Stallion,

can you tell us which players from last years' class received the same 5.1 rating?

Gonzalez's Hutto Hippos started the season tonight with a 49-0 trouncing (of somebody).

Hutto defeated Vista Ridge, 49-0 in Class 3A action tonight. Here's a link to the stats for the Hippos from tonight's game.

since there is not a single Senior on the roster and no Zach Roades on the team I'm assuming that is the JV team.

Gonzales is the Hutto Hippo. Rhodes is from New Braunsfels.

( Gets confusing with all the committments we have,huh)

[Stallion]

my only defense is that I was extremely intoxicated at the time. Thanks for the Box Score of the team our OLM recruit plays for!!!!!!

Now that's funny.
How's your head this morning, Stallion?
I recommend a little hair of the dog, my friend -- and drink one for me (my boss frowns on such things in the office).

This does qualify as an allowable excuse. No note is necessary, simply a slurred explanation will suffice.

My grandson goes to Vista Ridge. It a new high school and has no seniors on the varsity. About a third of its starters are sophomores.

I went to the game last night to see how our new commitment looked. He is huge!! He played left guard on offense and defensive tackle on the first two or three defensive series, during which time he caused and recovered a fumble. The program listed him at 285 lbs. and Hutto's left tackle at 265 lbs. So, needless to say, Hutto ran the majority of its running plays to the left; most of which went for long gains because the defensive linemen were on their backs.

I am no football expert like most of those who post on this site, but he definitley has the size and it looks to me like he has the potential to be a player. Like Charley Brown said, however, "There is no greater burden that great potential".

[Stallion]

its funny River Pony-because I became intoxicated because of the Thursday Nite Ladies Nite at Red River in Dallas. No relation to your handle I'm guessing.

[Col. Nathan R. Jessep]

I concur.

As far as Big men go.. IMHO Many of the big men are not the Rivals or Scout darlings.

At the Kickoff Lunch the guys I saw are BIG. A lot bigger than the past 3 to 7 years. That is ALL good to me.

I know, lets see how they protect the QB this year. OR - how they smash the QB.

Like BUS, I Like the big guys. It's good strategy to get a QB & a "Big Ugly" in the same week.

Interesting. Based on what I've seen, and what I've been told by guys who have seen more practice (and know more football), Hudman, Mapps and Sanders (along with Givens) have been among the most impressive freshmen at 2-a-days.
