Dear, KT (aka R2):

I write this to you with the hopes that you pay attention to the words i write, and the sincerity of them sail past my reputation. I will be harsh, i will be fair, and i will try to be quick.

When i first came to this board their was a lure to it that was unmatched by any other site on the web. Perhaps because the whole interactivity had not caught on yet, or perhaps because it was truly the right time to embark on such an attempt. either way, i instantly became addicted to the content of your website as the personalities that were present on the board (when it was on the old forum). I didn't join at first, mostly because i didn't have time and was just and avid reader. However i found it hard to resist engaging in discussion revolving around high school and collegiate ball. so i joined up, and stay around till about July when i excused myself from the board....with every intention of staying away. i imploded admittedly, mostly due to my irration at the content of the board. however like any good product, it was hard to put down. I pushed other posters, i pissed them off, i behaved inappropriately a lot of the time. you tolerated it, eventually i realized i had to excuse myself. I had lost sight at the purpose of this outlet, and abused your hospitality to allow me to stay. I would regretfully acknowledge that i had produced far more non-sense then purpose. which brings me to my next point.....

Don't let this board turn into garbage.....it has far too much potential to be littered with this "trolling" attempts by posters of the lesser capability to discuss and debate. as a recommendation, id ask ALL posters to refrain from being cute on forums where we want to discuss football. why post? you liter it with ****...literally. It got to a point where even i could no longer even have a discussion about football, without hijacking a threat about irrelevancy or random blind sighting cheap shots.

KT, i wish your board the best of luck. But i think that it is pretty evident that posters such as myself have no place here anymore. trolling is applauded, and actual discussion dismissed. The Yard has literally taken over this entire board....at the very beginning i viewed the yard as a great thing....fought for it....loved it...i was wrong. that horrid board that depleted the quality of this board due to tolerance of similar Yard like activity being tolerated everywhere else....

Posters like JTK, Firebird, and Slorch have quit posting at the same frequency, or have quit all together.

JTK and I talked about it over a private message once, and at the time i didn't really pay any mind to it...but he had a point. This board is no longer for posters like me. it reaches a different audience. and frankly, i am no longer welcomed here.

Their are still good posters on this board, but their a LOAD of bad ones.

This board is still a great place, but i can see it further depleting to a "fun house" for the board. don't let it happen. and fellow posters, grow the hell up. let others discuss **** without hijacking it.

I just wanted to talk about 4a football. i wanted to keep a low profile.....but some ******* had to hijack my thread.

im done. as you were

I respect your words, my friend. They do not go unheeded. This board always has a place for posters such as yourself, JTK, slorch, etc as long as it exists. Firebird is a Virginia farmboy now with several new identities. His decline in posting is down to national security.

I can't control how each poster chooses to post, or what posters choose to do with their time in general, but I do have a laser. As all have seen, I will use it. I have been accused of using it too much. I have used it to run off many a troll and will not hesitate to do so if people can't post/debate in a civil manner.

I am in agreement with many of your obervations, it's about time to take out the trash.

But rest assured there is always a place for quality posters as long as this board is standing. What I need, in the meantime, is for good soldiers to stay in the foxhole and help a brother out.

Welcome back HUM!

As Rage said, it's pretty dead around here, due to us not having many 4A and under posters. But, I try my best to do what I can to keep the rankings updated (will be out in the morning, been working crazy hours), and anything else that needs and can be done. We're starting to get a few more posters over this way but, it's still not much.

As I said before, welcome back!:)

I will gladly talk some football with you. Obviously I follow LT football and Region 4 pretty closely, but I also try to keep up with Region 3 and have a background on Houston football. That loser, Katy Fan, has only come over here to try and crap on any thread that mentions LT. He does this because, for some reason, he did not like the gall of me saying that LT has been the best team or one of the best teams in the state in 2008 and 2009.

I believe that and still do, but he seemed to really struggle with it. I tried the back and forth thing with him and made him look foolish, but now I just ignore him because he is an idiot troll. He has tried several times, but now people on here just think that he is a loser. He started an admitted troll post on Garrett Gilbert and LT and got a lot of play, but he really has nothing to add.

He thinks he is "clever" internet guy, but now everyone is bored with him.

I will give my honest opinion on anything in 4A or 5A football that I know about. I will stay away from things that I do not know about.

I, like you, enjoy posting here to talk about football. People may disagree on posts and talk some smack, but honest disagreement is healthy and sometimes fun. Hang in there and lets talk some FB.

I will look forward to our future discussions. I am sure things will amp up as the playoffs roll around, i am hoping Humble continues its level of play well into the semi-final round for a possible LT-Humble match up. I believe that we are one of very few teams that can match up against that offense. but only time will tell, and tests from other teams. Kind of hoping we blow past rounds 1 and 2 and get to meet a powerful offense in Friendswood.

That would be fun to play Humble at Kyle Field in the semis or, heck, Reliant for that matter. I hear very good things about the Humble defense and the level of talent that they have. The best matchup for the LT offense is a defense with talent, speed and also discipline. If one of those is missing, it can be a tough day at the office.

I know that you guys likely get Stratford in round one, but who is the likely round 2 opponent?

I recently discoved Stratford would be our first round opponent...That being said, you hate to look past the guys infront of you. So, the following must be taken into context by any stratford fans. Assuming by nothing else by hypotheltical reasoning, if we were to beat the Spartans we would mostly likely Draw Beaumont Central.

20-4a is such a mess, that it is really hard to tell who is going to come out of that district. But assuming that Crosby or GP make it to the Playoffs, neither one is better then what 20-4a will put out...Especially if that Crosby team comes out, i like Centrals chances.

Third Round would most likely be the winner of 17-4avs.18-4a against Friendswood.

The other side of the bracket will likely produce Montgomery or Angelton as the challanger to who ever wins the area round.

The media will likely favor the Friendswood vs. Montgomery match up for Div 1 Region III.

But like i have said before...I wouldn't count out Humble, Central or Stratford.

Of the 3 however id say Humble is the strongest and more plausable team to knock off Friendswood.


STILL a lot of football to be played. That being said, i welcome the challange of Stratford.
