I'll believe in the Cowboys again when they win at least one or two playoff games. I've seen this movie too many times before, and it always ends the same way. Been that way for damn near 25+ years.

Here we go. 

Hurts doing Channelview proud at our expense tonight.

Man never thought that Texas would be a better basketball State than football.   When was the last time we had 5 Texas college football teams ranked.  5 of the top 25 NCAA basketball teams are from the state of Texas. Dville won  The mythical high school basketball national championship. At one time Dville and Richardson was ranked 1 and 2 in the nation

AP Preseason Top 25

First-place votes in parentheses:

1. North Carolina (47)
2. Gonzaga (12)
3. Houston (1)
4. Kentucky (2)

Gonzaga ranked so high because they got Timmy back ,  who didn't get drafted .

I would imagine Dville is more venerable than in years past, unless they got more transfers coming in. Surprised Kimball is #1 in 5A with Morris graduating. Would like to see Carter take out Faith Family this year. Silsbee won't have a full team for quite a bit with how football is going. Got eight b-ball players also in football.

Yep.  But I don't remember 5 of our football teams ranked in one poll.  

True, not at the same time, like basketball preseason,  but 5 in the AP within these past 8-9 weeks

preseason AP we had: A&M, BU and Houston ranked, all 3 are out now and UT and TCU are ranked in the AP

HF, do you know if LT could face Westlake again in the playoffs (based on the districts, regions, etc.)?

LT is down this year but they could still make something of this season

Yes, both will more than likely be D1 and very well could see each other in the region 4 finals (opposite sides of the bracket) 

LT OL/DL play has improved a lot. Having QB injuries early on hasnt gone unnoticed by those of us that are paying attention.

LT has settled and can be a threat coming out of that region 

Looking forward to the game v Drp Sprng

All true. Still disappointed we dropped that game against Steele (our win streak against them ended). WL game… missed opportunities. 
 

So likely LT v. Westlake in the semis?

Not the semis, round 4.  More than likely either one will get NS (region 3) in the semis 

it’s been a solid year for LT actually. They’ve been competitive in their losses with 3 teams in the top 10. 

They’re young and although this season isn’t over it sets themselves up for next year.  Should start the year in the top 5

No doubt about it. Excited to see where we go next year. All I want for Christmas is: 

LT to beat WL and NS (finally) 

And Bama get Tennessee in a rematch 😁 

Hope there’s no second high school built either.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see LT upset WL in the playoffs

A TN v Bama rematch would be entertaining

How good do you think 2021 Westlake really was? Top 5? 
 

I was reviewing memories back from 2003 (if I was born with any sort of gift, it is my memory) and it made me want to watch old SLC highlights. Those teams were sharp. I was most impressed with their 2004 team. 2005 was dominant and gets a lot of praise but Chase Daniel was ridiculous. 
 

Chase Daniel, Garrett Gilbert and Kyler Murray are best Texas QB’s I’ve ever watched (via tape, in person, etc)

‘21 Westlake was very good, maybe top 10 best teams ever in Texas. (I think ‘16 LT, ‘15 Katy, ‘18 north shore and ‘13 Allen could play with them) 

Those old SL teams were fun to watch, very explosive

Beaumont United went 6A by about a half dozen kids. Otherwise they'd run 5A in basketball. Kimball is actually 50 or 60 kids from going 4A.

Kinda curious as to why the Desoto boys haven't had any real great teams in the past few years. Think their last title came against Atascocita a few years back.
