Horsefly Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 15 minutes ago, HSFBfan said: That is also a very good point. But some of the games that they do televise from TX can be quite boring Im not sure how good Abilene is. We dont discuss them really here on the boards so its probably not a matchup that i would watch if it was on T I stated months ago Abilene looked pretty good only for an OOS poster to chime n and say "no they weren't" Lol there has been a noticeable regional dominance so state championships don't necessarily pair the two best teams. The better games are leading up to each region. Some years this is true, this year should not be. More parity at the top of each region (except for region 3D2) the best way to know which games to watch is ...ask those in the know, us Texans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Most playoff games are discussed) The problem is most on here are know-it-alls and create their own narrative. i stated months ago Abilene looked pretty good only for an OOS poster to chime n and say "no they weren't" Lol Well since you have seen them i will take your word for it. Im just saying from what i have seen in the past. Maybe it has changed but i have watched some very high scoring boring football. And yes you can say it happens in all states. Im just not a fan of games that a ton of points are scored. One of the reasons i became an SEC fan years ago was because the games used to be such low scoring defensive affairs. This year Bama-LSU 10-0 game IMHO was a great game. Both defenses slugged it out for 4 quarters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find the games uninteresting that's your prerogative. I'm not knocking NJ but I don't find them interesting but I'm not from Jersey. Just like I'm sure people in Missouri would find their games interesting! As an outsider I think of 5 very good teams playing in one league /district that take turns beating each other. You can certainly have your perception of Texas as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what im saying put all the teams that we talk about into one league...DeSoto CH Allen etc etc. let them feast on each other over the course of the season. Like i said i havent watched TX HS football in a while. I think the last time i watched a game was when the Aledo RB went to Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha what you are describing will happen when all the good players transfer to the private schools and then you can follow the TAPPS teams!

TheRealCAJ Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 It's really not necessary for Allen to bring all 1000 members of their marching band to Shreveport to play a West Monroe at the BOB Week 2. Only a 200 mile trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the cheerleaders and band are more than welcomed to join them, granted they raise the necessary money to make the trip. It's not that difficult.
