A few years ago when they hosted the games at NRG the UIL lost 1million in revenue due to having 100k fewer attendance numbers and etc. After that they made sure it was going to be in Dallas. According to numbers the UIL pays the rental fee of the venue for these games. NRG charged 450k while Jerryworld only charges 250k. I’m not sure of the current numbers.Ā 
Ā 

while yes tv is a big part of it so is the UIL and their revenue for the event. More revenue means more money for participating schools

Yeah, I most definitely was not trying to rehash the argument and tried to respectfully acknowledge Jerry World’s value in the equation. Ā 
Ā 

I also knew it would be too much for the DFW Chamber of Commerce types to resist.Ā 

Are we really getting nostalgic about untelevised state championship games at Waco ISD Stadium?

FUCK.Ā  THAT.

It’s the premier stadium in Texas. Will be interesting to see if they try to have them at the Rangers new place.

So Beau Vine puts his nuts out there on the game predictions.Ā  Much respect there.

What sayeth the hoard today?

Carthage 35Ā  Gilmer 13

Argyle 41Ā  Lindale 31

The Bridgeland- Dekaney 4 OT game was nuts, CraziestĀ game I've ever been to in my life.Ā 

If they had one of those win probability meters for that game i bet both teams were at 95% or higher at least twice.Ā 

here are some highlightsĀ Ā 

Ā 

Gilmer up 7-0 early.

Guess the officials decided to overlook the blatant td springing block in the back.Ā Ā

Not to mention the targeting and facemask on the 3rd down play.

Google "free-blocking zone."

Yeah, there's liable to be a brawl before this game is over.Ā  Lots of little extracurricular stuff going on.

I expect Carthage to take control eventually. No pressure on Horton.
14-7 Gilmer

bigtime hold as QB releases the ball

Great call on the catch.

dumb...

Ā 

the lawsuit.

I can't watch but sounds like Carthage's line is obliterating Gilmer's ... Carthage is prob pissed they were sleepwalking for the first 5 minutes to give up those points.Ā 

Argyle vs Carthage would be a good game.

42 straight points by Carthage.

Well we’ve had some surprisingly good games and major upsets before this. We were due for anĀ expected blowout.

It boggles my mind Carthage’s coach has more titlesĀ (7, soon to be 8)Ā than playoff losses (6).Ā 

Carthage is just so much faster and stronger than Gilmer.Ā 
Shit, Wimberley gave Carthage a better game than this...

After the first half of the game, the Jaguars led 28 to 7. In the second half, Fenner said officials called 16 penalties on the Jaguars, while ignoring all but two penalties made by the Eagles. The Eagles went on to win by a field goal after an LBJ touchdown was called back.Ā 

Wimberley made it to Jerry World last year too. Carthage just has their program rolling!

It’s an immense pressure on the officials selected to do the games in Jerry World for our state championships! They are selected by the UIL and their respective chapter. It is truly an honor to work any of these games - 1A all the way to 6A!

Last year I was given the ā€œhonorā€ of just working on the chain crew for all three games on Saturday. That was one 5A and both 6A divisions. I was there on the ā€œfront rowā€ for three State Championship games!

All props to everyone involved and during this COVID year, I’m glad that I’m at home and watching it on TV.

Cut one round of 1A-3A and split up the weekends. 4A-6A the following weekend. No need to have championships games being played at 11am in the fuckin morning.Ā 

Fuck that

Ā 

6 rounds iof playoffs are what should be. Ā Not sure if you noticed, but 3-4-5th round games were on Thursday for many schools in smaller classes. They do it to be ready for the State Finals.Ā

I doubt it.Ā  Can't address the allegations, but someone I know who saw it - he has zero connection to either school - said it looked odd.Ā  After the Okie lite win when Charlie got booted, I believe that officials can definitely be for sale or have agendas.Ā  But I generally consider such things highly unlikely.

I watched the game.Ā  At no point did I think, "Holy hell, that's bad officiating (at least worse than you normally see in HS)."Ā  LBJ was just being stupid in the first half and then their coach went stupid in the 2nd.Ā Ā

Thanks.Ā  I went back and watched some of it on TexanLive.

The "unfair act" thing cracked me up; looked like the coach reached out onto the field and touched the player to keep him from coming off the field when he was coming to the sidelines.Ā  I don't know the rule, but I assume that's illegal.Ā  Ref threw a flag nearly right away.Ā Ā 

I'm willing to give that officiating crew the benefit of the doubt, given that they had made a really good call on the previous play on the illegal forward pass when Dekaney tried to run a flea flicker off a pop pass.Ā  If the ref knows that's illegal and the coach doesn't realize the pop pass is a forward pass and draws up a play having that guy throw the ball (again), it shows which party knows the rule book.Ā Ā

On their possession in the 3rd OT (I think) Dekaney tried a field goal that was blocked by a kid with the club on his broken hand, picked up and returned about 50 yards by another Bridgeland kid who was pushed out of bounds.Ā  Refs threw a flag on the Bridgeland bench for being in the refs way and the penalty carried over to their offensive possession.Ā  Then a holding call and the ball is at the 50 in overtime. Never seen that before.Ā Ā 

Those calls you mentioned were huge and naturally unpopular with the Dekaney side but were correct.Ā  My son said Dekaney ran the jet sweep earlier on the game and the qb handed it off rather than the flip on the called back play so may have been execution rather than coaching thereĀ
