Right you are... I predict I will wait

[da hawaiian]

too late. Hey when are you guys going to start the "unofficial official South Lake Carrol thread" you know you guys can't continue to fly under the radar with all these lop-sided scores, do you?

ssssshhhhh......."We only have a couple returning starters and are rebuilding"....:D

Too funny, I'll play along tho, but pretty soon you won't be able to hold back the inevitable

Well it's true.

[SLC93]

Sad but true. I only hope are kids will pull through.

[drgnbkr]

I say the Dragons will swat the skeeters!

[SLC93]

I say the Dragons will swat the skeeters!

I think the worst thing to happen to Mesquite's chances in this game was our dear friend, Ike. Say what you will about the challenge, or lack thereof, that Bellaire presented. For Mesquite it was, at least, a guarantee that this young group of Dragons would have no more than the usual amount of time to prepare for them. Wasson won't admit it, nor should he, but to have no game last week provided his staff with a tremendous opportunity. We have two games worth of experience and appear to be growing by leaps and bounds. To be given a few extra days to review, polish and prepare during a season is a rare gift. Mesquite is in trouble, the bad kind. Carroll will roll in this one, 42-7.

[green day]

Until ScottS signs off on this thread, the crystal ball is way too fuzzy...:)

[SLC13]

Well since Scott S. seems to be missing this week, here's how I see it....On Friday the Dragons travel to Mesquite for a big game with the 2-1 Skeeters. Mesquite has wins over Lake Highlands and Hebron, but lost this past Friday to Garland Naaman Forest. Comparing the teams.......

Mesquite
Offense avg: 24.7 ppg and 313.0 ypg
Defense avg: 25.3 ppg and 372.3 ypg

SLC
Offense avg: 39.5 ppg and 424.0 ypg
Defense avg: 9.5 ppg and 282.0 ypg


With the week off I expect the Dragons to be really energized right out of the gate and play that way the whole game. Mesquite will draw energy from the home crowd and will keep it reasonably close in the 1st half, but the Dragons pull away in the 2nd half........

SLC 38
MHS 14

[slcdragonfan]

ditto on slc 38 - MHS 14

[SLC]

Well it's true.

It is true.

But I can't take it any more... can't wait on scott.


After ALOT of time to reflect... The Dragon players are chomping at the bit to play someone... There well rested and prior to said rest, were staring to make some strides in their play.

The Skeets just came off a gruiling,pounding running attack in GNF.. who's defense is not near on the level of Carroll's. I think this is a bad week for Mesquite to be playing us. Our running game may not be a "pound it down your throat" threat.. But it is very effective.. I think with the passing game starting to realize their potential... Our spread attack is going to be overwhelming to a Skeets defense that gave up alot of yards and points to GNF. Their QB can throw though... But they cant control the clock enough to keep us from scoring a bunch in this one.

SLC 42

Skeets 13

And we need a poll in this too.;)

This is turning into a real mystery, as we are well past the normal time period when we have a post from ScottS. This prolonged absence is becoming very worrisome. I will not predict until I have the proper authorization from ScottS.

[green day]

Without football action last week, this is a blue collar week for predictions but let's give it a shot...

* Prior to the game, a sea of green stands ready to enter thru the gates, assume their spots on the visitor side of the field AND NOT ONE SL FAN CHOOSES TO SIT ON THE HOME SIDE.;)

* Those same fans make some serious noise to help the Dragons return to form.

*At least one creative Mesquite HS banner claims that they will "Slay the Dragons"

* Early in the game following a defensive stop, a Skeeter punt travels up into the air, returns back toward earth, is caught by a Dragon return man and we actually advance the ball from that spot.

* Defense sets the early tone on both sides. SL gets a late score right before half, and once again rev it up in the last 2 quarters, pulling away with a hard earned 31-10 victory.

* All is right again in the land south of the lake. Toonman begins calculating minutes we'll need to wait thru til Saturday nite's War with the Shore.

Stay thirsty, my friends!

[da hawaiian]

How would you say this defense rates in comparison with your 2006 unit? That unit was big time at DE and LB. The DB's weren't too shabby either. I used to obssess over Padron's highlights and just marvel at how quickly he processed things. Amazing instincts, football intelligence...what ever it was he had IT.

[ScottS]

Sorry guys, I've fallen down on my duties around here.

Being that we will be in Skeetville, wouldn't it be more fitting if their banner said " Ride the Dragons for 8 seconds"?

How would you rate Jackson Richards against Bryce Saldi?

[dragonpants]

Sorry guys, I've fallen down on my duties around here.

I was not trying to steal your thunder. Just a little crazy since I did not get my fix on Friday night.

[dragonpants]

Isn't that being a bit radical in your prognostications? :rolleyes:

It could happen we have attempted to block a few punts lately.

Baby Steps.

[dragonpants]

How would you rate Jackson Richards against Bryce Saldi?

Totally different players. Jackson is much bigger. Saldi was more of a speed and finesse guy where Jackson is more of your stereotypical big body, very strong defensive end. He is pretty quick but more of a bull rusher and contains better. I would say that these defensive ends are better than in '06. Ok Dragon fans do not throw darts, just MO. I think Burnett is better than Russo, Kyle was awesome but Burnett is at another level. Richards is a true defensive end and I think if it were not for the line backing corps in '06 Bryce would have been a better fit at OLB.

This years Linebackers are good but at this point not as good as in '06 and I think they DB's on this years team are comparable to '06.

This years defense is very very good.

Without Scott S provind this poll, Mr Pants just cost the medicore going to finish .500 Dragons their first game of the season.
Maybe the calprpes site was onto something kowing a selfish fan would attempt to take the one thing Mr Scott looks forward to each week.
I predict Mr Pants will be escorted out of Southlake this weekend :D;)

I have already apologized to ScottS and I was unaware of the protocol.
As you know due to Calpreps we have already written off the season and were going to forfeit the season but we did not want to deny our opponents the thrill of beating the once mighty Dragons.
We have already starting the recruiting, I mean rebuilding process for next year.

alright I will answer both of you suck holes, nothing related to Plano, farmer.

I do not drink Coors light. I drink Vodka and chase it with Rolling Rock when available.

Now as far as Panther goes, you are the one that backed out of the beer drinking last time and Friday because of that I am having surgery #2, nothing serious, outpatient deal. However I will be easy to spot in Mesquite on Friday night, I will be the big one with the Dragon tattoo drooling on himself. The meds take a while to wear off, but they are way better than anything I have ever drank. Instead of getting drunk with you I was forced to spend quality time with the family and the kids jacked me up.
Old age suck, not as much as Plano but suck none the less.

You should be banned for addingthe work suck and not following it up with Plano, OU or the yankees.

I LOL at people who drink Rolling Rock :Music

[mesquitefan]

Don't know about the rest of the Mesquite faithfull, but I am very excited about the Southlake Carroll game. The Skeeters have a good group this year and should win a few more games. I'm realistic though and this probably won't be one of them. The only time I've seen the Dragons in person was at the matchup with MNW and that was a great game.

Good luck to all.

"Lord please keep the Dragon fans, team, band, cheerleaders, etc. safe on their way to and from Skeeterland and make this an injury free game."

GO SKEETERS!!!!

I did not want to steal your thunder regarding Plano, no one could ever do it as well as you do. The Yankees and suck should never be in the same sentence unless the Red Sox are also in the same sentence, for example,

The Yankees are a dynasty and the Red Sox suck worse than Plano.

How about this (oh great Carnack)? Dragon O establishes strong running game in week 3. Avers seen on the field with mic in hand giving post game interview as the co-offensive player of the game. Padron spreads the ball around to 7 receivers in his prolific passing exhibition. He too is seen in his typical post game stance with mic in hand and headphones in place.
Specific enough??? If you want details, I will need a few days.....still a little fuzzy, try again later.......

[genghis]

Dang. I figured as much. So who are the mysterious voters?

Not a lot of mystery here arrogant username one!:D I too tend to root for the underdog... I am making the Skeeters a sentimental favorite in the "less than 10" catagory. Not a ton of logic to back it up... They are terribly athletic in the secondary as well as at reciever and if they limit the mistakes that have plagued them these past few weeks, they are surely capable of making this close. Keep in mind, this staff (sans pawn-daddy) only has three games under thier belts, with each passing week, they will continue to gel and the team on the field will benefit as a result.

In a close finish, I am going with history and say Mesquite prevails... Not to say that the Dragons are not capable of pulling out a close one, I am still in awe of the the way RD and CO capitalized after the Trinity fiasco at Texas Stadium a couple of years back. However, there was something sureal about that fumble last December that may have the MARK OF REALITY all over it... As an interested observer that day, I struggled to come to grips with that loss more than most of the green-clad coolade drinkers that surrounded me... It had been a given for so very long...

SLC will continue to be a very good team for the foreseable future, there is simply too much talent in the pipeline for that not to be a reality. However, the days of cyclical 16-0's are a thing of the past... Peace!

And pants, I am trying really hard to love you too you big tatted up, drugged-up a-hole! :)

SLC will continue to be a very good team for the foreseable future, there is simply too much talent in the pipeline for that not to be a reality. However, the days of cyclical 16-0's are a thing of the past... Peace!

And pants, I am trying really hard to love you too you big tatted up, drugged-up a-hole! :)


WOW... You just single handedly deflated the air of confidence in the "Green Room".

But I will add that we are not looking for 16-0. We are looking for 3-0. This team is a young talented team. So we will take it one week at a time. By taking this approach 14 more times we will be 16-0.:D

[DrEdward]

I did not want to steal your thunder regarding Plano, no one could ever do it as well as you do. The Yankees and suck should never be in the same sentence unless the Red Sox are also in the same sentence, for example,

The Yankees are a dynasty and the Red Sox suck worse than Plano.

Even this season.....:D:D:notworthy

[DrEdward]

Not a lot of mystery here arrogant username one!:D I too tend to root for the underdog... I am making the Skeeters a sentimental favorite in the "less than 10" catagory......

Well, at the moment, it looks relatively certain that Carroll will not be 16-0 this year, even if they manage to win the game a week before Christmas. :rolleyes:

"Drugged up a-hole"?? Do you actually know pants or slc? :confused:

[dragonpants]

Not a lot of mystery here arrogant username one!:D I too tend to root for the underdog... I am making the Skeeters a sentimental favorite in the "less than 10" catagory. Not a ton of logic to back it up... They are terribly athletic in the secondary as well as at reciever and if they limit the mistakes that have plagued them these past few weeks, they are surely capable of making this close. Keep in mind, this staff (sans pawn-daddy) only has three games under thier belts, with each passing week, they will continue to gel and the team on the field will benefit as a result.

In a close finish, I am going with history and say Mesquite prevails... Not to say that the Dragons are not capable of pulling out a close one, I am still in awe of the the way RD and CO capitalized after the Trinity fiasco at Texas Stadium a couple of years back. However, there was something sureal about that fumble last December that may have the MARK OF REALITY all over it...

See Genghis,you started out having a somewhat lucid post not meant to piss anyone off. As I stated in previous posts, love is highly over rated and I have enough of it in my life but you really need to loosen up but if not oh well.
The philosophy somehow evades me.
But in keeping with the thread, I am not going to highjack my own:D
What historical template indicates that Mesquite prevails in this one and apparently the cosmos aligned and caused the fumble, last December?
No a couple of human beings made those mistakes.

It is strange however that underachievers do tend to cheer for the underdogs, rather than appreciate those that are successful. It is too hard to fit in with that crowd.

Step up and try the Kool Aid, rather than simply hating. That is easy, misery loves company.

Not that I am going to defend him, but I do have a Dragon Tattoo, that has been photographed actually by the best photographer in the Metroplex;) and I posted earlier that I am having outpatient surgery on Friday and will be still be suffering the effects of general anesthesia by the time I arrive in Mesquite on Friday night. I do not think that makes me a drugged out a-hole.

...and do you have a tat on your other arm and have a Harley? If so, I know you:D and appreciate all you do for the District.:D

[trojanbacker]

I think that SLC having an off week to prepare is going to add to the carnage. I think they'll win handily.

[dragonpants]

...and do you have a tat on your other arm and have a Harley? If so, I know you:D and appreciate all you do for the District.:D

sorry wrong guy. I do have a tattoo dedicated to my kids on my other arm but no Harley.

Which means there is another Dragon lover out there with our beloved Dragon tattooed on him?

That is bad arse.

I know a certain principal that does have a Harley and was fascinated by the tat and contemplated getting one but I have not followed up with him.

[dragonbuck]

I think that SLC having an off week to prepare is going to add to the carnage. I think they'll win handily.

I hope you are correct, but I think the week off will hurt us slightly, at least in the 1st qtr. I still expect a solid Dragon victory, but extra time to prepare is not what the Dragons needed. They needed quality reps against an opponent not dressed in green and to hit someone hard that they don't know on a first name basis, ie. they needed a real game. With only 1 scrimmage this year, and only 8 quarters under their collective belt, they were just beginning to feel "it" in the 2nd half of the Arlington game. I expect a little rustiness this week. Hopefully it will get worked out in the 1st qtr instead of the 3rd qtr.

Area 5A No. 3 SL Carroll vs. No. T14 Mesquite, 7:30 p.m. Friday (at Mesquite's E.H. Hanby Stadium)

Southlake is in a familiar place, starting the season 2-0. With Kyle Padron under center, Carroll has averaged 424 yards per game. Mesquite is 2-1 for the first time since 2003. Senior quarterback Luke Halpin is averaging more than 261 passing yards and two touchdowns per game. Prediction: Mesquite 31 Southlake 14

Should be Carroll 14 as there is no Southlake High School

So, looks like our pass defense will be tested. Maybe we can get a bit if a rush going from our defensive bookends. That is a pretty bold prediction however, 17 points.

I guess there is a still a possibility for a 16 game season should Carroll be able to pick up a game in what would have been the off-week before district play starts and assuming that North Shore will be able to get open by the end of the week. The former has at least a 50/50 shot at becoming reality; the later would require the electricity to be back, water purification systems to be restored and the sewer/sanitation faciities to be functioning again plus the students and teachers to be back in the area. Does anyone know the status of North Shore? How are those good folks getting through this?

[genghis]

I do not throw empties on Panthers lawn that is that a-hole Genghis, who started up with Panther and me again today.

Don't sound so shocked my new found friend... I believe you were the one slinging your "a-hole" around to begin with... To tell the esteemed Dr that you have no idea where it comes from is tantamount to a lie... I am guessing that won't fly at the Dragon Round Table now will it!

On to better topics; it is great that you support your child's team so rabidly. I mean that with all due sincerity. I would bet we have seen one another as I was at the GMS/SLC 7th grade games on Monday. I had no dogs in that hunt, rather a friend's son tore it up with a couple of TD's for the green hooligans. Quite proud of the kid regardless of the uni. Mine little one was digging everything about the day, I know I am going to have a real tough battle convincing him to run cross county...

Peace!

Damn... 'pants can Bring IT! Nicely done... but you gotta know your gonna' lose this one...

I, being a Patriotic American; was raised to believe that the creed of this country is to always cheer for the underdog!
To take the side of those in need and protect them from the tyranny of the all powerful!
To hold up those ideals as a proud banner and justification as to why we exist! O' to see our forefathers as they clawed their way up the mountain of moral and idealistic decay to raise the Red, White and Blue proudly for all to see and aspire to.
THEY, my dear friend were the original UNDERDOGS! It was they who have left an inspired legacy for us to uphold! And how dare we now forget those sacrifices made in the name of something greater than our checking accounts... something greater than a 10 oz peppercorn fillet at JR"s...

I had more to say, but it was drowned out by a rousing, standing applause here in my own head...;)

I heard on a certain radio station a year or so ago, a caller for a random contest say he was from S-lake... The hosts ask him how he thought he was going to do and he replied "I am going to win", the hosts warned him that the odds were pretty long against that and he responded with "I'm from Southlake, everyone is a winner, none of us know how to lose...":eek: I wish to one day speak with that man, in the mean time, that is a great perspective until one considers the inverse... how does the "Winner from Southlake" view the rest of us "underachievers who cheer for the underdogs and just resort to hating because it is the easy thing to do"?

Well Genghis this is where we differ philosophically. I think that those patriots that came before us did not look at themselves as underdogs, while that may have been the case and certainly they understood the odds but were more focused on the job at hand and were not seeking a rally cry because we are the little guys, please admire us for what we are doing even in defeat because at least we tried.
If you win or succeed were you really the underdog. Who decides that?
Life is not based on an odds maker in Vegas.

If you took the time to get to know the people of Southlake you would find that we are not focused on our check books or how thick our wallets are. The truth is they are thinner than most people would think. Most of us are willing to sacrifice other things to raise children in an excellent community, excellent school district etc.
We have pride in our community not our material possessions.
We support each other and our surrounding neighbors.
That is what makes us different and again that groundwork was laid well before my arrival.
Our kids are not raised by nannies.

Do not hind behind the flag and think that is going to fly or make your argument more palatable. Do not insult those great Americans that created this country by somehow relating their sacrifices and achievements by comparing them to a high school football game.

Seriously drink the Kool Aid.

If you have that much of a problem with people from Southlake and Colleyville then leave.

Talk about getting a sense of humor... damn 'pants, you need a drink! As to your points, in my humble opinion, valid for the most part. You are missing some factual stuff about us literally being the underdogs until post-1945 when Europe had kicked its own @ss and we were the only ones left standing. Then our nuclear and economic advantage gave us the upper hand for the next 70 or so years.
And really, unless you KNOW someone's background... never tell them what to do with their patriotism or the flag... Not being a &ick...Just not a good idea...
I had a coach back in the day that used to say, "young men! Football is as close as you little weeny teenagers are ever going to get to war, so you had better enjoy it before you have to fight it!" That dude was a real *****, but eerily prophetic...

I have nothing real against S-lakkei humans, just f-ball... I have met many fine residents of that imitation of a real town. Many of my comments were very personal, (I salivate at the thought of a 10 inch peppercorn fillet from JR's, a COLLEYVILLE steak house... if you haven't been, you can't understand) and if you find them to be personally insulting... stop looking in the mirror my long lost "brotha from a different motha"!

Back to the game. Keeping in mind, I really have no idea what I am saying. ..I believe someone really has their finger on the right pulse, forgive me for not recalling who when they stated that the Dragons need game reps not practice reps... nothing could be closer to the truth. These kids have been getting hundreds of reps a week for years (during practice)... What they need are game reps against quality competition to truly maximize their acquired skills.
That off week is only an advantage is you have key players who are hurt. Otherwise it serves as a distraction and a momentum killer. With NorthShore on the immediate horizon, it is easy to overlook the recently defeated Skeeters and spend 10 days thinking about the long awaited matchup... Keep in mind, these kids are like every other, they too lay awake at night and dream of making the big play in the big game and if there happens to be a not-so-big game in between... oops! :eek:

Peace!

You don't win 93 of 96 by overlooking anybody, let alone a tough, fast bunch like Mesquite. OL Carnahan and WR Powell are, in fact, healthier as a result of the cancellation.

I don't mean to suggest we need a 12th man tomorrow but it would be nice if the Dragon faithful that make it out tomorrow brought some noise for our boys. I suspect a very hostile environment awaits us.

Keeping in mind, I really have no idea what I am saying. ..I believe someone really has their finger on the right pulse, forgive me for not recalling who when they stated that the Dragons need game reps not practice reps... nothing could be closer to the truth. These kids have been getting hundreds of reps a week for years (during practice)... What they need are game reps against quality competition to truly maximize their acquired skills.
That off week is only an advantage is you have key players who are hurt. Otherwise it serves as a distraction and a momentum killer. With NorthShore on the immediate horizon, it is easy to overlook the recently defeated Skeeters and spend 10 days thinking about the long awaited matchup... Keep in mind, these kids are like every other, they too lay awake at night and dream of making the big play in the big game and if there happens to be a not-so-big game in between... oops! :eek:

Peace!
Go Skeeters!

If you're going to quote me, you might at least try and quote me..this is my post:

3 things:
1. No one makes apologies for winning
2. I don't know of a soul who hates someone from another area
3. I'm not sure about everyone, but I don't eat at JR'S because of the prices.
Have a nice day!

If your going to hijack a thread, get a clue and find one where someone cares...Oh yeah...I wouldn't listen to a therapist, so I don't have a conflict between a good steak and one, I have met and like Farmerfan, even though we do occasionally yell at each other on here.

[genghis]

Dude, get over yourself and stop highjacking threads, I was having a private conversation with 'pants after which I refocused this wandering thread with some real, live, football opinion!
If you have one, I would be glad to hear it! As for Farmer, don't name-drop the legend... it just doesn't work for you...:(

Peace!

Oh, and I am amazed that nobody has worked with Padron's feet... He is going to have to do some serious work before next fall getting immersed in one of the original "chuck and duck" offenses that JJ is rolling out on the Hilltop.

(see, football refocusing!)

[QUOTE=genghis;886181]

You don't win 93 of 96 by overlooking anybody, let alone a tough, fast bunch like Mesquite. OL Carnahan and WR Powell are, in fact, healthier as a result of the cancellation.

I don't mean to suggest we need a 12th man tomorrow but it would be nice if the Dragon faithful that make it out tomorrow brought some noise for our boys. I suspect a very hostile environment awaits us.

I hear that pregame tickets were very limited and thus were being sold at only the two HS campuses. As of mid-afternoon yesterday, tickets were still available at CHS and a call went out over their PA as a reminder to the students. I hope I'm wrong but we may not have the level of support we've been used to at this game.

Well, I know of two more that will be there. I'll call the school and see if they still have tickets. Any tricks/suggestions on parking? Never been to this stadium before; looked it up on google maps, appears straightforward.

[quote=dragonpants;885413]

Talk about getting a sense of humor... damn 'pants, you need a drink! As to your points, in my humble opinion, valid for the most part. You are missing some factual stuff about us literally being the underdogs until post-1945 when Europe had kicked its own @ss and we were the only ones left standing. Then our nuclear and economic advantage gave us the upper hand for the next 70 or so years.
And really, unless you KNOW someone's background... never tell them what to do with their patriotism or the flag... Not being a &ick...Just not a good idea...
I had a coach back in the day that used to say, "young men! Football is as close as you little weeny teenagers are ever going to get to war, so you had better enjoy it before you have to fight it!" That dude was a real *****, but eerily prophetic...

I have nothing real against S-lakkei humans, just f-ball... I have met many fine residents of that imitation of a real town. Many of my comments were very personal, (I salivate at the thought of a 10 inch peppercorn fillet from JR's, a COLLEYVILLE steak house... if you haven't been, you can't understand) and if you find them to be personally insulting... stop looking in the mirror my long lost "brotha from a different motha"!

Peace!

GO SKEETERS!!!

Wasn't questioning anyone's patriotism, just insulting to some to compare the two. Enough said.

Good to see we are not going to end up with an 8 game season as we will be playing on Oct 3 and the North Shore game is technically still on but I understand they have bigger issues than a football game right now but Panther is down there helping them out.

Glad you like JR's stay over there in Colleyville we do not need the tax revenue that badly.

By the way I love what I see in the mirror each day hence the reason I spend so much time there.:D

Will be good to get back to football, kick some butt. I cannot wait until week 11 and maybe then people will stop talking about the decline of the Dynasty. We are actually enjoying it. It is fun. It is actually quite a compliment that people want our football team to fail so badly.

I agree. I have only been here a little over 3 years but it amazes me how much people are focused on when the "run" is going to end.

Based on what I have seen from 7th grade through JV and the number of juniors we have playing this year, it is not going to be anytime soon.

I feel bad for the Skeeters. From what I've heard the kids have had a tremendous week of practice & the defense is dying to decleat someone. I think this will be a high energy, crisp game for the Dragons. If NS does get to come to town, this is the tune up we need.

Carroll - 42

According the Cal Preps we are in dire straights and we already have 2 wins and would have won last week so we are only allowed 2 more.

Carroll loses by 3 touchdowns:D as we attempt to run back 3 punts and fumble each time that turn into touchdowns for the blood sucking insects.

"pants, you need to come to grips with the punt returns... in my limited experience and observation, offensive head coaches are big fans of the fair catch and then getting their O on the field where they have control of the calls and the risk/reward. It also looks really good to have all of those extra yards on the stat sheet!
Your defensive head coaches tend to be the ones with the exotic returns, walls, cross kicks etc... punt return is a defensive special team personnelled with most exclusively defensive guys. That and getting the ball as far away from the goal line as possible...
During the dodge era, it was incredible to watch a booming punt and the returner fair catch with no one within 20 yds of him... The offense would jog on to the field at the 15 and then go 85 yds in 6 plays to score...
If you are going to pull the plug at 50pts, you need to rack up as much yards/experience as possible on your way there.

[trojanbacker]

At Trinity it is very different. For some reason I'll never understand, they never call for a fair catch....even when it is the smart thing to do. I hold my breath every week as I watch the guy settle in under the punt and then get creamed. It will eventually come back to bite us.

Will you be kicking away from Trice? A threat to go the distance at will:confused:

[DrEdward]

Judging by the jv performance last night against Mesquite, the Skeeters have some speed on their squad. The Carroll defensive secondary had better be prepared to play a solid games this evening.

I can't imagine there will be. I was last in that stadium when 3A Carroll played in the '93 state semis. Believe the seating capacity is 12 or 14K.

[Green Dragon]

What were the scores?

~DnM

Green JV won 45 - 35 and it was a battle. Mesquite has some speed but no stamina as the Green team just kept the ball longer when it counted. Some big boys out there were huffing and puffing in the maroon and white.

Black JV played our friends from across the street, Colleyville, and whupped up on them 47-14. Was interesting for the first ten minutes but the Panthers just couldn't keep up. This unit really looks like it is gelling nicely and has a lot of promise for the future.:D

[TexasSportsFan]

Freshman Green won 35 - 0. Freshman Black also won, something like 35-14.

[SLC93]

I was there that day, too. Great win over a strong Tatum team. Seating will not be an issue for this one.

That would have been the 93 playoff game vs. Tatum, won by the Dragons 28-14. Stadium was plenty big back then and Tatum brought a nice crowd. Travian Smith, 6'4" 210 lb's was the running back for Tatum....went on to Notre Dame and the Raiders.

Don't extrapolate unfairly my fine scaly friend... I was very specific when I said "the next two years" will be the window for ScottS' game prediction thread to actually have some competitive validity...

Carroll Dragon win 35-10... Great job boys...:notworthy ***** didnt make it easy...

As always there is still much work to be done... Main thing I see is the recievers need to stop dropping balls.

Defense keeps showing they are the real deal..:notworthy

Lets hope we will see GPNS on Saturday...

[green day]

Without football action last week, this is a blue collar week for predictions but let's give it a shot...

* Prior to the game, a sea of green stands ready to enter thru the gates, assume their spots on the visitor side of the field AND NOT ONE SL FAN CHOOSES TO SIT ON THE HOME SIDE.;) NAILED IT

* Those same fans make some serious noise to help the Dragons return to form. NAILED IT

*At least one creative Mesquite HS banner claims that they will "Slay the Dragons" NAILED IT

* Early in the game following a defensive stop, a Skeeter punt travels up into the air, returns back toward earth, is caught by a Dragon return man and we actually advance the ball from that spot.

* Defense sets the early tone on both sides. SL gets a late score right before half, and once again rev it up in the last 2 quarters, pulling away with a hard earned 31-10 victory. NAILED IT

* All is right again in the land south of the lake. Toonman begins calculating minutes we'll need to wait thru til Saturday nite's War with the Shore.

Stay thirsty, my friends!

NAILED IT!

[dragonbuck]

NAILED IT!

Speaking of "nailing it," what about my prediction that Avers gets offensive player of the game and does radio show????? pretty good, huh Carnack? Don't tell anyone how I overestimated the offensive production however. I did say 42-10, not bad.

Aahhhhhhh, Genghis. I'll be honest. I don't even have the energy to get caught up on all the drama with you & Pants. That said, GO DISAPPEARING SKEETERS BANNER! or something to that effect. My comment was not directed at you, unless you choose to sit with the masses that await our downfall like Jebediah awaits Armegedon. For the record, it's been us against the world for quite awhile now, being lonely at the top and all. If I'm following you, the freshmen talent pool scares you more than the current junior class? Not doubting you perception, that's just a truly original opinion. For the most part, this junior class is regarded as the potential best our program has produced.

I thought Smith played for Oklahoma.

What I can tell you is Dane Johnson thought that backfield was unreal. That was a talent laden squad for Tatum.

You've done well, grasshopper. Now, will you use your powers to get us a game next Saturday?

[drgnbkr]

I thought Smith played for Oklahoma.

No, he was moved to linebacker and played at Notre Dame and had a decent career at Oakland. The other running back for Tatum, Anthony Hodge, (both had over 200 yards rushing the game before Carroll) played at Baylor.

I appreciate your self-distancing from the drama... It is just work induced stress releaving... nothing more, nothing less. As to my perception of your pipeline. Unless quite a few of your playmakers were up on the varsity last season as sophomores (which I am fairly sure was not the case) your "A" team JV was absolutely stroked by Colleyville at D-stadium by 30 or something similar... Don't get me wrong, 30 points is bad, but the man-handling was much worse... it was like watching the SLC CHHS game from two years ago during the regular season... you remember, the 35-7 halftime mess... I have no idea what the final was, I had blacked out by that time.

As for the JV last year, maybe the moon was wrong, but that limited view of them tends to throw that class in a fairly unattractive light. Is there something I am not aware of? Something that would explain my "original" opinion?
And no, the kicker/backer kid does not count as your "all of the talent on the varsity". Yes he was up and kicked. Has anyone seen the size of that kid's muscular development??? To have arms like that as a 16 year old...Someone should sit him down and have a talk with him... (there are other things to be doing with his time besides working out... what did you think I was going to say?)

Peace!

Last years sophs on varsity that did not play JV:
Cade Foster - Kicker / backup role at LB
Mitchell Osborne - backup role at LB
Cody Weaver - backup role on OL
Jackson Richards - Started all 13 games at DE
Tommy Avers - Backup roll at RB / Started all playoff games
Will McWhirter - Backup roll on OL
Lincoln Schick - Backup roll at LB and DT

These 7 players may have had an influence on JV...

Weren't Ben Perry and Tony Barone also on varsity? Or did they play JV as well?

Also, did Kyle Williamson play Colleyville last year? He was injured for a large chunk of the year, wasn't he?

Ring beat me to it cuz thats how he rolls.:D I made this comment several times during the course of last season. It bears repeating. Name another program of Carroll's profile that has ever had seven sophmores contributing on the varsity level. You can't because it just doesn't happen. The 2007 squad lost far too many games to injury. For the most part, however, these kids stepped into active roles and were not the reason Carroll bowed out early last season. I think 7 players of varsity ilk missing from a jv squad would have had more than a minor impact on whatever game it was you observed. Perhaps I misunderstood. I took your post to mean that you were extremely impressed with our 9th & 10th grade kids but not so much with the 11th grade class. That really struck me as odd. Perhaps the jv fails to impress you this season because so many of the junior class are earning letters on the varsity squad. Clarification?

No, he was moved to linebacker and played at Notre Dame and had a decent career at Oakland. The other running back for Tatum, Anthony Hodge, (both had over 200 yards rushing the game before Carroll) played at Baylor.

This says he went to OU.

SLC,
I was working on that chant last night at the game and I'm thinking when Mrs McCombs retires, I might have to try out to do it.

:D

Last years sophs on varsity that did not play JV:
Cade Foster - Kicker / backup role at LB
Mitchell Osborne - backup role at LB
Cody Weaver - backup role on OL
Jackson Richards - Started all 13 games at DE
Tommy Avers - Backup roll at RB / Started all playoff games Started 1st 2 games at CB.
Will McWhirter - Backup roll on OL Started last year. He is a senior this year.
Lincoln Schick - Backup roll at LB and DT

These 7 players may have had an influence on JV...

Others also on Varsity
Tony Barone - Backup OL
Ben Perry - Backup DL

Would have likely made a very good JV last year positively evil....

[green day]

Those juniors are quite the weight room rats... Barone recently set some school strength record involving a bench... everyone is putting in the extra time to get better and stronger.

[SLCBELIEF]

doesent Cade Foster hold alot of the school lifting records???

[dragonpants]

I appreciate your self-distancing from the drama... It is just work induced stress releaving... nothing more, nothing less. As to my perception of your pipeline. Unless quite a few of your playmakers were up on the varsity last season as sophomores (which I am fairly sure was not the case) your "A" team JV was absolutely stroked by Colleyville at D-stadium by 30 or something similar... Don't get me wrong, 30 points is bad, but the man-handling was much worse... it was like watching the SLC CHHS game from two years ago during the regular season... you remember, the 35-7 halftime mess... I have no idea what the final was, I had blacked out by that time.

As for the JV last year, maybe the moon was wrong, but that limited view of them tends to throw that class in a fairly unattractive light. Is there something I am not aware of? Something that would explain my "original" opinion?
And no, the kicker/backer kid does not count as your "all of the talent on the varsity". Yes he was up and kicked. Has anyone seen the size of that kid's muscular development??? To have arms like that as a 16 year old...Someone should sit him down and have a talk with him... (there are other things to be doing with his time besides working out... what did you think I was going to say?)

Peace!

Cade is an excellent student and one of the nicest kids you will ever meet. Has a great family, I not met his Dad but have met his Mom a few times and they are very good people.

[genghis]

I was not aware of the many sophs up on the varsity last year... yes, they would undoubtedly have made a difference. As to Colleyville, this seems to be their best class. Of this class, six sophomores played up and saw significant or starting time during the quarterfinal run of 06'. (y'all remember that one I imagine... losing to you guys twice in one year really sucks.)

Oh and if you have not heard/(smelled), an old SLC friend-of-the-program just reappeared

Help me out. I didn't see whether Genghis said or implied there was a grudge.

I'm not quite sure why anyone is discussing an unscheduled game.

it is more like off-season than it should be, at least of late. few/no good games this week.

Intersting... I find it funny that you feel you have the right to even join this conversation... I have yet to ascertain any level of knowledge you possess pertaining to the game that is football in the years I have read this forum; especially your contributions to it.

However, I would like to thank you, you allowed me to pick the username "genghis". I was unsure as to the maturity of picking one of my all-time favorite historical personas as a username, but when people are using fantasy gaming personas... well then, why the hell not!!!?


Peace!
