Im just curious, to all people acorss the state how do yall know about Abilene High ?

[warbirds141]

This is a dumb offseason question but, when did yall start hearing about Abilene High Football Program. and do you like it ?

[t00 playa]

The parents went to to college in abilene... so have been there a few times.... and they tell me about how it is there... :eek:

[ktCarl]

On this board. Otherwise I don't know much about the Abilene program. Start writing more about your program and encourage other Abileners to contribute to this board.

I do know that women don't treat you mean in Abilene.:rolleyes:

I just remember 52 to 0 at Baylor Stadium in December. What a blowout!!

[slcdragons]

Gave the Dragons a game in '04

Didn't gave the Dragons a game in '05

[Big_Maar]

I heard about them on this board but nothing more after they lost out. I hear its a good program and would like to know more about it. So lets us in on the Abiline info.

SLC FANS don't hijack this thread. We already know about ya'll.:D

the helluva game against us in '04

[mojo61]

Watched them play Odessa Hi in 1954 (I guess "across the st." means Odessa, too).

Pretty proud but disappointed in the last min. watching them play SLC in '04 (the Eagles prob. didn't have enough recent experience playing in a "big game").

Totally humiliated watching in Waco fm. the beginning of the game until the end in '05.

Ab. has rebuilt their prog. in the last decade (partly @ Ab. Cooper's expense w/ the re-drawing of boundary lines). The Eagles usually field a pretty good team nowadays; I knew that the '05 team was a shell of the '04 team; we're hoping for a better showing this season.

The great Abeline teams of the 50's got national exposure and put Texas high school football on the map for the first time

[bubbacoach]

This is the first I have heard of it.

[mojo61]

Right, g-owl60, those Chuck Moser Abilene teams (54, 55, & 56) were really impressive. I think you had to actually see it to really understand how impressive they were (even the warmups were impressive). It was like watching a well-trained & led special military unit. I guess SLC comes to mind among today's teams that exude that kind of aura.

I don't think any team, though, today has the kind of team discipline & individual discipline that Moser's players had--maybe its a bygone product of that era.

I grew up in San Angelo, and around Coleman/Santa Anna/Brownwood before moving to Southlake. Would here about them on the news out there and on the radio.

[LUFPAN]

I just know that Abilene usually loses to SLC one week after Denton Ryan loses to them and one week before we lose to them.

My dad played for the Eagles 1953-1956.

Great post.

Heard about the Abilene-Waco rivlaries..........


But, saw them up close at the Alamodome in 2003. Waco won 20-10...and didn't make the playoffs that year.
