Lufkin travels to Woodforest stadium next Saturday afternoon so the Highlanders can kick their:Censor:. Gotta be that from all the smack talked by all the people from Conroe. I think Lufkin should save the gas and concede the game. After all Conroe The Woodlands have not even lost a game and Lufkin is just 4-4. I put up a poll just so the Conroe people could overwhelm the message board voting for the Woodlands! I figure finale score to be woodlands 91 Lufkin 0.

Not sure where the extra-negative attitude is coming from but there's no way the score will be that high. Oh wait, I forgot. You can't score less than 0...I guess the score will be that high for Lufkin.

Sarcasm meter at full power.

I would not pick The Woodlands for such a huge blowout. Tinz looked extrememly good for the TWCP game tonight. If, and that is a BIG if, they happened to start Tinz for this game, the magic that Lufkin is looking for might show up.

Any team can be beaten on any given day. Just depends on the "Heart" of the team.

Now Please, tell me that I am wishing for that which will never be. You never know with this particular Lufkin team. I have not forgotten North Shore by any means.

ya never know....;)

There's always the on any given Friday factor but TW is at the top of their game and Lufkin never knows which game they're going to bring. I'll post my predictions once I've had a chance to do some analysis.

It's here at The Woodshed. It's Lufkin. That's enough.

TWHS remembers last year. Not an up your skirt kinda blowout...but a serious affair nonetheless. Expect a lot of green D.

Lufkin will put up a good fight against the Highlanders, and may even pull off the upset. It's gonna all depend on how well the offense plays and how consistent they will be. Lufkin's D should be up for the challenge. Here is something to point out. The Woodlands allowed 17 points to College Park, Lufkin only allowed 6 points to CP. If Lufkin is on their A game, they have a really good shot. It just depends which offense shows up though. This team is gonna be REAL dangerous come playoff time, wait and see.:cool:

I am not going to predict -- LP is STILL LP -- Im hoping TWH gets out of this game with a win --even by one point

BTW -- even though it is in CONROE ISD -- you will upset people on both sides of the river if you confuse Conroe with The Woodlands - 2 differnt worlds

Not sure if Lufkin will start Tinz. If they do, they might have a better chance. It will be tough either way though. TWHS should be able to come away with a 14 pt or more win

I'll have to agree with the statements about Tinz. If he starts and plays I really like LP's chances. Lufkin's biggest problem has been turnovers "18 in 4 losses" and the majority were not forced by the opposing defense;). As an example 3 turnovers against Northshore and 3 TD's, LP was in scoring position 7-8 times againstConroe and 3 ints and 2 fumbles and come away with 0 pts, just have not been able to close. Tinz does seem to bring the needed consistency, and with that I think LP would be undefeated right now, but that's just my humble opinion. Lufkin has been the other teams best offense;)

Most on this site have heard this ad nausea, but if the Lufin O does not implode the D becomes even better and Lufkin wins;)...unfortunately we have seen the worse:confused:

TWHS is at the top of their game and will no doubt bring it, but I would be very surprised if the game was not close. Been a long time since Lufkin has been an underdog in district play, but TWHS has proven thus far to be the better team and you guys have earned the right to talk as much smack as you want...been a while since you were able to...enjoy!

if the coaches dont send that elephant home, i guess i will have to call some one to remove it.

you know that every coach lp has , put the best athlete at qb . they done that even back in the day with ronnie blake. its time out with that madness. they need to start in peewee or 7 grade grooming qbs.

I really think TWHS will dominate Lufkin. The Woodlands defense just gets better each week. It is not just one individual. They gang tackle, force turnovers, constantly put pressure on the qb and have alot of speed and quickness. Anyone of the 11 starters can and will "clock" an opponent that comes within striking distance. The offense is high powered with many weapons. Just name a receiver. They are all capable of making a game breaking catch at anytime. The running game adds another dimension with the speed of Lasco. Even his back up, Cory Michalak, can do the job when given the chance. McCloud can pass or run. He is a threat either way. Eastman is unstoppable at the goal line. Everyone knows he is getting the ball yet no team has been able to stop him (that I can remember).This just goes to show what a good offensive line this team has. Special teams are also very good. Eastman doesn't have much hang time with his punts but has excellent placement. I predict Logan Rowe will break either a punt or kick return for a TD one of the next two games. Maires may return a kickoff as well. Either one can take it the distance. I don't see any opponent returning a kickoff for a score. Either they are tackled before any type of wedge is formed or Nick Adamo stops them if they break through the pack. This is a very, very good team.

Yeah. IF Tinz were to start, it would be a tall order to ask him to lead the offense and beat the #3 team in the state. However the rest of the offense skill positions are talented enough that it could be done.

LP is still LP they have talent can run and D will fly to the ball they have one of the best D players in the Nation and a good WR who has smoked everyone this year some great players Mesquite DB going to OU and NS secondary. so this team can play and if they can cut the turnovers and play with some fire that the woodlands will play with it will be a great game. I just dont see Lufkin getting blown out man that has not happned in a long time. they will not be scared from playing the # 3 team in the state because rankings dont mean nothing once you get in the playoffs.

I expect Lufkin ready to play and will put on a show and will play with pride and win this game not a shoker it is not like Lufkin has to pray to win they have talent and speed and football is football.

GO PACK

LP WINS this game Close. playing Longview,NS,Mequite,Lee and JT will have them ready for this big game.

woodlands in their usual blowout?

Don't think The Woodz has had a feel good Blowout since Katy, so the usual no, but if given the chance to put up a couple extra points they do it. LP has been the king of the hill and the Woodz is 0-4 against them, so if the opportunity arises; yes they will seek a little pay back for the 31-7 in 2006 and the 42-17 in 2005 not to say it won't be like 04, 35-28 or last years 18-15.

I look forward to a defensive struggle in the first half and with a little luck and some LP gifts The Woodz to break it open in the 3rd.

35-17

They will not be nearly as big and as fast as The Northshore defense.

I guess Lufkin will just have to show up and go from there :D

BTW Tinz was 2-3 with most of his yards coming on a bubble pass to Tra Horace. Nothing spectacular. Claybon was 13-20 not a bad game on his part either the INT he threw bounced off of Trimbles chest. Not to mention Trimble dropped an easy 6 in the first hafl. Neither QB will make any difference. The best QB is playing right now. Dont believe go to the practice field at 2:30.

If anybody gets the nod at QB over Claybon it better be Smiley. Cant hit what you cant catch;)(He is an elusive little creature). If anything Maybe Outlaw should think about dressing him out on the varsity this week just in case the Lufkin offense implodes as usual. Would be a change of pace back there. Yeah Claybon is a dual threat but there is a big difference from 4.6 to 4.4, and that is what Smiley Brings to the table.

Lufkin's defense is to good to get blown out this game. If the offense can put some points on the board I like our chances. BTW Lufkin defense should be a full strength for this game we get our Starting DB back.

Lufkins only chance on winning the game relies on Trimble. Already gave one of Bob Stoops boys the business this year. Trimble is a freak and I cant understand how we cant score in the Redzone with him. Just lob it up to him and let him go get it. He is going to get his regardless of what The Highlanders do Saturday.

Guys, good grief.

This thread isn't even going to last until tomorrow at this rate.

If you haven't noticed, racial slurs/innuendo, rich vs poor, personal attacks, and political discussion don't ever end well. Nor does it have anything to do with the football on the field, which is what this board is about.

Please get it back on track and leave the accusations out of it.

Agreed. Back to the Woodz vs Lufkin game - Lufkin has a slight chance to upset the Woodz, but I will be honest. I wasn't in awe of the Woodz on Friday night. They played solid football, but never amazed me. I knew they would be good, but I don't see this team on the same level as Euless Trinity or Allen. Could be wrong. TGO will likely be in attendance for the Lufkin game... but man, it is in direct conflict with the Florida vs Georgia game. Decisions. Conflicts. Confusion. It's the pressure, people. :D

I think everybody is getting a false sense of how good this team (TWHS) really is. After the Katy game, I think they've purposely eased up on the intensity level. (except for the CP rivalry game) .And because they have not looked as good as they did in Week 1, people are starting to have doubts. Pure speculation on my part, but I think it's by design. They are expecting to extend their season several weeks so they are playing accordingly to allow for it. I'm not even sure you'll see the same intensity level against Lufkin this Saturday. Revenge games are not a priority. Once they get to the one and done games, I think the week 1 intensity level will be back. I'll have to agree to disagree with TGO. I think they stack up very favorably against the DFW powerhouses.

I don't want running backs taking the snaps I want a quarterback. Tinz is a QB. Smiley and Claybon are RBs and slot receivers. There is a spark on offense when Tinz is on the field. Anyone who has been to a game and can't see that needs to visit TSO. Claybon has gotten worse as the season has progressed not better. If Lufkin sticks with Claybon @ QB, they will be turning in equipment on 11/17. Plain and simple.

Dude how many of the JV games have you watched this season? You are hyping D. Smiley up to be more than what he is. I do feel he will be a very good qb by the time he is a senior but he is not what you are making him out to be. Not yet anyway. I have seen in another thread where you said he was accurate. I ask again, how many JV games have you watched? Right now he is a better runner than Claybon but his passing is not too much better than Claybon's. In fact, in the last JV game against CP he was VERY erratic, held on to the ball way too long and could not make the decision to run when all the recievers were covered. Many times he had an open field too. He ended up losing yards. I have watched ALL of the JV games that he has QB'd in this year. In fact, I have watched him since he was in 7th grade. I have seen EVERY game he has played in since then. I know he can be a very good to great qb and it has been exciting to watch him. He still has very much to improve upon but once he does that, WATCH OUT!!!!

On to Tinz's play. The passes he made that you make sound insignificant are the same ones Claybon has problems making. Heck even in pregame warmups with no pressure Claybon struggles to make them. I pay attention to all these things. Do you? I am not saying Tinz is a super star qb but I am saying if given the chance I honestly believe he would give us a better chance to win. Will he mess up?I am sure he will but I seriously doubt it will be as much as what we have seen from our other qb.

You can't go by stats to prove someone had a good game. Stats can be very deceiving. All you have to do is look at film and see who bailed who out. I don't think Claybon is a bad kid or athlete. I just know what I see on the field.

Do you or did you play? Are you a coach now? How do you know these things? Are you saying this because you think Smiley will be our next QB? That is very possible but Smiley has A LOT of work to do. He is a very athletic kid and he shows promise for the future but I have also seen him look VERY much like Claybon. I think by the time he is a senior he will be a great QB but only time will tell.

Have you seen Smiley play QB in every one of his JV games? How many games have you seen him play? I can honestly say that I have seen him play more games since he was in 7th grade than his mother has. That is not a knock on her because I know her job prevents her from making all of his games. I have been to all the out of town games he has played in since 8th grade. His mother has only been able to make a few out of town games since then.

So is your prediction that Tinz will sit the pine next season based off of the "little" that you have seen, heard or read about Smiley?

Do you or did you play? Are you a coach now? How do you know these things? Are you saying this because you think Smiley will be our next QB? That is very possible but Smiley has A LOT of work to do. He is a very athletic kid and he shows promise for the future but I have also seen him look VERY much like Claybon. I think by the time he is a senior he will be a great QB but only time will tell.

Have you seen Smiley play QB in every one of his JV games? How many games have you seen him play? I can honestly say that I have seen him play more games since he was in 7th grade than his mother has. That is not a knock on her because I know her job prevents her from making all of his games. I have been to all the out of town games he has played in since 8th grade. His mother has only been able to make a few out of town games since then.

So is your prediction that Tinz will sit the pine next season based off of the "little" that you have seen, heard or read about Smiley?

Yes I have been to his Jv games with his mom and yes I do agree he has some work to do, but it's funny how you have now changed your mind on him since you have seen one little drive of Tinz. Lmao didnt you say he would be the starter last year also Lpfan? ;)

But whatever i'm done talking about it.



As far as him being the starting QB next year goes, I totally agree with you. No bubble being popped here. I think he will win the job next year and might even end up being second string during playoffs. I have watched him play the last few years and he has looked VERY good the few games he was able to QB for the JV. When he is playing with the varsity it really HURTS the JV because we don't have any other true QB's.:eek: That is all I will say about that.:cool:

I think everybody is getting a false sense of how good this team (TWHS) really is. After the Katy game, I think they've purposely eased up on the intensity level. (except for the CP rivalry game) .And because they have not looked as good as they did in Week 1, people are starting to have doubts. Pure speculation on my part, but I think it's by design. They are expecting to extend their season several weeks so they are playing accordingly to allow for it. I'm not even sure you'll see the same intensity level against Lufkin this Saturday. Revenge games are not a priority. Once they get to the one and done games, I think the week 1 intensity level will be back. I'll have to agree to disagree with TGO. I think they stack up very favorably against the DFW powerhouses.

:D:D But It's Lufkin, I hope/think they'll all be well rested, focused and ready to play...

Dude how many of the JV games have you watched this season? You are hyping D. Smiley up to be more than what he is. I do feel he will be a very good qb by the time he is a senior but he is not what you are making him out to be. Not yet anyway. I have seen in another thread where you said he was accurate. I ask again, how many JV games have you watched? Right now he is a better runner than Claybon but his passing is not too much better than Claybon's. In fact, in the last JV game against CP he was VERY erratic, held on to the ball way too long and could not make the decision to run when all the recievers were covered. Many times he had an open field too. He ended up losing yards. I have watched ALL of the JV games that he has QB'd in this year. In fact, I have watched him since he was in 7th grade. I have seen EVERY game he has played in since then. I know he can be a very good to great qb and it has been exciting to watch him. He still has very much to improve upon but once he does that, WATCH OUT!!!!

On to Tinz's play. The passes he made that you make sound insignificant are the same ones Claybon has problems making. Heck even in pregame warmups with no pressure Claybon struggles to make them. I pay attention to all these things. Do you? I am not saying Tinz is a super star qb but I am saying if given the chance I honestly believe he would give us a better chance to win. Will he mess up?I am sure he will but I seriously doubt it will be as much as what we have seen from our other qb.

You can't go by stats to prove someone had a good game. Stats can be very deceiving. All you have to do is look at film and see who bailed who out. I don't think Claybon is a bad kid or athlete. I just know what I see on the field.


Claybon has never had a problem throwing the bubble screen pass. The WR's have had a problem of making the first guy miss like Horace did last night. How many pass attempts has Tinz took this year. How many times have you seen him get his pass batted down thorwing the curl route ? My point exactly. Tinz is a very soldi back-up put he stands what 5'7 5'8 to small to play QB.

Claybon always is taking the blame from a crappy O-Line and no running game. Like I said the more Tinz play's the more game film DC will have on him. There is a ton of it on Claybon not so much on Tinz. Like I said go to the practice field at 2:30 and watch practice and then tell me Tinz is better.

Neither QB would have made a difference on the season. I actually fill we would have lost to Tyler Lee is Claybon didnt pick up the slack. Lets not forget that he is playing injured with a Bruised thie.

Yeah Like 007 said Tinz get use to common off the becnch because Smiley is taking the snaps next year. How do I know this well at the Conroe game I asked Bush is he the starter next season and he told me yes.

Also I doubt Outlaw sent him down to help the JV. They are making sure he gets all the snaps at QB he can get this season before its all said and done.

Look kid grow up and learn to read and comprehend. I have not changed my mind on anything. In one of my previous posts I said "I think he will win the job next year." There is a BIG difference in saying "I think he will" compared to you or gametyme saying "He will." One is thought, and one is stated as fact. Since I don't know that he will be the starter next year I will not say it unlike you. I do think it is very possible for Smiley to start next year. I even stated that he might even end up as the second string qb in the playoffs but that is just pure speculation. He is a great athlete and I have said he looked good in the few games he has been able to play qb for the JV. Having said that it does not mean he is mistake free. He still needs a lot of polishing up on his qb skills to be a very good varsity qb. With hard work I think he can do it. I hate it when he plays up and can't play qb for the jv because it hurts the team.

My only question to you is how can you be so sure he will be the starter next year? Well scratch that, since you were with his mom then it is obvious you are going to be completely biased. I do believe you have not seen Smiley play qb for the JV much this year because he has only played 2 of them at home and the rest were out of town. The other times he played on Varsity and he did play qb a little bit against NC. Other than that I bet you were not at the one out of town game his mother was at when he qb'd for the JV against North Shore.

I have never implied that Tinz is the man. You obviously don't really have a clue about the game of football do you? You honestly think most of us knowledgable fans think that from what little we have seen of Tinz that we think he is a super star qb. You and gametyme need to grab a clue. You are not as smart, cute, or as funny as you think. All people are saying is give Tinz a shot. Nothing more, nothing less.

How do I know this well at the Conroe game I asked Bush is he the starter next season and he told me yes. This shows your credibility. What kid who hopes to be the starter next year would tell you he would not start? If the coach has told him he was the starter for next year why is he not the second string by now? It is very obvious we need someone to come in and play for Claybon when he is struggling. If Smiley is ready to go now why is he not in there? If he is truly ready then I would like to see him play just as much as you would. Since he has not played qb on varsity other than cleanup duty against NC then I would venture to say the coaches don't think he is ready just yet.
Also I doubt Outlaw sent him down to help the JV. They are making sure he gets all the snaps at QB he can get this season before its all said and done. Did you figure that out on your own?

"There have been a ton of (successful) six-footers … Jim McMahon, Fran Tarkenton, Doug Flutie," said Texas Tech coach Mike Leach, who ironically entrusts his offense to 6-foot-3 Graham Harrell. "I met (Flutie) and he is short.

"They say you need a 6-4 guy to stand 10 yards back to see over a guy that's 6-7. That's foolishness. You pass in lanes."

In truth, the fallacy that height is required for quarterback success should have gone out the window for good when 5-foot-9 Doug Flutie won the 1984 Heisman Trophy. Since then three players who were 6-feet or shorter – Syracuse's Don McPherson, BYU's Ty Detmer and Georgia Tech's Joe Hamilton – were consensus first team All-Americans.



"Size is not as big a factor," said Kansas coach Mark Mangino, who starts 5-11 Todd Reesing at quarterback. "You need a smart guy with a quick release and leadership abilities. How tall a guy is is down on the list of priorities."

The Highlanders are looking to 4PM Saturday, November 1, 2008. In the meantime they will prepare for that moment as if nothing else matters...because nothing else matters.

You only worry about what you can control...and you can't control what North Shore, Euless Trinity, Abilene, SLC, and a host of others are doing. So the best way to get your pudding is concentrate on your game plan for the Lufkin Panthers...the team that beat you last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, etc. Dang, they've owned you for years. But that is not a factor in Saturday's game.

There's a lot of folks that just don't believe you are as good as your touted to be (and many that do, as well). None of that matters...what matters is what you believe. Who are you? What is important to you? What turns you on? Do you believe you control your own destiny? Well, I'm here to tell you that you DO CONTROL YOUR DESTINY...just like all of us. It is within you to do great, just as it is within you to be less. You must will yourself to be great. By controlling yourself, working within yourselves, and working together, you will state exactly who you are and what you value as individuals and as Highlanders. Your legacy is your own.

The time has come for you to get the purple monkey off your back. Obviously, it all depends on how prepared you are, and how well you execute. Be certain the Lufkin Pack isn't going to roll over and let you take their pride away from them...that's something you're going to have to do yourself...and you better be prepared for a physical and fast game. I think you will be. Others may not...but it's irrelevant what we think. All that matters is what you DO. Your will is your own. Embrace the power of being in control, don't shy away from or question it. Once you master yourselves, the rest gets much easier.

Good luck to you, Highlanders. I hope this game is well-played and both teams come away healthy.

Okay. Thanks for clearing that up...I was afraid I was misunderstood.

And yeah, you don't get a lot of trash from fans of a 3-8 team in high school...you'd have to have a buncha drunks from a 3-8 college team to get that!

I will say, however, I think we were the best 3-8 in the state last year!:D And yes, thumpins and upsets are always right around the corner...so Highlanders get ready and prepare for the assault!

For chow, I think teXan provided a great reference, and depending on budget Pappadeauxs is right on the corner, the aforementioned BBQ joint on Sawdust is great and Lupe Tortilla is good Mex as well. Seafood there is Babin's, steaks there is Sawdust...Heck you can hurt yourself in about a 3 block area right there. Also, Pei Wei is good fast Asian Food (noodles, chinese cuisine, etc)

As a season ticket holder, I have been able to see most the Panther home games this year. Needless to say, after watching LP stumble and bumble their way along, I wanted to stick an ice pick in my eye and end it all. Then by chance I was in The Woods the night of the Highlanders played CP. I was impressed. Looked alot like Southlake Carrol to me. And we all know how the Pack fairs against the Dragons. Great timing routes by the wr's. If the pack loads up on the pass, #1 will have a career night runing the ball. With that said I believe the pack will have to play a mistake free game to have any chance to win. Even then the Woods will be at Home and that might be enough in itself.

As a season ticket holder, I have been able to see most the Panther home games this year. Needless to say, after watching LP stumble and bumble their way along, I wanted to stick an ice pick in my eye and end it all. Then by chance I was in The Woods the night of the Highlanders played CP. I was impressed. Looked alot like Southlake Carrol to me. And we all know how the Pack fairs against the Dragons. Great timing routes by the wr's. If the pack loads up on the pass, #1 will have a career night runing the ball. With that said I believe the pack will have to play a mistake free game to have any chance to win. Even then the Woods will be at Home and that might be enough in itself.

It's ok PackTracks. Take a deep breath. Your post will remain a secret and is safe with us here on the thread. A visit with Mr. Jack Daniels seems a bit more tolerable than the ice pick in the eye.:D:D

I would vote for Lupe Tortilla just south of stadium on north bound access

In Potofino Shopping center itself :


Buco de Bepe ( Italian )
Pei Wei ( Chinese )
Katz Deli


At far north end of Portofino : HOOTERS

At shopping center south of Home Depot : Subway , Fox & Hound Sports Bar

If you want to go to mall or market center --many many choices --- all price ranges from fast food to up scale steak houses , Cheescake Factory , etc

there is a pretty good Mexican Resturant ( Rico's ) on Research Forest just west of intersection with 45 ( at entrance to Shenandoah )

OK -- to keep from getting off beaten path --

If coming in on SH 242 --go under 45 --turn right into WalMart lot --look for WILLIES on the access rd ( Burgers ribs , Catfish , etc sports bar Ice House )

Continue southbound on access rd --- Outback , Red Lobster , Cafe Adobe

turn under Fwy head north --just north of Home Depot -- Katz Deli & Buffalo Wild Wings

Little north of their you have Pei Wei Chinese & Buco De Bepe Italian

norh of there is Hooters

next street is where you have to turn to stadium --there is Pappadeaux Seafood

IF you want to go to Chuy's --DO NOT PASS UP PAPPADEAUX --park in the far northeast corner of their parking lot & you can walk thru the hedge row to Chuy's ( I do it all the time ) --if you drive to Chuy's parking lot you will have to go back north to 242 and start over


there are other places within sight & in Portofino --- but these are the best as far as Im concerned ( just my opinion )

If I was to leave Lufkin at 1:00. What time do you think I will make it their. I have been to TW High School once for a B ball game but really cant remeber how fast it took me. I dont really know where the stadium is at but Im usually good with directions.

The reason im asking is im suppose to get off of work at 2 saturday but I kind of told a tall tail to my boss and I believe if everything goes according to plan then I think I will be headed out maybe around 12:45.

Take 59 south-then take 242 west-then take I 45 south (stay on feeder & in left lane) go under the overpass @ I 45 & Research Forest (depending on the time there may be a cop directing traffic)-this puts you on the I 45 north feeder...stay in R lane and follow signs for stadium parking. You should make at least 30 minutes before kickoff if you leave @ 1:00. This does NOT account for traffic.

I thought the stadium was great. What I liked the most was the room between rows of seats. I like the height of Abe Martin stadium in Lufkin better but I would give it up Not to be crammed up. The problem I forsee , especially for a Saturday game would be traffic into the stadium. Lufkin fans making the trip should allow plenty of time to get in and settled. GREAT PARKING though. I had to sit in the Woods overflow section on C.P. side and was treated great by everyone. Even after they found out that I was from Lufkin. C.I.S.D should be proud of their new stadium. Well done!

I agree, the traffic can be slow getting onto the north bound feeder. It generally flows pretty good after that.

I used to make the trip to East Texas a lot --- from my home ( about 1 mile from stadium ) to south Lufkin --it usually took me about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours ---depending on construction , traffic , and unecessary slowdowns it places like Shepard , Legget , Moscow , potty breaks , etc

Coming thru Splendora to 242 -- WATCH OUT FOR PATTON VILLAGE SOUTH OF SPLENDORA --- INFAMOUS SPEED TRAP --THEY WILL TICKET YOU FOR MINOR THINGS LIKE LICENSE PLATE OBTSRUCTION , TAIL LIGHT OUT , ETC

Thanks for the heads up. I have only been stopped once before making trips up and down 59 to houston. Needless to say they got me in Corrigan I know I almost made it back to Lufkin.

Im glad to hear an hour and a half sounds like even if I do end up staying to 2 I have an outside shot at making Kickoff.:D

if you are close to Conroe or Woodlands but not in time for kickoff ---tune it to 88.3 FM for play by play --- just dont put too much stock in what the 3 clowns announcing say

Speaking of that , does anybody know what happened to David Buttachalli (sp) and KTWL 105.3? I've never listened to the CP broadcasts since I'm always at the game. But they used to do a sports show on Wednesdays intrviewing all the Sth County coaches. I used to listen to the Webcast all the time. Did the station fold?

Thanks alot.

I do got somebody to cover my shift satuday so I will be there by KO, but I will tune in after the game to hear the stats breakdowns and what not.

I usually sit in my car until anywhere from 15-20 minuted before KO. I usually bo guard my way to a good spot but sad to say I think there will be plenty of seats saturday on the Lufkin side. So I might end up listening to a little Higlander pregame.

BTW I am glad there will be plenty of parking room. Lufkin parking at Abe is a Joke and something should be done about that.

at the only complete sellout so far (TWH - CP ) --the entire " back 40 " of the parking lot was empty --I would guess about 200 - 300 parking spots -- course even though it is on stadium property -- it is still a pretty good walk from there ( lol ) --- the entire parking lot has parking for 3300 ( including busses )

They should have cut down on the parking and added more seats. They have more than Moorhead now anyway. What's another 1000 or 1500.
