere:D

He decidedly did make such a statement, unbelievable as that may be for any coach, but in particular, a high school coach. I believe he was the head guy at Arlington at the time such an outrageous statement was made. Hopefully one of the station's staff or sponsor beat the guy around the head with a rolled up program for awhile once they recovered sufficiently to even believe that he had said such on the air.

It was one of the Carroll playoff games after 03, when he was the HC at Arlington, doing some work for one of the stations.

[trainin' the game]

slc big; i'm mean as big as wasson wants it to be! i hope he wants it big; not alot of class over there at AHS.

[green day]

Word is that practice wasn't too much fun. Shouldn't be this time of year. My guess is we see a different sense of energy on Friday nite in front of the faithful.

I can't be alone when I say how fun it is to hear our PA guy announce..."Folks, it's Friday nite, it's football time and you're in Texas! It doesn't get any better than that.."

Listen for it about 10 minutes prior

I agree home games are the best.
On an extremely important note, has anyone figured where we are all going to go after the game to celebrate now that Mel's is closed?

Hey neighbor! Can we drink adult beverages?:D

The atmosphere at Central Market was not like Mel's and everyone went home after they ate. Some will be going to Copelands this week. Copelands serves every kind of adult beverage and will be open late.

good luck finding a place that'll plastic up the place for the champaign spray, and hold your credit card until you come back, whenever, and serves cheese fries and sliders. dang, i miss mel's.

for any out of town visitors there is still a mel's on belt line in irving. it has fantastic home style food, but it isn't handy to ds. drop in and ask for little mel.

Can't say about the jv last night, but both freshman teams managed to win at Dragon Stadium in what can only be described as very long games. An excruciating number of penalty flags and a bunch of incomplete passes were responsible for the length of both games.

[CCCSportsFan]

Doc,
We had the opposite at the Black game... It was over in about 75 minutes... One of the fastest games I've ever watched.

[eagle66]

The green peach inherited a strong AHS program, but has taken it down pretty quickly.

[DragonFan0316]

JV Green won 33-8. Everyone played and it was a fairly quick game.

Almost 3 1/2 hours to kickoff. First game at DS this year. Can't wait. I need to get out of here(work) because I can't think about anything else. Friday night and Texas HS football. It don't get any better than that!:notworthy

Fairly close. Awfully slow start tonight for the Dragons but they came alive in the second half. This defense should be an absolute monster by the time NS comes to town. I like the fact the offense has two more games to gel, though. It's a different beast, the offense under Wasson, but I like the patience. Who knew a spread could be methodical?:D

[SLCDad]

In the 2nd half SLC scored TDs on their first 5 possessions. On their 6th and final possession of the half they drove to the Arlington 15 as time expired with the 2nd teamers in the game.
