Thank you - You starting to get it. We just have more! You finally spoke the truth! It's like John King from Longview once said (Keep in Mind he is from Louisiana) when talking about West Monroe - TX has 100 west Monroe's! The same could be said about top several teams in NJ. We don't argue that NJ has had some good teams - We just have bunch every year just like them. You don't here Texans say every year that we have the single best team. We know that our best TEAMS are among the elite of this country. Great Job for pointing out that we are not any different except that we have more!

Pathetic. and, there si no way to know if they might be able to play with the countries best as a result I would doubt they could. TX, this year and last has really sucked at the top. Katy is about to play its 3rd top 100 team this year (out of 13 games). Those other two teams were top 100 going into their game with Katy. Had Katy lost to those teams they would still be top 100. After losing to Katy they fell out of the top 100. Funny how that works. You see, a team's ranking goes down after they lose. Duh. Had Hurricane Harvey not caused Katy's first two games to be cancelled then 5 of Katy's first 15 opponents would have been top 100 teams coming into their games with Katy.

This is the nonsense that TX always does (GA too) Check Cal or Fischer. Thanks and, God forbid, even one team in the "land of plenty" actually plays some know national powers! Not just local barely top 100 teams during the playoffs! We know how that usually turns out though, I guess that is why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When one out of every 14 teams playing football in the United States is in Texas it is hardly surprising that some of the worst - as well as some of the best are in that state. Surprisingly that is how statistics work; the greater the number of sample points - the wider the statistical variation in both the positive and negative directions from the norm. That is why there is so much more variance in the level of high school teams than pro teams; >14,000 high school teams vs 32 NFL teams. I watched Katy practice last night from down at field level - about 40 yards away from them. My reaction was: "My God, I'm glad I didn't have to play against a team like that when I was in high school." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Katy looks ready for every opponent the day before. LT knows (Wakefield even said) that they better bring it because they know Katy will. They know Katy has a couple of road-blocks on that defensive line. Hopefully it's a good game, win or lose. Not expecting to win though. This team has passed up expectations. LT should be a totally different animal in 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a good one, and anything can happen. That's why they lace them up and play the game instead of relying on calpreps to predict a winner. next year the TX top team profiles may look a little different: LT, north shore, Longview, duncanville should all be very good and towards the top of the preseason rankings.mi have my eyes on cedar ridge too...I'm pulling for them to get the upset.

Here is a question nobody has been able to answer: "What, exactly, does the quality of the team you are playing have to do with how good your team is?" Please show your work. If you replaced Houston Lamar with Mater Dei and forced MD to play Houston Lamar's horrible schedule of really awful teams would that suddenly make MD a worse team? If you say yes, that means that both Lamar and Katy would be even better than they are now if they could play the MD schedule, and that Mater Dei wouldn't be as good as you think they are if they had Katy's schedule to play. If you say no, then you just lost your whole "Top 100" argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
