**Dickinson Gators Official Thread**

[mossad]

gator4ever u are correct, galveston and La Marque kids are moving in

[GATA93]

I remember when we used to lose our players to TC, LM and Galv oh how times have changed :)

[Gator4ever]

Yea,


Now LaMarque has 998 students and we have 2200. If we combined schools we would still be 200 or so smaller than Lake.

Back in the 80's LaMarque had 1500 plus and Texas City was a solid 5A team too. Now TC has 1600 or so and both LaMarque and TC would be about 2500 combined.

It seems that North Galveston County is growing a lot and South Galveston County is shrinking. Dickinson sits in the perfect spot...lol. We sit North of TC and LM and are bodered directly onto the new schools and growing population. Seems we are central to all things in a way...

[GATA93]

Looks like now that we have an AD Trahan is spending more time with the players that is very good, has anyone been able to catch a practice

[rod]

Is this yall first scrimmage? Brazoswood played last sat. in deer park.

[mossad]

yes is will be our first scrimage, i have been 2 a couple practices, Back up running back James Thomas has really stepped it up, barkman has an arm like funchess and moves like Brody, offensive line blocking scheme LOOKS WAY BETTER!!! Cody Douglas was a huge addition to our coaching staff!! Coach Welch has our running backs looking sharp, didnt get to see what coach wood was doing (DB coach) or coach spies with wideouts. Defensive line is a nice size, linebackers look sharp and defensive backs are very athletic. Seen Trahan getting involved so that is a good thing. Friday at 6pm correct? Don Henderson freshman running back is very good!

[GATA93]

I think if Don Henderson keeps turning heads he will make playing Varsity ball by mid season the way TJ Boyd did

[GATA_gators]

TJ should have never have been moved up, he was too small at the time and it made his head a little too big

[Raving Fan]

Your posting at 3:07 AM ? Do Gators sleep? Looking forward to the Pearland game at Sam Vintanza Stadium. I hear it is very nice. How is the parking?

Go Oilers

lol! u right, that tends to happen

FINALLY!!!!!! I like what TRAHAN said!!!! GATA!

Dickinson’s Warren Trahan, a winner of several crying towels when the Gators were in Class 4A, received the spirit award. He sealed the award with the closing to his speech.

“They said they wanted us to give an inspirational speech here today,” Trahan said. “Well I get paid good money to coach football and give inspirational speeches every Friday night. Hopefully this year I’ll be making 15 of them, so I’m not going to waste one of them today.”

Trahan is on a mission this year and not having to worry about the AD duties he will have they boys ready EVERY GAME! G.A.T.A

[Gator4ever]

Historically it seems after one of his son's graduate he has an offish year. I'm thinking last year again was an offish year. After he gets through that process he seems to do better???

[mossad]

i hope that is the case, its sickening sometimes watching team after team with so much talent not to live up to theie fullest potential! Gator football revs up tomorrow G.A.T.A!

[kjube]

Count me in. The return of the REIGNING CHAMP. By the way thanks all for the new video game (Modern Warfare 2) the gift card paid for LOL...




Let me change one thing.


If you get the exact score for both teams then it's a 15 point bonus and not 10. If you get this bonus the other bonus would not be applied again for getting each teams exact score. if it ended 35-10 and you had it 35-10 then you get 15 points. If it ends 35-9 you would get the bonus for exact score on the 35 and also the bonus for both for being within seven points. So if you picked 35-9 and it ended 35-10 you would get the points listed below.


If the score ends 35-10 and you picked 35-9 you would receive the points listed below.


10- For picking the winner

5- For exact score for one team and in this case the 35.

3- For being within 7 points for the 35 prediction.

3- For being within 7 points for the 9 prediction.


If you got all three games correct it would be 30 points.
If you had the exact score for both teams it would be 15 points
You would still get the 3 points twice for being within seven for both teams at 6 points.


The highest you could score per week is 51 points.

[kjube]

Hey Mr Creek I am a alum of Creek Class of 83. But I am a native Dickinsonian. I will be at the Gators vs Creek game again this year. You guys had the refs in your pocket last year LOL but then again that is Creek for you. Sorry dude but I have to go with the Gators. My nephew is one of the LB's and a relative of McElroy. So they will go at again this year. Good to hear from you though.



Gator4, hope you don't mind a Creek fan posting here. Last years game was very exciting to watch. I will be the first to admit that creek got a couple of lucky breaks to pull that one out. Dickinson/Creek seem to play each other well on all levels(fresh,Jv& varsity) Looking forward to comming to your place to play you this year. If Creeks defense can improve,Which it should, we could be competive. Springs definitely will have a target on their back. People will be prepared to play them. I am just amazed at how they keep getting players/talent tranfering in to their school. Any way good luck to you this year.

[Gator4ever]

Kjube,


Okay good luck this season and yessss you are the CHAMP unless someone takes it from you....lol.


The Gators played LaPorte tonight in a practice session of sorts and things looked interesting indeed.


The defense looked good and seems to be very quick. They are almost ready and had only a very few mistakes of any concern.


The offense may have problems with the snaps and I think there were about 12 bad snaps during the scrimage. Way too many bad snaps and also many penalties for offsides/motion and that type of thing. Looks like last year in the penalty woes for the offense?????

The wildcat offense looks good and so does Chapman at QB. He just needs to settle down and get used to varsity play. His arm is very very strong and I saw him throw his first pass and it went 55 yards in the air.

LaPorte is solid and will be a team to watch for sure. They have some backs and a passing game. The LaPorte defense may be a weakness but it's early. They should go again to the playoffs.


Overall I'm wondering if we will be as good as last year? I think it's way too early to tell but if they come out hard next week and play with the SPEED they have then they should do fine. I'm not sure of anything yet but the GATORS have the talent to go places but we shall see.

The defense is FAST.....Barkman arm is STRONG....Don Henderson...a beast...freshman and jv squads look solid. Laportes defense is good, #41 on la porte....beast.....#1 on la porte hit our guy after being drove off the sideline and jermaine eyes were up field. Looking forward to next friday.

[GATA_gators]

not sure why they didnt give barkmann more snaps, i would have liked to see him play more, that other kid is a little too small to be out there it seems

[Gator4ever]

Here are the first three games to pick in the pick'em contest. Three games involved every week and the only game you need to pick the score is the Dickinson versus Deer Park game.


Dickinson @ Deer Park (pick the winner and score.)


Madison @ Pearland (pick the winning team.)


Clear Lake @ Chavez (pick the winning team.)



The rules for the contest are on page 100-101 and descibe the rules and prize.

[Gator-No Bull Please]

Since Coach Trahan "only" has to worry about football, with a $100+ salary, you would think he could get the names of his coaching staff in the Galveston Daily News preview correct. Coaches are listed that have been gone for two or more years. How long does it take to get the information correct? There was no Gator highlighted on the front page -- guess since there wasn't a Trahan playing, it didn't matter. I know they don't give us the coverage we deserve, but if you give complete the form and send it back, then at least you have a leg to stand on when you complain, if you don't, it's like *&^%(ing in the wind.

I was impressed with the defense Friday night, the offense has some work to do -- again, with the money he makes and the talent we have, he should have the offense ready.

Looking forward to Deer Park Friday!

GATA

[GATA_gators]

Dickinson over deer park 28-7

Madison
Creek

[GATA93]

Based on what I saw from the offense I am not too sure on the score but I think our defense will score some points on friday and I see Gators winning 21-7. I think once Barkman settles in he will do a great job, the wildcat is going to give other teams fits because our backfield is fast they can take to the house on any on those plays

[GATA93]

I was also impressed with our other running back, he is smaller but man does he have some power and nice speed and plays with a lot of heat. Tyrell is going to have a great year I think he will be one of the best RB in 24 5A

[GATA93]

I have not seen Deer Park play before, has anyone seen them? I know they always give LP a hard time so they pretty good. I will watch some youtube on them LOL

[GATA93]

I know last year they were pretty good but not sure how many returning players on defense or offense they have

[gator04]

Dickinson 35 to 10
pearland
lake

[Raving Fan]

Coming from that district I have a good idea what they have and don't have. Based on what I have been reading and that Deer Park is at home, Im going with......

Deer Park 14 Dickinson 13

Pearland

Clear Lake



Go Oilers

[GATA93]

Did you guy hear about that fight at the Clear Springs vs Spring game?

Raving Fan; thank you for your input I think they game will be intresting and could go either way but I am hoping that Barkman has a great game, Dickinson's defense looks very good even as good or better than LP's. If our offense shows up it wont be that close but if we start off slow it will be 21-7 Gators we score 14 in second half

[kjube]

Lets get this thing officially started:

Dickinson 23
Deer Park 14

Pearland
Chavez

[GATA93]

Pearland wins

Chavez wins

[Gator4ever]

GATA_Gators,


I got your picks and Dickinson score okay but you have Creek winning and it's a choice of Lake. I'm gonna assume your picking Lake to win.


Good Luck

There all the same to me LOL the Clear Schools

[Truth]

I'm back:yes::heli::D, well all I can say is the Gator defense is Nice and sure to bring the bite to all area offenses. Speaking of OFF-ense I wasn't to impressed with our offense at the scrimmage BUT I do see our potential. If you were at the scrimmage please tell me where were the training staff when the young man went down on the sidelines. The coaches were screaming for them and it took 10-15 minutes for them to get to the kids. Even one doctor out the stands was so angry he got up to come to the field but was eventually waved off. Why was the lady trainer on the other side line flirting according to one La Porte fan. Please pay attention we need our players healthy. After that hit its obviously that the kid might have a concusion. Great Job to coach Benight for paying attention to the Kid before he passed out. Really looking forward to this season. GATA GATORS. GFND-LAME- WE THE SWAMP BABY

truth;


Your right we do have lots of potential when ever we lined up in wildcat the LP defense looked confused and we made some really good yardage. We have a lot of athletes on our offense so we need to find ways to get everyone involved in different plays not sure who the second running back is but he is a load. The defense surprised me because we lost some good plays to graduation but looks like we did not miss a beat

Coaches let's get the ball to our playmakers hands on Friday night just let it all loose "who dat say gonna beat dem Gataz" who dat who dat say what!

[Gator4ever]

Dickinson 19 Deer Park 10


Clear Lake


Pearland

[jatj]

I'm gonna take:

Pearland
Chavez
and
GATORS 27 - 14

I think that smaller running back was James Thomas. I hear he works out very hard.

Key issues

1. How will Pearland do after making the switch back to 24-5A?

Pearland has jumped back and forth through the last few realignments, and after spending two years in 22-5A, the Oilers are back in 24-5A. Pearland won two titles here last time, but the new district is extremely competitive with Clear Springs, Brazoswood and Dickinson. Pearland has several key returning players, so it has a good chance to get back on top.

2. Can Clear Springs win another district title in Year 3 of the program?

The Chargers burst on the scene last year, making it to the regional finals before falling to Katy. This year, they have what it takes to go further, and that is the goal. With Pearland in the district now, it will be even tougher, but Clear Springs is still the clear favorite.

3. Who else will make playoff appearances?

Look for Brazoswood to make it back. The Bucs made it to the regional finals last year before losing to Cinco Ranch, and although defensive star Dartwan Bush graduated, Dean DeAtley still has some top players returning, including RB Rickey Lunford. Dickinson, Clear Brook and Clear Creek should also be in the playoff hunt.

Players to watch

Myles Kanipes, WR/DB, Sr., Pearland

Kanipes is one of the best all-around players in the area. On offense, he is mainly a receiver, but he can run and pass as well. He is also a beast on defense.

Tre’von Randle, WR/DB, Sr., Clear Springs

Randle had 15 rushing touchdowns last year and was a tackling machine for the Chargers.

Rickey Lunford, RB, Sr., Brazoswood

Lunford had 1,536 yards and scored 16 TDs last season.

Jashaud Sims, DB, Sr., Dickinson

Sims picked up three interceptions as one of his team’s top defenders last year.

Key games

Clear Creek at Dickinson

7 p.m. Sept. 24

Clear Creek is trying to return to the playoffs, and a win over Dickinson in its first district game would make a big statement.

Pearland vs. Clear Springs

6 p.m. Sept. 25, CCISD Vets.

This could determine the district champion. Both teams won their district titles in 2009.

Pearland vs. Brazoswood

7 p.m. Oct. 22, Hopper

These two teams renew a classic Houston-area rivalry.

Predicted finish

1. Clear Springs

2. Pearland

3. Brazoswood

4. Dickinson

5. Clear Brook

6. Clear Creek

7. Clear Lake

8. Alvin




They have us in 4th place but I can bet that if Barkman gets going with the offense we can be 1 or 2 G.A.T.A

[GATA93]

Today I am going to go scout Galveston Daily News's favorite team Clear Springs as they play Dawson in League City

[44444444]

I have not seen Deer Park play before, has anyone seen them? I know they always give LP a hard time so they pretty good. I will watch some youtube on them LOL


Deer Park
Good defense (very good D-line)
Avg Offense
Better than La Porte
Beat up on Strake last week

[another_screen_name]

Today I am going to go scout Galveston Daily News's favorite team Clear Springs as they play Dawson in League City

I hope you don't mind me barging in on your thread, but was wondering if you made it to the game, and your thoughts.

[mossad]

Clear Spring

1. Defense has range
2. Trevon Randle....beast
3. Very crafty offensive play calling
4. Qb can throw but can be shaken easy
5. Offensive line a lil shakey also
6. Reievers can make some plays
7. Will be a defensive game for us

[GATA93]

I hope you don't mind me barging in on your thread, but was wondering if you made it to the game, and your thoughts.

welcome to our board, you can post anytime. I did make the game and my thoughts were that Springs does have some very good talent, they can get u on defense, offense and special teams.I think that the Dickinson vs Springs game will be a battle of defense and a low scoring game.I think they started off pretty slow but really picked it up as the game went on Trevon Randle is the real deal...

[GATA93]

I also want to comment that Dawson will be a threat in there District I did not know Andre Johnson was on there team:D that #8 was a beast and will cause havoc in there district

[GATA93]

Does anyone know the results for the freshman,sophomore and JV game last night? We need to keep up with them also, that's our future Gator talent...:heli:

[another_screen_name]

I also want to comment that Dawson will be a threat in there District I did not know Andre Johnson was on there team:D that #8 was a beast and will cause havoc in there district

I agree, he was a beast. I have a feeling they will do very well this season. I heard they had 14 or so new starters this year. Once they gel, they will be tough to stop.

[Gator4ever]

GATA93,


Dawson lost 40 players but have some talent coming up right? I missed the game and heard that Dawson gave a good effort.. For being a 4A team they seem to be pretty good right?


I'm not sure about Dickinson because they hid a lot of plays in the LaPorte game but if we have half the plays ready with the talent we have then it's all good.. Seems the defense for Dickinson will be ready and VERY quick indeed....

I really feel we can beat any team we play in district this year because we have more than three capable running backs and a loaded arm in our quarterback. If they play a low scoring game as I suppose they will it will be good for conditioning for the defense and also get our snaps in line...

[another_screen_name]

I have to admit, I did and was worried for the first quarter. That reminds me I need to stock up on my Prilosec. We did start out slow as well as Dawson. I am hoping it was Preseason jitters. I think once both teams got in their grooves, it turned into a game. Dawson has some kids that did not want to go down. I am still trying to figure out that one play we scored on. I picked the wrong time to answer the phone.:heli:

[rod]

Good luck gators. Represent 24-5a.

[mossad]

#8 on Dawson should have been used more, when they double down on him you still throw to him. Just because they double him doesnt mean they can stop him, they should have threw 5 yard outs to him, stop routes, they just stopped using him.

[mossad]

Dickinson 24 Deer Park 21

I read this morning in the Daily News that Trahan said that our defense this year is the best he has seen in Dickinson from his arrival, that says a lot because we have had some good defense in Dickinson and last years D was a beast. I remember sitting in the Dickinson LP scrimmage saying "WOW our defense is fast"!

[GATA93]

Looking forward to tonight I am pumped! Even with all the D1 talent that Springs has I still think we have a quicker Defense I can see us scoring on Defense tonight, I have not see our special teams yet but I can say that if our QB gets settled in tonight it could get bad for the Deer:D

GATOR4EVER;


Dawson gave a great effort I think they could have used some players more like #8, Springs scored on special teams and on defense but Dawson also ran back an interception for a TD. I think once Dawson settles in they will be a threat to take the 24 4A title they have a very good DE big and FAST..

[mossad]

timid but better offensive calling by Beenight so props too him, defense is pretty solid, special teams is solid,Barkman needs more games under his belt but has an amazing arm, play calling got a lil obvious,,lost to a slow deer park team, even with 3 of our best players out we did ok...defensive line beasty, bunton beasty, new wideout nathan #85 beasty.....................................other than that fellas G.A.T.A!!!!!!!!!!!

Our O-Line needs to be more dominate, there is no reason we shouldnt have had 200 rushing yds against that team

[GATA93]

I wanted say contrats to Deer Park for the win but I think our Gators will bounce back and make good in District, DP only had 7 points on offense and 21 of turnovers when we get that under control and we will be hard to beat. Our defense looked solid but spent too much time on the field, we need to stop killing ourselves on drives,we should have won that game. Tyrell looked good I hope he is ok, Bunton is a beast and will cause problems on defenses, overall I was impressed with our team they just need to keep there head up and go to work.. G.A.T.A lets get Texas City:heli:

[Gator4ever]

Congrats Deer Park,


They won on the field by playing tough.\


The Deer Park coach was the AC back in 1985 when Trahan was the coach of CyFair and they made the semi-finals against Odessa Permian and lost 10-7. I suppose they are good friends and that's why they are on our schedule.


Those Deer Park players are really large and they play solid football. If they loosen up the offense they will prosper this year. They do have a very solid defense in the Park.


The Gators will be fine and they do have a serious defense. I'm gonna agree with Trahan in saying this could be the best defense in my memory except for maybe some of the 1980's teams. When we get Sims back things will really look good and we will do fine in district.


This week like last week I have to listen to how good Texas City is..lol.. I've already been told a dozen times how they are gonna whup us.lol. I told number 72 of Texas City who stands 6'5 or 6'7 and weighs in at 240-300 that he gonna eventually wake up cause he's dreaming.lol.

[44444444]

Our O-Line needs to be more dominate, there is no reason we shouldnt have had 200 rushing yds against that team

think what you must, but no one rushes the ball against us very well. We have had quite a few negative rush allowed games in recent past. The same La Porte team that rushed for almost 400 yards against Dickinson last year only got about 140 against Deer Park and 7 points. They avgeraged about 3 yards a carry. 2 of the 3 d-lineman from last year are back, and they are pretty good. Our defense was rated higher than Pearland last year. So, I will have to respectfully disagree with your assesment about being able to run the ball.

Deer Park was slower than Dickinson, but they were way more disciplined. If Dickinson would have limited their mistakes, there is no telling who would have won.

Dickinson is a very good team and will win quite a few ballgames this year. Good luck the rest of the way!

I wish u guys luck as well I think u guys have a solid line it's one of the biggest D lines we have faced in a while and they are good, thinking of all this does make me feel good because we were able to move the ball pretty good on you guys. If we limit our mistakes the sky is the limit with this years Gator Team. G.A.T.A

They avgeraged about 3 yards a carry. 2 of the 3 d-lineman from last year are back, and they are pretty good. Our defense was rated higher than Pearland last year. So, I will have to respectfully disagree with your assesment about being able to run the ball.

Deer Park was slower than Dickinson, but they were way more disciplined. If Dickinson would have limited their mistakes, there is no telling who would have won.

Dickinson is a very good team and will win quite a few ballgames this year. Good luck the rest of the way!


We were able to rush against Deer Park, without our number 2 receiver and our 2nd string tailback. so we didnt have the 1, 2 punch that I expected, but tyrell still had a solid game with 88 yards. Last years La Porte game we were without our top Linebacker, so we expected to give up some huge plays. The deer Park game was a learning game, I was pleased at the defense!! The offense was rusty and i expected the turnovers. 3 defensive touchdowns will doom any team, not taking anything away from Deer Park because I loved there front 7 but dickinson shot all ten toes off friday night lol. When we get all of our players back this friday we should see where we are, I would love to see barkman confidence higher because he has a very good arm:yes:

[GATA93]

another week guys, time to start talking about Texas City game

[mossad]

Dickinson 28 texas city 13

Texas City has a fast running back with Deshaun Rawls, sub 4.4 forty SOPHOMORE, but with Dickinsons run defense so tough it will be hard for him to break it open but be aware he is very dangerous.

I like the play calling, the playbook has more plays thus far. I really want to see jashaud on the opposite side of the field of Dittrich Bunton (#7) that would be deadly. The new recever Nathan Vaughn was a SURPRISE, soft hands and quick burst getting up field, he woud have had close to 100 yards if the ref didnt mark him down at the spot of the catch, he was carrying players all the way down the field. James thomas really showed a burst and the defensive line with Justice Shepard, Paul Hall, E. Lane and Timothy Jenkins looked very good, of course the linbackers looked very good with Byron Wells, Juston Kyles, safeties Dorian edgar and kendal did very well, i would like to see our corners sharpen up and be ready for the pass on 3rd and longs. Offensive line did pretty well and tyrell looked explosive. CHarles Barkman has a very goodarm but just needs a little more confidence toreally take the reigns, colby ginn was solid as usual. Overall i wasnt dissapointed at the game at all with 3 offensive starters out.:D

[mossad]

Oh yeah Coach Beenight, I see you mixing up the play calling!!! I like that, with new play calling and offensive line coach former tennessee volunteer and tennessee titan helping with the scheme this will be a interesting year

[mossad]

I see coach welch has the running backs looking sharp, im proud of the coaching staff for getting the players fired up for the game. Now if we could only bring that gator spirit back, have the players carry al out and get that red back in the uniform with the new model uniforms, white helmet with red and blue stripe we would be good to go!!!! Gator4ever maybe we need to petition to get Big Al back at the football games.

G.A.T.A!!!!!!:notworthy
gfnd......:Censor:

[Gator4ever]

Mossad,


Big Al is so heavy that it took 6-8 guys to carry him during games...lol. Can you see the admin now fearing a lawsuit...lol?


I'm surprised nobody got hurt over all those years but maybe they did in reality.

[Gator4ever]

Mossad,


Every year I hear how great Texas City is and it seems they live in a bubble down there.lol.


Yesterday I tried to explain to some residents the difference between 5A and 4A but they did want want to try and grasp the concept.


For the last two years they have played Alvin in pre-season and barely barely won. One of the wins was on a very last play. Alvin is 5A and therefore they have more students than Texas City at 2900 to 1600. Makes sense they would give em a game right?


For some reason the people in Texas City don't want to hear anything unlike the LaMarque fans who understand a lot more about things.

After we built our new stadium the radio men talked about how it was the "crown jewel" of Galveston County. Ever since then Texas City has spent 5 million dollars on turf and a scoreboard. They hate to be second fiddle mentally in the county......lol.


I hope we beat Texas City by at least 20 so I can have my ears get a rest..lol. The reality of the result will not matter even if we win by 50 because in Texas City they are the best...lol.

Here are the picks for next week.



Texas City @ Dickinson (Pick winner and score.)


Brazoswood @ Angleton (pick winner)

Clear Springs @ Bryan (pick winner)

Man I need a few days to anaylize the Springs vs Bryan game. Bryan always have some BEAST on thier team. Although I must admit Clear Springs looks awfully good so far. I will get back with you around Wed. or Thur. Brazoswood & Angleton will be a good game also. But I ilke the Bucs in this one. Friendswood manhandled Angleton.

[kjube]

Hey fellas,
Is my nephew Juston, playing OLB or MLB?

[GATA93]

I think we beat Texas City easy 28-7 I remember even when we had ok teams we always gave Texas City a hard time, we are used to paying bigger stronger running teams, I think we did great a against La Porte in scrimmage and they are a way better running team than TC

[GATA93]

Springs will beat Bryan and B Wood over Angleton

[GATA_gators]

dickinson 28 texas city 7

Springs

I'm thinking...............Dickinson 34 Texas City 7


Bwood and Bryan

[GATA93]

I'm thinking...............Dickinson 34 Texas City 7


Bwood and Bryan



I Like that Gator4Ever I think they will pay for what happend last week lol

[Gator4ever]

I agree that Springs should beat Bryan but I'm aware of the "homer" officials they have. Springs will probably get ripped off and they are the better team in my opinion.


One time at a game in Bay City I got to the stands wayyyy early and was looking at the houses around the stadium and noticed two officials leaving a house with beers in hand.....lol. We lost the game but I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it..lol.

[GATA93]

Dickinson Gators Deer Park 28, Dickinson 16

• RECAP: Looking at the final stats, it would appear the Gators dominated Deer Park. However turnovers and special teams issues resulted in Dickinson dropping its season opener.

Dickinson gained 332 yards and held Deer Park to 138. Gators quarterback Charles Barkmann even threw for 225 yards, but his two interceptions were costly. One was returned for a 28-yard touchdown.

Deer Park also blocked a field goal and scored on a 68-yard return. It also recovered a fumble in the end zone for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.

• TURNING POINT: The game changed in a matter of 1:06 seconds. Up 6-0, Dickinson had its field goal attempt blocked and returned for the score. Just more than a minute later, Barkmann threw the pick-six. Dickinson trailed the rest of the way.

• STARS: Sophomore receiver Dittrich Bunton had a big night, catching seven passes for 103 yards and a score. Colby Ginn also had 51 yards receiving and a touchdown.

Defensively, Justin Kyles and Dorian Edgar each had six tackles and forced a fumble.

• SIDELINES: Luke Meza and Barkmann were in a quarterback battle all this month. Head coach Warren Trahan said earlier in the week he hadn’t made a final decision, but Barkmann was the winner of the job when the lights turned on Friday.

• UP NEXT: Texas City (1-0) at Dickinson (0-1) on Friday.

Mossad- Did you get injury news since you intial prediction?

No injury but jermaine want be back until next week and Ladarius will be out for 2 or 3 more games, Both Jermain and LaDarius will be out so that does have a small impact.

If we play our game we could beat anyone

24-20...lol I need to have a sit down with you my friend.....lol.


If Texas City loses to Dickinson by less than 8 points then I will use the following statement after every post for the entire year..... "Texas City is the best team ever".


I cannot explain exactly why we will dump all over them but it has a lot to do with 4A mentality here on the gulf coast. They assume that 4A is equal or better than 5A but those days are over for TC and LM.


Texas City is the best team ever.

[kjube]

Aight fellas here we go for the outright lead in points:

Gators 24 Stings 17

Spring
Angleton

Okay change of heart my gut is say Bryan is going to pull off an upset but Spring is loaded and did not play its best game last week. They are probably going to make a statement with this game, so Springs it is. However; on the other hand I think Angleton bounces back and knocks off B'Wood, fingers crossed LOL..

[Gator4ever]

Kjube,


You also have been drinking the TC Koolaide and I'm surprised with you my friend..lol. Texas City has one running back and three linemen with a solid but not great 4A team and you think they are gonna stroll in with 17 points against our defense..lol


Texas City will finish 4th in district and maybeeeeee third. If they miss the 4A playoffs I would not be surprised as I was not surprised last year. They win at home by a HUGE margin every year and they drop games all the time away from home. It's gonna be ugly on Friday night.

I'll take:

The Galveston News has Texas City picked to win..lol. They have more subscriptions in Texas City as well as Friendswood and they know how to keep them..lol.


Last week the Galveston News wrote an article or maybe it was a few days ago and stated that Dickinson was the "ONLY" team to lose in Galveston County on week zero. They failed to list Clear Brook losing as well as Clear Falls and the whole story was based on how amazing Galveston County was with the exception of the Gators.


Okay so we are gonna lose according to the genius sports staff of the Galveston News.



Texas City is the best team ever

[mossad]

My information based on this season was soley on dittrich bunton on one side and jashaud sims on the other side, jermain and colby ginn going across the middle and tyrell slashing the defense with his speed. Its hard to predict now, i do thing dickinson 24 texas city 17 and bryan over spring. Galveston County is never too big on Dickinson. We have not proven ourselves yet. Thats how i feel, i still have mixed feelings about the season now

[Gator4ever]

Mossad,


Don't get me wrong...I respect your opinions and am just joking around with my statements about your predictions and stuff.

I'm very impressed with the potential that Dickinson has but like you I'm reserved about what could go wrong with things.


I don't expect five turnovers this week and I don't expect Texas City to be as large and as discilined as Deer Park. In the end I think Texas City will make a good effort but fall very short due to size and speed and also talent.


In 4A football it seems that teams can get by with one good running back and 3-5 good linemen. In 5A that does not work as seen last week with Deer Park. They were not as fast as us but they had extreme size and dicipline. They had 72 players suited out to our 43.


Texas City is very much at home playing 4A teams with the exception of Alvin. They will see the difference tonight.

[kjube]

Kjube,

Ouch that hurt man but thats why I am going to take your gift card again LOL...but seriously though its not the defense that will give up the points I predict. Defense will give up maybe 10 and that is a stretch, but turnovers. Back in my day Texas city was never threat to Dickinson, hell we even beat them at Creek. By the way what flavor of Koolaid, I actually like red LOL...

[Gator4ever]

Kjube,


Now I'm feeling guilty for sending a message that was not intended except as joke or trash talk.lol.


The coach of Texas City is not the same coach who had such great teams and I believe that coach is the AD up in Katy right?


Tonight is the "statement night" for the Gators and I'm pretty sure the TC team will be outgunned with our package of football. We need to stomp on them and get the attention of these other 4A teams around here who think that these are the good ole days when Dickinson lost to Santa Fe,Texas City,and many other teams as we had an 0-8 season as well as some other losing seasons that were only helped by a weak pre-district scedule.

Time to burn Texas City's ***!!!!!

[mossad]

g.f.n.d

[jatj]

Defense looked pretty solid all night. The coaches did not seem to learn any lessons from last years loss to creek. 47 seconds left, 1st and goal, running the ball well, PUNCH IT IN!!!!
If we can eliminate the turnovers, we will be good.

G.A.T.A.

[Truth]

Gator Fight Died Tonight. Fans were so disappointed even heard chants from fan to replace the coaching staff yeap in the season ticket holders seats. Our sidelines are so dead that we might as well give them popcorn as if they are watching a bad movie. We have a running back with almost 200 yards and what do you know Clear Creeks own special teams coach (bENIGHT)decideS to pass the ball on the 3 yard line AFTER WE RAN THE BALL 40YARDS TO GET THERE. QB has 5 interceptions in 2 games wow time to change the dead spread or the chuck and duck. Opposing teams defenses have scored more point than our offense.We have played to of the worst teams and offense could not compete. Clear Springs will blow out Dickinson. Dickinson does not even have a chance to even compete with them. Texas city could not even move the ball and won the game. 0-2 GFND. What will be the excuse now. Please throw your offensive playbook in the bbq pit for labor day.

[GATA_gators]

we need to keep the ball on the ground, save the throws for the homerun, not the 5 yd line

[Gator4ever]

I've never been so frustrated and hurt by the whole situation before us. Never in my life have I seen such a sad situation as the one we have at Dickinson. Maybe the coach who had two consecutive 0-10 seasons can compete with this situation but at least this coaching staff has talented players,great facilities and home support.


I get to eat lot of crow now because we cannot learn anything from last year or even last week. When will the people of Dickinson realize that the Gators are now doomed to be a flat-line team because we have flat-line coaching?


I'm gonna keep my word on this thing but believe me GFND is dead and if the OC and the head coach have any common sense they will retire by seasons end and give the team over to somebody else.


Texas City is the best team ever.

[kjube]

It is obvious Barkman is having a problem adjusting to this next level. He is inexperienced and it is showing. Trahan & OC needs to see this. They need to tailor the offense around Preston & the ground game. The Gators have way too much talent to be 0 and 2. Cudos to the defense.

[mossad]

our defense doesnt attack, as fast as we are we just sit back and flow from side to side, our corners play under thus thats why their receivers are able to find the ball while our corners are looking around. tc's last drive the qb was able to get a long gain because we sat back, send kyles and wells thru those gaps and those runs turn into losses and we have sacks, SEND PRESSURE UP THE MIDDLE IF OUR CORNERS ARE MANED UP. yall say good defense but i didnt see it, tc HAD NOTHING on offense! and they were able to move the ball, i have seen spring and creek play, our defense would be in biiig trouble, we cannnot cover the pass because of the defensive scheme, deer park and tc receivers are no where near as fast as creek brook and pearland, we have to attack, you are right the offense as of now shoud be tailored around preston, long passes to bunton not just slants, colby ginn outside and inside and nathan vaughn(85) until jermaine and ladarius gets back. we have no excuse. Dickinson has no pride, GFND wont cut it, its a cop out bring GATA back!! We were good on the goal line because tc had no choice but to run and the corners stayed on top of the receivers, against other teams,,,its td

[rod]

Do yall think maybe the coaches are saving thier real offense for district play? Brazoswood been running the same 4 plays and are real predictable. We didnt throw the ball until the fourth quater last night . so dont get discourage. Every knows these are like preseason games no gonna show their whole offense and defensive schemes early .

[GATA93]

no I don't think we are holding back, we are what we are right now and have no excuses I think once we have everybody back it will change things a little but we NEED to fix the turnover problem. I think we gave them like 18 points off turnovers last night, take that away and it's not even a game, Maybe we need to play both QB to see what works better. I am not knocking Barkman I just think he needs more work, Barkman has a great arm and think he can turn into a great QB with time..

[caltex2]

The Galveston News has Texas City picked to win..lol. They have more subscriptions in Texas City as well as Friendswood and they know how to keep them..lol.


Last week the Galveston News wrote an article or maybe it was a few days ago and stated that Dickinson was the "ONLY" team to lose in Galveston County on week zero. They failed to list Clear Brook losing as well as Clear Falls and the whole story was based on how amazing Galveston County was with the exception of the Gators.


Okay so we are gonna lose according to the genius sports staff of the Galveston News.



Texas City is the best team ever

Clear Brook is in the Harris County portion of Friendswood (notice how the Daily never gives them any coverage) and Falls doesn't count because they obviously aren't fielding a varsity team yet, which is relevant if you're ranking teams as the Daily is. Hitchcock is similarly not ranked because they would not reasonably be expected to compete with everyone else.

Also, was Barkmann point shaving or what? Or maybe the coach was. That was "genious" playcalling down there and I know people who barely know anything about football who know not to pass in that scenerio. To be fair to the QB though, the second INT wasn't his fault because the reciever let it go through his hands and into the TC players' hands.

[Truth]

“I read run on that play at first,” Apffel said. “Once I realized it was a pass, I thought, ‘Oh no, this guy just beat me.’ I dropped back two steps, and he just threw it right to me.”

Dickinson (0-2) had been running the ball successfully all night with the legs of junior Tyrell Preston. Preston had 172 yards rushing and two touchdowns in the game.

Everyone from Texas City (2-0) was expecting Preston to get the ball on the final play and was surprised Dickinson elected to pass.

Dickinson head coach Warren Trahan said he believed it was the right decision to pass.

“In hindsight, maybe we do run it, but with no timeouts, I still think we should have passed there,” Trahan said. “(Barkmann) threw a pick there, but I can’t fault him for it. Hell, he got us down to the 9-yard line.”
:mad: THIS IS WHY COACH TRAHAN AND HIS OC NEEDS TO BE BACK ON A BUS TO BAYCITY. YOU GUYS DID NOT LEARN FROM THE CREEK GAME LAST YEAR. WE HAVE A TALENTED SQUAD, COMMUNITY SUPPORT, BEAUTIFUL FACILITIES AND YOU SEND FANS HOME CRYING EVERY WEEK BECAUSE OF BAD COACHING. TRAHAN WAS NOT EVEN ON THE FIELD DURING THE FIRST HALF. I SAW LITTLE GATORS FOOTBALL TEAM PLAYERS CRYING LAST NIGHT. :mad:

[Gator4ever]

The new AD has the power to suggest,investigate,and resolve problems associated with "his" athletic department. Through the members of the school board all problems can be resolved without exception and with great detail involved.


At this point the AD can make changes as long as the board in notified and hopefully Trahan will be retired in the fashion of respect he deserves.

[Gator4ever]

Caltex,


Yea your right but indeed Falls is in Galveston County and they should have been mentioned in any way possible.


Trahan has another quarteback to put in but he refused to do so?

[ClearSpringsFan]

Caltex,
Yea your right but indeed Falls is in Galveston County and they should have been mentioned in any way possible.


Falls is playing JV football. Give them a break until they field their varsity squad, then it's game-on!

I have not written Dickinson off, yet. The Gators are just not playing up to the level of their talent. It's only week two of pre-district play.

[GATA93]

I am expecting Velveeta to come in at any moment to defend the coaching, he did that last year after the same thing happend in the Creek game

[Gator4ever]

ClearSpringsFan,


Your team will be fine but our team has to endure tragic episodes on a yearly basis due to the coaching staff. 18 coaches and facilities that rival most and still we are put into these scenarios every year.


If we played Pearland,Springs, BWood,Creek,Lake and possibly any other team in our district next week then we would probably lose and lose BIG!!!


Here are my predictions for the coming games....lol.


Dobie 27 Dickinson 21


Creek 28 Dickinson 20


Unless the OC is dropped and the head coach is retired these things will happen every year and it does not matter if we have a rusher get 200 yards per game every game because the OC is just out to look good and not win games.

[GATA93]

Dobie will be bigger than Texas City just not sure if they are better, this is the first time I have ever seen a high school team have more rushing and passing than there opponent and still lose. We should be 2-0 right now I am still in shock, I still think we have a better team than last year we just need to fix turnover problem FAST...

[GATA_gators]

Putting in the other QB just isnt an option, barkman needs to settle down and we need to RUN THE FOOTBALL

[Gator4ever]

Dobie seems to be improved from last year. They have the ability to win the game and being at home will help them. They will make the playoffs this year because it's only them and Deer Park to contend.

[Gator-No Bull Please]

Just a bit of defensive data -- they have given up an average of 219 yards and allowed only 15 points. The offense has added 38 additional points from 3 interceptions (21 points), blocked punt (7 points), fumble recovery (7 points) and a field goal (3 points).

Next week will be better.:cool:

[GATA93]

With Jermain Jenkins coming back that should give our running game more options, I agree we need to start running more. I would still like to see Meza come in to see what he can do or for that matter even use them both in different schemes, what ever it is we decide to do we need to fix the issue before Creek game...

[mossad]

Jermaine Jenkins and Jashaud Sims will be back this week

[GATA93]

Jermaine Jenkins and Jashaud Sims will be back this week


Thats great news man our defense and offense both just got better :yes:

[GATA93]

Mossad;


Do you think the coaches will just start running the ball more this week? Texas City could not stop our running game..

[mossad]

hopefully everything falls into place, barkman needs to be given more high percentage passes until his confidence gets built up. other than that we should be ok, but we shall see smh

[GATA93]

hopefully everything falls into place, barkman needs to be given more high percentage passes until his confidence gets built up. other than that we should be ok, but we shall see smh


Thats right, I was talking about that with a friend this morning and yes they need to give him some easy passes but start with the running game, I think he has to much pressure on right now and they are having him throw way too much and those outside passes are getting him in trouble. I think once he gets into his zone he will be fine...:heli:

[Gator4ever]

They would have probably learned that from week one against Deer Park but they didn't so that means they could possibly have learned it last week and again probably not..

[Gator4ever]

Week 2


Dickinson @ Dobie (pick the score)


Clear Creek @ Deer Park


Clear Brook@ FB Elkins

[Gator4ever]

My picks are.....



Dickinson 27 Dobie 13


Deer Park


Clear Brook

[mossad]

They would have probably learned that from week one against Deer Park but they didn't so that means they could possibly have learned it last week and again probably not..


this is what i believe, they got close to the endzone and decided hey, if barkman throws a td right here it will make his confidence jump dramatically by winning the game, i think his confidence was up when he ran 22 yards late in that last minute drive, then the pass to colby ginn, was a nice high percentage pass, i though they would either fake it to tyrell then let barkman head up the middle or give it to tyrell and let him run it in. If it was a gamble to get barkmans confidence up then cool, but throwing it in he middle was not the greatest idea, hopefully Jashaud will play both ways freeing up Dittrich and create some running lanes, but i have a feeling sims will only be on defense and that would be a shame

I have trouble putting my finger on this stuff but it is something associated with a pattern that leaves a trail...


1997- Texas City and Bay City play for the regional title and the game goes into overtime. Bay City has a running back with over 200 yards during the game. In overtime Bay City throws four passes and lose. Texas City wins state)


Dickinson defeats Westbrook after going for two via the air and Trahan is a genius. If that had failed I'm just wondering what would be happening today?


2009- The Creek fiasco

2010- The Texas City thing. (That was the right call according to Trahan. How in god's earth was that the right call?


More data of these type events are available but only prove what Dr, Phil always says...."The best indication of what you'll do in the future in simply based on what you've done in the past. Habits are hard to break in this coaching thing.

[Gator4ever]

I'm pretty versed at remote viewing and have done very well in the last five years so swallow this prediction if you will.lol.



Dickinson wins district this year.


Two teams suffer injuries that devestate them. I wanna be wrong on this and hopefully writing this will effect that.


Three wins in the final four games and one against the big dog.

28-14 dickinson

elkins
creek

i feel a win this week


I feel a win also LOL. Man I never thought I would see my alma mata playing good football (Creek) but I have to admit they looking good. I cannot see them losing to Deer Park. For whatever it may mean now 25 yrs later, if they had kept me at QB we would have had the same type team and won more games LOL...

Here are my picks, with the Gator score coming Thursday:

Gators

Creek
Elkins

Hey guys & gals,

Here is some early recruiting news:

Juston Kyles somewhere in Arkansas? You heard it first from uncle...

Hey guys & gals,

Here is some early recruiting news:

Juston Kyles somewhere in Arkansas? You heard it first from uncle...

Yes central arkansas but he is so smart i believe 1450 on SAT i would choose education over football, he already knows what he wants to major in he is a very bright kid.

Ok gator4ever and gata93 im believing in a late run, sims and jenkins are back, the offense should start poppin , i think barkman might be having a mental breakdown, i still trust him! Im still having faith, however we have NO TRADITION, we are bland and thats a HUGE problem

[mossad]

When i played we were lucky to be able to come from under the stands at the old sam vatanza, the crowd would see us and it would get a lil rowdy, the older football players who i seen play were waiting at the gate as we walked to the field pounding on our shoulder pads just like we did to them, we walked thru the crowd and it seemed to super charge us. We would see big Al and our band even though it played some nice 80's music, they would play a song called "bout it bout it" which the coach allowed because he knew it would get us ready. Now the kids walk out too (even though i loved the song) to a country song, which i liked, but to a lot of our kids it does not relate to them, has anyone seen la marques intro? The cockiest intro i have ever seen, and when you come in with tradition, added with some fan interaction and music, a whole new AURA is there. Now the team seems so distant, ITS NOT DICKINSONS TEAM ANYMORE, it belongs to them, THEY HAVE TO CHANGE THAT

[Raving Fan]

The intro was a good idea to pump the team and fans up, but COUNTRY?? I have nothing against country music, but the kids don't listen to that... :eek:
I had the discussion with my GATOR about the band and it's pitiful pep music in the stands and we came up with ideas for music to pump them up!! They play harder when they are on their toes and pumped up. Our band is too consumed with UIL competition to actually play to the crowd and pump up the team. I was a" little" impressed with the attempt to keep up noise in the endzone when TC had possession. :heli:

Yes the intro was ok but that won't pump up our Gators if they wanted to do an intro maybe they could have done the Florida Gator intro with all the Gators getting ready to feast lol or maybe come out to "it's going down", for a sec I thought I was at a Houston Texans game.. I say we let them pick or vote on the intro song... We used to jam out to Eazy does it back in the day or some NWA!

[mossad]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znC27byC9fI

I was thinking of an entrance video sort of like this but with gator clips playing, right in front of the fieldhouse smoke spewing out, some of the fans right by the entrance, the players walk thru the smoke and wait while the clips are being played, maybe a few gator chomps to the opposing side because trust me they looove it ;) then the video ends we play our goooo gators as they strut on the field, this will get the fire going, they have to feel the fans, La Marque feeds off their fans, and I began noticing clear spring does it too, DICKINSON NEEDS TO WAKE UP!!!!

What about not worrying what they look or sound like during the intro and play 4 quarters of football. That would be a good start. GATA

I still have faith in Barkman, right now he is probably shook, i think if they would have implimented him at tight end last year he would have a better feel for the game.

RAVING FAN hows ole Garisson doing, i predicted him as a better back than Carrier and Whittaker

[mossad]

I want to proclaim that DITTRICH BUNTON is the best receiver in the COUNTY, maybe houston area

[Truth]

I must admit I still believe in Barkman. This kid did not even touch the ball last year. Now we want him to perform like a starter knowing he sat the bench all last year. Where are the plays Brody had whhen he QB. Listen Closely. We have a better team now than then but brody had easy passes and trick plays but barkman has to sit back and throw difficult passes. nikel and dime them with 85 and ginn. stop doing the same running play up the middle on first down. No excuse to hold back you eitheir win or loose and right now we are 0-2 lol. Please lets look at Boise game again VT. now that offense of scheme is great. we need to pay attention to their offense. Their is no pride anymore when the kids put on the jersey with the community name across their chest. Don henderson the freshman running back is going to be one of the best running backs to come through dickinson. Go check him out if you can. Our varsity team instead of supporting him talks him down. We would be excited to have a guy of his calibor coming up. We have no more team pride and none of these coaches except one has played in dickinson. I love my team but I hate who we are now

[mossad]

We should win this game, im scared of the play action pass, our corners are good but with no pressure on the qb from up the middle they are blind down the field,thus the 2 HUGEcatches late in the game

Barkman did play last year, but they were all running plays, maybe put him at tight end, Brodys first year he was injured after the 3rd game i believe, but they gave him the reigns as soon as he got back, he too made some huge mistakes, lets see who will start this game. The Don Henderson kid is VERY VERY VERY GOOD, he has the potential to be one of the best running backs to come thru this school. Boise State coaches are genius. Creek has the best play calling in the district, why? They have one player who is truely dangerous, they use him as he should be, putting him at running back receiver and even qb he always touches the ball, we have dangerous players everywhere but we cant seem to get the ball too them, we will see how this season goes, i still have faith, i understand what you mean by running up the middle on first down, its a good choice to run! But switch it up, maybe pitch it outside like student body left or right and let Tyrell who specializes in cutting back find a lane and get up field. The run choice on first is always a good choice, get positive yards first then pass. We need Dittrich at wide out with jashaud on the other side, paired with tyrell and jermaine and nathan vaughn there is no better offense! You cant double and cover two would leave tooo many lanes, Beenight has been up on his home work thus far, lets see if he pays attention to the roster and make his depth chart impossible to cover all corners!

Trust be buddy we do worry about that every game, had we played 4 Q of football last year we would have gone undefeated and WON district

raving fan,

trust be buddy we do worry about that every game, had we played 4 q of football last year we would have gone undefeated and won district

playing 4q's without some type of tradition or hype is like having ferrari motor in a family sedan, it might be fast, but it has no aerodynamics to make it run smoothly and more efficient lol, i understand where raving fan is coming from though, he just has to read the old posts to see whats going on here. Or see our sideline looking like a funeral :-( the crowd is 3miles away from the players, its like they are in a scrimmage

Take a look in days chronicle and look who is leading in rushing in 5A....

and also one of the leaders in passing!

Did not mean to come down on your team, but based on the past post on here and what has happened in the first 2 games, under achievement can best describe what is happening. Coaches not putting players into position to be successful or players not executing?

garrison of course, i knew what time it was when they put him in during the last couple of minutes in the katy taylor game 2 years ago, he was only a sophomore but he was lightning quick coming out of his cuts. Our situation is a mess right now but we are having faith we get things cleared up. A community that needs to tighten up thats all

[mossad]

I know colby ginns the safe route on punt return but please put back tyrell or jermaine or the return specialist from jv last year kendall washington!!! Its a risk we are willing to take to get some points

[Gator4ever]

Raving Fan,


It's all good and you made valid statements. You are correct in what you said and it would be nice to see things go better for us.


Mossad and others are right about ownership and attitude amongst our team and community in that we don't have ownership as fans and the team is not as we would like it to feel and be.

The problem seems to be all the new facilities and the new golf carts and the new this and that. It's great to have new things but identity is lost to some degree and finding our identity is hard to do "now". The problem will continue as long as the leadership remains the way it is. Old coaches don't learn new tricks in this case and leading a lot of talented players seems to be a problem for this staff.


When the community takes back our team it will open up a new reality for both the players and the great fans we have. Until then we are very similar to a one act play that other coaches and teams memorize and respond to on the field. The only thing we have going for us is talent in my opinion and that alone won't get it done right?

[GATA93]

I heard u mention a few things on Washington on a few post, would love to see what he could do on returns. I did not get a chance to watch JV last year, did he return a few for TD's? I think we need a spark right now and special teams would be a good place to start! I don think we put enough time on Special Teams but we need too!

From Kendals mouth he returned 4 PUNTS for TD's on jv and 3 can be viewed on youtube with kendal washington dickinson gators. we need a huge spark on special teams, tyrell proved to be a huge spark!

[GATA93]

Sometimes I feel we keep out best athletes hidden, the old Buck fan said it best, when he talked about keeping our best on the side line remember that receiver from a couple years ago that was a beast in the playoff? Where was he the whole sason?

Mossad Iam a new member and a very longtime Gator fan and love to read what is happenning with the gators. I was thrilled to see the coaching staff make a move on the punt return side of the field. We have needed this for a long time #82 seems to have the surest hands on the field as a punt returner and also as a receiver so I think a change was necessary. Remember our past couple of years where we lost games due to dropping punts we don't need to head back in that direction we are having enough problems at this point. Barkman will be ok once he settles down if not I know Bunton's / Meza can take over and make things happen. I'm going to say this only one time and no more, we cannot only run the ball in the 5A district we must have enough confidence to pass the ball. These 5A teams will eat you alive if you only have a running game. GoodLuck this Saturday gators. Won't be able to make it but will read about it when I return. GATA Gators.

I hear you about being safe, we have bad luck with punts lol, and colby is the safe route, but that has been our problem, we have played it safe for so long i was just saying give it a shot, put some sure hands and quick feet out there, they put mr. sims there his sophomore year and he did not have nerve to be there being a sophomore, but kendal washington and jermaine have nerve. Dont get me wrong i like colby, just want to see some fire for a chance. Thanks for joining us and i love the NAME!! GATA!!

GATATIME remember last year we survived with the run with very little passing, the only thing we needed was a down the field threat, now that we finally have now. Now we have to balance it out. Maybe a for sure play, tyrell is dangerous running outside, be nice if we could gettem outside for this game with some counters!! Hey im happy we have a running formation but we need a bread and butter play kinda like la portes counter:notworthy

With Jenkins and Ladarious coming back this week that will give is more options to work with, Creek has ONE athlete and they find ways to get him open... We have a lot more weapons than Creek.Colby,Ladarious, Bunton,Washington,Jenkins,Simms, Tytrell and many other playmaker we have on our team GATA!

[GATA93]

In talking to Andre Ware a couple weeks ago he liked what he saw on the field and was sure we were going to have a great year..

[mossad]

we have talent, why not put jashaud on one side, dittrich on the other, jermain on one side, nathan vaughn on the other. colby ginn, then you have tyrell, move up "The Don" run read, the defense we play WOULD HAVE TO RESPECT that, because there are mismatches everyone and thus making it easier for Barkman to throw right? Have you guys seen the freshman running back? Ridiculous...........

I believe in our boys in blue.
They are getting the kinks worked out and their demeanors are fabulous. This week is a NEW week and they will succeed. :yes:

I am excited to see Bunton playing at a new position and he is very excited to be doing so.

I worry about Jermaine; he took a really hard hit. I am concerned about rebound symptoms but I pray that won't occur.

I am also SUPER concerned for 'Shaud in regards to him being 100% healthy. This is only PREdistrict and means absolutely NOTHING. I want him strong and healthy for district ball.

Barkmann will be okay. He just needs to be built up; not stoned. I sure wish others would realize that. :/

Last year the gators rushed for a little over 2400 yards and passed for a little over 1500. Over 900 of the rushing came from Honeycutt.

[Gator4ever]

LOL..... What are we worried about at being 0-2 with such a talented team?...lol.


This district race is gonna be sooooo.....bloody that it's gonna make my head spin. I'm saying there is gonna be a busted lip game every week and twice at that.


I'm thinking it's gonna be different from last year as most teams played with mental plans like Bwood and Springs. With the Oilers showing up I'm thinking they bring some of that lip busting to some of the Clear teams. (No offense to the CCISD). It's gonna be physical and different from the last two years.


LOL...Perfect for our defense right!!!!!

You can't just play a song and talk trash to have a swagger about you. You have to do it on the field by being physical and whoopin some %##.
Winning is important to getting that swagger. The non-district games are important for that reason. You can learn how to win. By the way, the cheerleaders did do a G.A.T.A. cheer last friday. They just don't know what it means(lol). I still think we can be good this year. I wish Corey Thomas would have gotten 30 carries a game. He rushed for over 1200 yards and I think the most carries he had was 18 in a game. We are way too laid back in the stands. One of the worst things about it is when the announcer says "that's another gator 1st down". First downs shoud not be that big a deal. Let's get some TD's. Oh well.

this is true! But the only thing is that we are able to win, with a defense like ours it should be scoring also, there is no swag there, there is good ball being played, swag says we arent gonna make a big hit THIS PLAY, but we are going to strip it take it to the house. We have proven over the last two years we can win, but when we face a true for, we fold up like a cheap suit. Swag doesnt let that happen, i remember when la marque lost a huuuuge senior class, and they had sophomores and freshmans come up and played with such tradition and swag, they went two games from state, thats what we want to instill in our players, they think playoffs, GATA says state, swag says we are gonna get there in fashion and precision! GATA!!!

[mossad]

Our swag began with tradition, I heard we have old tapes of the 77 gators, the players need to see that team. They need to know we have a heisman trophy winner and they need to know the odds of that happening in the town they live in, thats why we are special, they need to know we have a herman award winner (the heisman tropjy winner for soccer), they needto know we had a big 12 defensive player of the year playing womens soccer at kansas state. That we had a womens basketball team that went to state twice. That we win here, then JATJ thats when we roll the highlights, play our music, do our gator chump, the players now feel obligated to win, they want to win, pair that up with some heavy fan interaction before they hit the field, some music then you have a refreshed football team, you have some little gators who want to imitate that, then you have freshman who are looking forward to the dog days of off season to earn their spot on a winning team...swag is not music, its not playing the latest songs and dancing, its tradition that makes us play hard, itstradition that makes you want to dance, its tradition knowing where your program has came from, knowing the older players, that makes tradition bust open and bleed swagger, thanks JATJ you have inspired me because people do need to know that...bunton will be at receiver, would be nice if they moved him a round a little

[jatj]

Mossad,
You're right. Hey, the defense is playing GOOD ball. The Gators always have my support. Lamarque walks on the field and expects to win! That's why I think non-district is important. Without turnovers we spank Deer Park and Texas City, but thats part of the game. We will get it together. I know I said earlier it looks like the coaches have not learned from the past. But in order to make I work, the kids have to believe in their coaching staff. So from this point I will give the coaches the benefit of the doubt.

G.A.T.A.

[GATA93]

Our swag began with tradition, I heard we have old tapes of the 77 gators, the players need to see that team. They need to know we have a heisman trophy winner and they need to know the odds of that happening in the town they live in, thats why we are special, they need to know we have a herman award winner (the heisman tropjy winner for soccer), they needto know we had a big 12 defensive player of the year playing womens soccer at kansas state. That we had a womens basketball team that went to state twice. That we win here, then JATJ thats when we roll the highlights, play our music, do our gator chump, the players now feel obligated to win, they want to win, pair that up with some heavy fan interaction before they hit the field, some music then you have a refreshed football team, you have some little gators who want to imitate that, then you have freshman who are looking forward to the dog days of off season to earn their spot on a winning team...swag is not music, its not playing the latest songs and dancing, its tradition that makes us play hard, itstradition that makes you want to dance, its tradition knowing where your program has came from, knowing the older players, that makes tradition bust open and bleed swagger, thanks JATJ you have inspired me because people do need to know that...bunton will be at receiver, would be nice if they moved him a round a little

Mossad;


Bunton can play WR, QB, RB, THAT MAN IS AN ATHLETE!!! he is OUR CJ MC ELROY we need to find ways to get him the ball at all times!! Tyrell is a work horse he looked VERY good last week and proved he can carry the load G.A.T.A Gators lets get this thing going! Defense lets smash some heads out there and show them how we do it in Dickinson! :heli:

Hey I still believe in Barkman the kid will be ok. Gator girl preseason determine how you will play the rest of the season. Think about it we have not played any top notch teams yet and we are really struggling. I know we will come together but in this district GFND is not going to cut it. GATA will dod the job. We still have to face clear springs, Lake, Pearland, creek. All these team would have ran over our competition so fart if the truth be told. If your going to pick an easy preseason make sure you make it look easy. Hey make sure you guy watch clear spring play cinco ranch this week. also miami vs ohio st, penn st vs Alabama lawd have mercy football heaven this weekend only to have a monday night jets vs Baltimore. :yes::heli::rofl:Im loosing it over here lol

[Gator4ever]

GATA



It's what made us fight week in and week out and in many cases it still does to this day....




GFND


Generic and easy to look at when you lose a game or two.


GATA vs. GFND


When you lose a game with GATA it's okay cause you "get all over their arse". When you lose with GFND you are confused at what the actual meaning is.


I don't want to advertise GFND because it's obvious to Gator ballplayers and fans that we have spirit regardless but with GATA we come to bust a lip and show aggression. GFND is just too "GAY" for me.

Dickinson At Dobie

• KICKOFF: 6 p.m. at Newcomb Stadium

• TWITTER: @johnniewalters

• Last year’s result: Dickinson 27, Dobie 17

• TALE OF THE TAPE: It’s no secret that turnovers have been the cause for the Gators’ poor start to the season. You can see the potential this squad has though, especially in the running game and on defense. One of these games, Dickinson is going to put everything together. The Gators hope that starts this week.

• STAT LINE: The Gators defense is allowing just 183.5 yards a game, yet the team is winless. Dickinson’s seven turnovers are a big reason.

• BUCKLEY’S PREDICTION: Dickinson is better than it’s 0-2 record shows, its just really struggling with turnovers. This game is a good chance to correct those problems before district starts. Dickinson 28, Dobie 13

• MOHL’S PREDICTION: Dickinson should correct those turnover problems, especially if it continues to feed the ball to Tyrell Preston. The Gators also have the talent advantage in this one. Dickinson 24, Dobie 17



Lets do this Gators! If we can cut the turnovers this game will be a blowout!

[ClearSpringsFan]

This is the week for Dickinson to turn it around! You all are better than 0-2, and it's time to prove it.

[another_screen_name]

It looks like 24-5a will be on TV Sat night. ABC 13.2 will show Dickinson vs Dobie at 6pm. Lets go Gators!!! I really should get a portable digital tv:(

There are some pretty good highlights of Ladarious too did u guys see them?

[mossad]

Gator4ever Kendal is #22 on the gators, he already has an interception, hes a gamebreaker at punt and kick return. Yes Ladarius is quick! Clearspringsfan good luck tomorrow, showem how we do it south of houston!

[GATA93]

Went to the La Porte game tonight, they won 26-13 scored are there points in first half then came out flat in second and only had like 3 first downs... Klein Forrest had 5 turnovers one fumble run back for a touchdown

[GATA93]

How did them freshman and JV gators do this week...

[Wildcatter]

Got home from the Creek game about an hour. A BLOWOUT. It was Creek 40 - DP 0 when I left. Dont know the final score.

[Gator4ever]

Those Wildcats are for real and the district is very hot. 24-5A is gonna be hard for anyone to win and with a six team fight it's gonna be hard to make the playoffs.

[mossad]

ok obviously deer park doesnt have an offense, judging by texas citys game which they won, they dont have a good offense, whats scary is when we play a good offense how will we perform? I have faith in our defense but these crappy pre season games does not give us things to work on.

[85Roughneck]

well fellas, please tell me the Gators are not gonna start the season 0-3. :(

[rsmantx]

Got home from the Creek game about an hour. A BLOWOUT. It was Creek 40 - DP 0 when I left. Dont know the final score.


Final Score of the Creek-DP game was 40-7. DP scored late after getting a short field to work with. Also was helped with a third down pass to the end zone that was a questionable pass interference call. Over all Creek played well. Defense has really stepped up this year.
Good luck tonight to Dickinson Gators. Hope you come away with a win.
Looking forward to seeing yall in a couple of weeks.

wanted to congrat Creek u guys are really doing good, I don't remember that last time Creek was this good.... Gators we really need to step it we are in a very tuff district

[Gator4ever]

Rough,


Don't know what's gonna happen tonight but we hope something good happens. This will be a sad event if we go 0-3.


24-5A is a tough district now so if we don't win it's gonna be ugly for us indeed.

[Gator4ever]

I guess you know the game is on television tonight and it's on Comcast 685.

[kjube]

Well,
Just finished watching the game and I have to tell you I see why the Gators are 1 and 3. Turnovers are going to be the end of any playoff hopes for them. Also the secondary gave up way to many easy completions. Clear Creek and Clear Springs are going to have a field day with the Gators secondary if they do not get more aggressive. Missed tackles was big also, including my nephew and I am going to give him a ear full when I talk to him. Bunton saved the game for the Gators. That shoe string tackle he made on 4th & 10 at the end of the game was big. If he had not had made that tackle Dobie's RB was on his way to the endzone. Predictable offense: 1st down run, 2nd down run & 3rd down pass, how predictable is that. Even the announcers on ABC were saying the same thing. The offense was very affective when both Preston and the other RB (cannot remember his name) were in the backfield at the same time. I could go on and on but I will leave it at that. One last thing I was pretty close again with the score..

[mossad]

First i want to say im very happy we won!! way to go gators in not giving up.....KJUBE they confirmed what i was already figuring out, our defense is a catchers mitt, we sit back and try to use our linebackers to flow, we cant do that, we have to attack, that man up has to stop if you are not bringing pressure up the middle to flush the qb out to one side of the field and force him to make a bad pass, cornerbacks are non existent. Our safetites dont come up with bad intentions we are playing SOFT FOOTBALL, the line was not sticking with blocks, Jashaud should not be playing he is hurt. Our defense looks timid, im going to say it, I believe it, we will win 1 game in district if we play like we have been playing. DObie brought it to us, they GAVE US THE GAME. :( 4 helmets got knocked off from our team. Even the tv announcer was saying the play calling is the same. 99 Justice SHepard was coming up with bad intentions i love the way he plays, Jermaine should get more carries. COme on coaches get these boys motivated.

mossad;

Happy we won we needed that! just want to say I was happy to see Barkman with more confidence I love the way he carried 3 defenders on his back in the 3 Q on a fake handoff! I also want to say that our defense only played in spurts we came up with the big plays in the end but overall we were getting burned on our secondary, we need to play more phisical up front all game long. when we play Creek we need to bring it or we will start of with a loss in our distriact.

[mossad]

Mossad Iam a new member and a very longtime Gator fan and love to read what is happenning with the gators. I was thrilled to see the coaching staff make a move on the punt return side of the field. We have needed this for a long time #82 seems to have the surest hands on the field as a punt returner and also as a receiver so I think a change was necessary. Remember our past couple of years where we lost games due to dropping punts we don't need to head back in that direction we are having enough problems at this point. Barkman will be ok once he settles down if not I know Bunton's / Meza can take over and make things happen. I'm going to say this only one time and no more, we cannot only run the ball in the 5A district we must have enough confidence to pass the ball. These 5A teams will eat you alive if you only have a running game. GoodLuck this Saturday gators. Won't be able to make it but will read about it when I return. GATA Gators.

hey itsgametime! thanks for your post! You are right we have to pass!! we have the people to do it bu the plays are not dynamic!! Its the same stuff over and over, let me ask u this, I love colby ginn, go look at my posts about him, love the kid he will put his head down to get more yards, but did you see who dobie had on punt return, not 19 or 11 who have the best hands, they had 25, who by the way dropped a wide open pass and dropped a kickoff, but, if he catches it, and makes a move, hes GONE, Dickinson is in a habit of playing SAFE, im sorry guys our boys have be taught to play SOFT, and that better change soon, they look so unconcerned, we have to score in every aspect of the game, and yes colby will be sure to catch it, but we have a better chance to score with putting bunton, washington or tyrell back there, then to count on the offense FOR RIGHT NOW, that is the sad truth:(

i counted 5 helmets get knocked off, and they were all ours. we sit back and let their offense bring it to us and try to chase them around the corner, Justice Shepard 99 plays like GATA!!! He comes up with bad intentions, i dont know whats going on but the defense has to play and the offensive plays need to change, tyrell needs to go outside.

what our defensive coaches need to be doing

its so quiet out there.......just..........quiet

[Gator4ever]

Congratulations to the Gators.....................


Hope we improve from this point on but it looks like we have too many variables that need adjustment and the coaches are late as it stands. Damage control is all we can hope for and a freak game of turnovers from one of our district opponents.


So far we are playing typical Trahan football from the past 5 years and can only hope for "something" to happen.


CONGRATULATIONS GATORS!!!!

Congrats gators. The stakes get higher in two weeks. Go Bucs

[kjube]

I know I said I was done but the more I think of it the more I get pissed. Two things:
- When Preston & others were in a two back set Dobie had a hard time figuring out who was going to get the ball. Gator coaches DID NOT SEE this and did not capitalize on it.
- When the Gators lined up in 3 wide (right or left) and 1 Dobie defense did not counter well. Again Gator coaches did not see this.

I understand Barkman has had issues with INT's but a balanced offense will help him. I know the coaches see this in film sessions, if they don't then they do not need to be coaching. Throwing on 1st & 10 instead of run run run and then pass will help the offense open up. One last thing, the Gators are not putting fear into thier opponents. I saw one clean blitz, which caused a fumble. I saw #99 bust into the backfield and make contact with the QB but he did not keep his head up and the QB bounced right off of him. The secondary will get torched by Creek. Dobie's #25 was constantly getting behind the secondary all night. Had Dobie's QB been more accurate it would have been at least a two score lead by the 4th QTR. Gators will have to do better or district will be short lived. If I could see all of this from TV (actually online streaming) how the hell does the coaches miss this.

[kjube]

This quote from Springs head coach via Galveston Daily News:

"Hartman said he was out-coached in the game and took the blame. However, he also said this game will help the Chargers achieve their ultimate goal."

Trahan could take a lesson from him.

you are ABSOLUTELY right, two back set makes the defense have to THINK pass? run? option? when we did that we busted right up the middle, we are not aggressive, that is some soft ball being played, kids talking into the bleachers, 4th quater they looked like some sad puppies, the coaches are not great motivators, its gfnd, no one wraps up, and to be honest Dobie gave us that game, we were out played, the corners didnt look like they were playing man they looked like they were in a sort zone with no blitzing to flush the qb out of the pocket and force him to make a bad throw, once again we are playing inside the defense they give us, whenim watching the game now im honestly thinking ok how are they gonna screw up , Trahan ball is not for us. I wanna givem the benefit of the doubt but man this is a bad relationship.

[Gator4ever]

Kjube,


You hit a home run on your evaluation of the coaching.


Clear Springs coach won't have to worry about be out-coached when he comes to Dickinson and he will bring a full tool box in effect. I will guess that Trahan "again" will be out-coached.

[Gata10]

Im a new member, and a former gator under Trahan. I spent many days this summer watching luke and charles throw routes to their receivers and luke was way better. If only they would give him a chance!! :mad: He could add much more to the offense! Tyrell is doing very good, but the coaches are gonna get him hurt if they dont stop running him so much. Mix it up and let jermaine run the ball. anybody else remember how good jermaine did at running back his sophomore year? Jashaud needs to be moved back to safety. He was having trouble covering dobie's receivers. He is a much better player where he can see the ball and read the play. Other than that the defense has looked great!

You must have been watching the wrong kids, Luke just doesnt have an arm, not really sure what you saw but he wasnt even close to what Barkman is what it comes to arm strength or making throws

[Gata10]

I know exactly who I was watching, and all the players I've talked to all say luke would be better for the team. When you throw 6 interceptions, something obviously needs to be done. Its clearly not the pass plays being called....

[mossad]

I know exactly who I was watching, and all the players I've talked to all say luke would be better for the team. When you throw 6 interceptions, something obviously needs to be done. Its clearly not the pass plays being called....

you guys both have valid points, Luke Mesa is more athletic, he leads his receivers better and is not scared to get hit, barkman is a down hill runner hes bigger and he throws with more velocity, why not a 2 qb set? They both are about even but barkman has a little experience on him. Jermain does need to carry the ball more, he needs more touches more screens, he was clutch for us in the playoffs. The thing is Big T is not handling business, his Philosophy may be a good philosophy, but his chemistry does not match with the type of kids we have.

[85Roughneck]

I guess you know the game is on television tonight and it's on Comcast 685. hey brother, I just got back in town from my family reunion. I logged in to find that your boys won. Congrats. Looks like Cinco had their hands full, though. :)

Did you not watch the spring game or the scrimmage? Luke is a good kid but he can barely throw the ball 20 yds and he is kinda small.

[Gata10]

Did you not watch the spring game or the scrimmage? Luke is a good kid but he can barely throw the ball 20 yds and he is kinda small.

Yeah I was there to watch both. Whenever Luke actually got a decent snap he did good. Haha, and 20 yards? I watched him throw the ball over 50 yards plenty of times, just like Charles. Dont get me wrong, Im not here to hate on the players, Charles is a good kid too, but why not play Luke when the team is losing anyway? Trust me, Luke would prove many people wrong. Trahan likes to play favorites, and Charles sure did get on his good side when he use to be the ball boy for us.

Week 3 Contest


Here are the games to pick like last year we all seem to have an open date except Alvin..


Katy @ Westbrook (pick the score) Saturday game


Texas City @ Pasadena (pick the winner) Friday Game


Alvin @ Pasadena Mem. (pick the winner) Thursday Game

[GATA93]

You must have been watching the wrong kids, Luke just doesnt have an arm, not really sure what you saw but he wasnt even close to what Barkman is what it comes to arm strength or making throws


GATA_Gators;


I am not here to talk about players either but they both have there strength and weakness and giving Meza a chance would not have been a bad idea . I think Barkman is getting better but I also saw Luke Meza was a very good leader when he was playing La Porte in scrimmage, sometimes being a good leader and motivator is better than trowing 60 yard bombs. I really hope we get this together soon

[GATA93]

Gatorland just wants whats best for the team, if Barkman is best for the team then I am there for him 100% I am a Gator for life and want nothing more than to see our boys rep that blue and white with heart and pride! G.A.T.A

[GATA_gators]

im going to with Katy, Texas City and Pas. Mem.

[GATA_gators]

21-7 katy

Also i think we need to be more positive here, I would like to point out that the mistakes on the O-Line seem to be getting better every week. Cody Douglas seems to really be helping those boys and I like to see fewer penalties and more domination from our really big O-Line

[Gator4ever]

Coog,


Your right in thinking that way but it don't take much of a tool-box to out-coach Trahan. His teams usually have the talent but the coaches schemes as well as the discipline on the fall starts usually effects the overall performance.


Gator,


I'm pulling for the Gators but the coaching staff once again does not have them ready to perform at a consistent level. Last year and the year before we had to come from behind in most games due to sloppy play calling or sloppy play for the little things that a team should already have worked out.

Until the coaching staff is changed we can look forward to full seasons that will be full of "what if's" and all those negative aspects that should be considered "basic coaching".

[ClearSpringsFan]

don't give hartman that much credit!!!!!


What is you axe with Hartman? Your tirades don't add up.

You bash Hartman for being a bad coach, yet Springs is ranked in the top 25 teams in Texas. Please explain yourself. I have you pegged as a Clear Creek sleeper, a disgruntled player, or parent of a player who did make the cut. :rolleyes:

Quit whining if you have nothing constructive to say.

[mossad]

gatorforever, when brody was at the jr high the varsity coaches came to the jr high and worked with the boys, do u see that now? nope, did they all come when barkman was there? No, we will not win and our boys attitude will not change under Trahan ...Edmonds for head coach and Douglas for offensive coord, let welch brown and hardliek stay everyone else can go, this season is not looking good and it will not change. Trahan gotta go, he has not prepped Jashaud to play corner in the SEC, he doesnt prep our players for life, the whole aura of the team is not good, our colors need a tad bit of yellow and we will look like bay city, we are not bay city, this does not mean i dislike him as a person just as a coach. we can have a good oline good running back good core and he wont win. We are about to face a creek team with 1 player who has 900 total yards by himself...we barely got 500 total yards......Beenight was a linebacker in college, how is he a off coord??

[Gator4ever]

Mossad,


You and myself tried to be positive for a long time and let things play out but we again have found ourselves at a point where there is no middle ground on this inflated coaching staff.


The people of Dickinson are finally talking louder and if we are lucky this will our last year of wasted talent and lost dreams for our kids. Tired of the Trahan "my way"? It's time for our people who do the hiring do do some firing. No more excuses because there are none at this point.

[GATA93]

The Town of Dickinson is ready for a title, people are talking, if changes are going to happen they need to happen now!

[mossad]

nothing is going to happen with coach trahan, the talk around the avenues is that Dickinson wont win under Trahan period. He has had sprinters all over the field, size, depth and he does not know what to do or to hire, the offense is terrible, C.J Mcelroy has 900 yards by himself! our offense barely has 700, our defense can chase anyone down we know that, but thats not football, our athletes are out of place, jasahud should not be on defense period, when he goes to Arkansas he will not see the field on defense, he is our biggest offensive deep threat besides Dittrich and should be on offense. The kids are not motivated, they seem like they are settling during the game. The sidelines are quiet, the defense sat back didnt come up to hit besides 70, 99, 67 and the kid eliff, everyone was arm tackling, all the kids look pretty with their mohawks talking to the people in the stands after being scored on, laughing with their friends in the stands, what will these kids approach to life be because playing football is a lot of responsibility. its fun but if you can take this game serious it means you are a leader, you dont give up in hard times, you look out for your friends, it makes you unselfish. This all translates over to school work and life, these kids are not being prepared, its all about how many carries you get, what colleges are looking at me, me me me me me, attitude reflects leadership, Trahan deep in his heart does not care, he has a big heart i think, but its not for the kids, its for the kids who already have somewhat of a good situation based on home life, grades etc, but Dickinson is middle lower class, most kids dont have both parents and are living with someone else, these kids, with Trahans philosophy dont mix and we are payinghim HUGE amounts of money. $109,000? each one of his checks are roughly $4500 dollars 2 times a month, hes not doing his job, He needs to go.... VELVEETA WHERE ARE U AT???? we wont break .500 this year sorry guys

[Gator4ever]

Mossad,


I watched the televised game last night and came away in a bad way as usual after a Gator game. Trahan was interviewed after the game and said we showed Gator fight and that sort of thing and also mentioned that we should have won the other two games.


It's just terrible the way things are happening and honestly it's gonna be a miracle if we finish 5-5. If we go 6-4 then it's a double miracle.


Soooooo.............We told ya soo a few years ago about the Trahan situation and so far nothing has been done.


My heart goes out to Trahan in respect and hope that his health improves. That interview explains a lot about his physical situation and I honestly wish him well.
