DI Semi-Finals GotW: Cuero/Gilmer

[Superbacker 00']

although i havent seen the gobblers i have seen the buckeyes and gotta givce the nod to gobbs because i did watch the sealy needville game and thought sealy was explosive and their running game i think is better than gilmers but gilmer makes NO mistakes so.....
Curreo 42
Gilmer 41:clap:

[Superbacker 00']

I do think whoever wins this one wins state:thinking:

[waterboy]

Gilmer will WIN this game. It oughta be a thriller, though. Probably won't be decided till the 4th quarter...... Unfortunately, I have to work and will not be able to make the game.:(

Members of the Army of Buckeyes who read this need to make twice the noise they usually make just to make up for my absence.:clap:

Hey, overall I'd say we have way better vision than the folks in the wide open spaces.

We HAVE to, or we'd be constantly running into trees. :vrycnfsd:

[forum_guy]

i will be at the game rooting for the Gobblers but i think some people are a little delusional for saying Cuero by 2 td's. Haven't seen Gilmer play but they have to be #1 for a reason.

[OldBison75]

Flag, be careful about those bold predictions--last week you said nearly the same thing about Navasota. Matter of fact, you insinuated that Navasota would only score against the band or something like that. That was wrong and your prediction for this week will be wrong. Cuero will score on the first team defense and probably score at least 28. I just think that the Gilmer offense will score at least 35.

The biggest difference in these two teams in my mind is that Gilmer will not give up the big play and will make Cuero work for every point. Cuero, on the other hand, has been prone to giving up a few big plays and Gilmer will capitalize on those opportunities. This is one game where Cuero can't afford to give up a big play and come back, because the Buckeyes will not only take the play, but once they take the momentum they just keep on rolling and get bigger and tougher.

[rojosgirl]

WOW - 18 pages! Wonder what we'll be up to by game time?

FYI -- Cuero will have 2 touchdowns in the 1st quarter. And they won't stop there! Not sure what the Bucs will have, but I know they will get theirs too.

Lots on the line. A HUGE game for both teams. High-powered offenses and tough defenses. Team with the least turnovers wins.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

I did not say anything about the band other than i was watching my three nieces do there thing. I did say that the DEFENSE was going to be to fast, and I was right. Cuero is going to have the same problem that yall had. They are smaller and not as fast as yall are.

Yep, I agree with that, no way around it...

Just remember LH... not as fast as you guys when they handled you a couple of years back... we've beaten faster teams (Sealy, Bay City)... I'd argue Sealy was just as big if not bigger than us, Bay City is always bigger all-around than us...

I still think it's gunna be hard for Cuero to beat Gilmer, but I'd never say I'm certain of that... hope you guys are though :D

OK , I am back at work, for some reason my home computer will not connect to DownLow, had my heart procedure done last Tuesday and was all set to listen to Navasota game on net , when I passed out and had to go to ER (blood pressure dropped to 78/40 ( it was not heart related and I am now fine ) My wife got upsetwith me in the ER because I kept askin to find out score .

Now on to this week.... Like LostAussie said this will be one for the ages . When you think 3A football, you think Cuero and now Gilmer has made their name . No pick from me cause you know who I want to win . It is NOT "just as game", it is THE GAME ! until next week and I hope the Buckeyes are a part of next week!

[waterboy]

Wow! 93-62 in favor of Cuero........that 50% more votes for the Gobblers than for the Buckeyes.:confused: Looks like Gilmer is the underdog in this one......:thinking: I guess y'all think that Gilmer's #1 ranking is bogus.......hmmmm. We shall see......;) The Buckeyes WILL win this game, in my opinion. I don't care if it's by 60 points or 1 point, a win is a win.:p

Gilmers is the favorite no doubt. The 3adownlow poll is fan related and is full of bias thoughts. This just proves there is more Cuero fans on the downlow.

Gilmer has to be the favorite, they have averaged 53+ points per game this year, they have 4 players that are going to play for D1 programs. They are undeafeated and have held the #1 ranking all year. So if I was an odds maker I would put the gameline at:

Gilmer -7.5
Over/Under 79.5

Sorry to say I will not be able to make game, but will be there in heart (use that word loosley these days!) and soul. Doc has told me to remain as stress free as possible for the next couple weeks . But will listening be any less stressful than being there? That is a good question . I will be in Austin for the next couple days for work and by stayn home to listen wil be more family time

Do you seriously think Cuero will be able to put up 46 points on the Black Flag Defense?:eek: IF Cuero wins, I would think they would have to hold Gilmer to less than 35. That's just my opinion. Of course, I'm a homer, too, but I still think Gilmer will win this game. It could be by 1 point, or by 21, who knows, but I still think the Buckeyes will prevail.:clap:

You hear that, Buckeyes? The Gobblers say they will put up 46 points on ya!:eek: If I were on the Black Flag Defense, I'd consider that a challenge!:cool:

J/K I like both teams, so I'm not going to pick one way or the other! If Wylie wins!!!!!! And Gilmer wins, I would like to have another shot at Glimer! If Wylie wins!!!! And Cuero wins, I would like to give Cuero another shot to beat!

Good Luck to both teams!

Actually it's not that insane I guess...

Going into the game vs. The Black Flag defense, Navasota's scoring average was 33 points a game, they scored two more points on Gilmer than they were averaging, 35...

Going into the game vs. The Black Flag defense, Cuero's scoring average is 43.8 a game (we will say 44)... so we round 43.8 up to 44 and add the two points Gilmer let Navasota add on their average and that puts Cuero at 46...

:thinking: So using your logic........Gilmer is averaging 53.6 points per game, so that means the Buckeyes would still win (if we round up :D ) 54-46! I like that!;)

Look, I'm not saying it can't happen, but I just don't see it happening. It'll likely be a shootout, but I don't see the Buckeyes giving up that many points. We shall see.......:cool:

So, what you're saying is Navasota wasn't as good of a team. The Rattlers played lights out, and they deserve credit for that. Don't assume that they couldn't have done the same to the Gobblers. The Rattlers we're not as consistent during the year, and I firmly believe that the week off (bye week) after the regular season helped them get healthier and recharge. I know that in '04 when we won state, we had a bye week at the end of the regular season and I KNOW it made a difference. It hard to gauge these two teams, the Buckeyes and the Gobblers, because they don't have any common opponents, but I can say that this will be a REAL test for both teams.:clap:

i am sure we all think our respective teams do

[hookandladder]

I do not think Gilmer has faced a team that has a QB and RB as good as Cuero, this will be a high scoring game. I will go with Cuero- 49 and Gilmer 28, Tyler and Trent and Cuero's FB will be to much for Gilmer to contain.

I dunno man, holding Gilmer anywhere under 35 would be amazing to me... would have to have some turnovers in there somewhere...

We've seen the speed and size of Gilmer, we just haven't seen great execution added to it like we'll see Sat Night... we're about to get a fight...

Why not pull that card. All we keep hearing is how the KR is going to run all over us and the QB is going to throw all over us. Stats don't mean a thing if you cant put a W in the win column.

Oh yea, how that pink, I mean, black flag defense will shut down the gobblers.

Gobbler's will find a way to win this game. May not be pretty, but a win is a win. Throw the stats out, who cares what Gilmer's play makers have done, you still have to play the game to win.

One team, One town, One goal!!

Unity!

Leadership!

Those are stats Cuero has racked up!!

Turnover's will be the key, I think Tyler will take better care of the ball. He is like a field general out there, could be wrong but I am very impressed with the way Tyler controls the game.

Bleh, we can't get into all of that stuff... talk is talk... don't worry about what anyone says about their playmakers running all over us, shutting us down etc... they're either going to or they're not going to...

we gotta show up and give 'em hell all the same...

You were the one making the comparisons, and you added what Navasota did during the regular season as opposed to what they did against Gilmer. Yes, I'd say that's an assumption. It doesn't matter. You're comparing apples and oranges, in my opinion. What other comparisons do you have? Just curious.;)

Okay... I said Navasota scored 2 points above their season average against Gilmer... I also said Gilmer scored 12 points below their season average against Navasota... I'm just wondering where you pulled "so you're saying navasota wasn't as good of a team" out of that... if anything I would be saying Gilmer wasn't as good of a team as I thought based on that information...

But to clear things, it was all in fun... there is no way to predict what Cuero will score against a defense based on how many points above average Navasota scored against that same defense...

I've been taken seriously again:p

[waterboy]

Okay, Navasota was better than their season average against Gilmer, and Gilmer didn't score their average. What's that got to do with Cuero? You are "assuming" that Cuero is better than Navasota, just because y'all average more points. I hate to break this to ya, but that theory doesn't hold water. Without common opponents, there's no way to "assume" anything. This will be a good contest that could go in any of a number of directions. It could surprise a lot of people and be a low-scoring game.:eek: I don't think it will........just saying......:thinking:

[HEMOTOXIC]

Cuero has dominated region 4 for years, so that 44 ppg avg means nothing. Put them in D24/D25, etc. the Gobblers would not have avg 44 points per game. No way The Gobblers will score 44 points on Saturday. I wish that we had won so we could have shown Cuero who the Rattlers are, again.

True. We beat them 45-0 last year our selves.

[HEMOTOXIC]

I think that the score will be some where around 32-28 range. I think that the defenses will step up big time.

72 - Cuero 17-6
73 - Cuero 49-7

89 - Navasota 52-6

y'all have the last one...

Sometimes, that doesn't equate to victory...it's who is better for 48 minutes on Saturday night.

Reading through these 22 pages I have read more than once that the Cuero defense is suseptible to the big play --- somethong Giilmer is extremely good at pulling off. If that is true then Gilmer wins this one by at least 14.

[SintonFan]

I'm gonna go and pick the Gooblers to win by 4. Why? Because they are real good and knocked off a very good Ingleside team pretty handily. Ohh, and while I may be a little biased, I really really do think Cuero can pull out the win.
Go Gooblers!!!!!!!:clap: :clap: :clap:

Speed unreal.....saw the game Saturday and I would say the speed is about the same as Cuero. Also saw 2 of 3 down lineman that might be fast but fast usually doesn't work against a very active offensive line like Cuero's, which is really similar to Gilmer's.......I guess all this talking doesn't amount to anything.....it's the game that matters!

I am not saying who is going to win, I am just stating the FACT that the Buckeyes deserve the #1 ranking and will be the favorite. I do not need to make a prediction, I feel that the team that wins the game will be the one who executes the best on offense and who will make the one or two game changing defensive plays. Both teams are capable of winning. It will come down to exploiting match-ups, play calling schemes and all the little things.

I post every week what the FACTS are, this week the Gobblers will be the underdog. That doesn't mean they can't win. Go read my earliest post on page 2 or 3

Yeah, that would be the only thing keeping me from making this one. The season is over, but the cold would definately keep me home. Once it drops under 40, I'm calling it quits. Which reminds me of the Cuero/China Springs game in 07. That was the coldest game I ever played in/ever been to.

The one thing I do not want to hear after this game, regardless of outcome, is that one team wanted it worse than the other. What a bunch of crap. Both teams have been going at it for 17 or 18 weeks. Neither team got here by mistake. To say that one group of kids wants it worse is to belittle the other. This is also a statement that cannot be proven so keep that saying off this board.

I made this point in 2004 when AW beat Cuero in the final. Some idiot fan from AW said that they just wanted it worse. Garbage.

One thing I have also observed over the years is that by the time you get to the finals the teams are scoring at about half their season average. Both teams get incredibly focused and play lights out. Don't be surprised if it is 21-17 or 24-21.

[easttexas3a]

This game will not come down to heart, determination, and want too, because both teams will have it.

It will come down to turnovers, penalties, and who makes the fewest mental errors.

I think Gilmer will come out with a W, I don't care how they do it. I don't see the game being too low scoring, but I do not see it going into the 50's either. I was thinking 35-28. But we shall see. I just hope the buckeyes are 100% come game time, and that they play their best. When Gilme ris at their best they are very hard to beat, but their B and C games are very beatable, especially with a team like Cuero.

Cuero scares me because they seem balanced, we all know they will be well coached and won't make many mistakes, and they also have been just plain old whippin people.

Gosh - it's hard to believe that so many people will go out on a limb and predict things they have no control over. And with such passion! Sounds pretty foolish to me. What I do know is that this game will be a barn-burner - a game for the ages!

At this time of year, the teams left standing deserve to be where they are. They have all worked hard and they all WANT to win the big game. They have great fans and their coaches have prepared them well.

Comparing apples to oranges only makes sense if you're making fruit salad. This semifinal game will pit two great football teams with winning tradions against each other. Throw out all the stats, wipe the slate clean, and get ready for Texas football at its finest!

Safe travels to all the Cuero and Gilmer fans heading out to the game on Saturday. I'm praying for an injury-free game for all.

GO GOBBLERS!

[Spread It Out]

Cuero better get their kicking game in order, that could cost them against a good team like Gilmer.

[easttexas3a]

Friend of mine went to the gilmer booster lunching or whatever it is called, they showed like 15 minutes of film, said it was from all opponets, kind of a highlight type of deal.

His impressions were that cuero is medium size, has a few very fast kids but "avg" speed overall. Said they looked to be very disciplined, and run a ton of different formations on offense. Said the QB and RB were what they have been built up as but thought the defense looked average. One thing everyon noticed he said was that Cuero goes both ways with 6 or 7 kids.

Two things scare me, and two things make me excited.

1. Gilmer does very well against teams who have kids going both ways cause they just play so fast, the ball is snapped before the play clock gets to 20 on most plays.

2. Gilmer does very well against teams who have so so defense and a good offense because we can usually keep pace with a good O, and our D can usually make a few key stops.

1. I am worried that we will be facing two of the most tallented players we have all year, and they will both be on the Offense for Cuero. Gilmer is years past has struggled with good running game, and can sometimes overload the box to stop it giving up long passes. This happened vs. LE this year.

2. I always worry about a team that is well disciplined and wont make many mistakes.

Any Cuero Fans acctually get a chance to see us on youtube or osme of the other places, I would figure you guys have seen some things that are worrisome and some things that you feel u can exploit, I would be curious to hear yalls ideas.

[makita_6]

i would have to say that the main thing that would worry me about playing gilmer is there quick pace offence...i have only seen a few hightlight reels, but it seems they run a no huddle most of the time...i believe this could cause cuero some trouble having to play some of their players both ways. i have only seen a couple of cueros games this year, but after seeing the ingleside game i also worry about our pass defense...the no huddle, matched with the QB and the spread offense gilmer has could cause some fits for cueros secondary

having said all this i think cuero has an outstanding offense as well with two of the best players i have seen in tyler arndt and trent jackson...i think our offense can put up some points and it is going to come down to which defense can make the clutch stop(s)

I'll be at the game and pulling for my hometown Gobblers

GO MEAN GREEN

[Tsip85]

I have no horse in this race, but it looks like this will be a hell of a game! I haven't seen wither team play this year, but I know they are both loaded. not sure who I'd want to pick. After reading all these posts, I'd have to pull for Cuero, 'cause that's who I'd rather play in the Finals.:cool:

[Ranger Mom]

I have to admit to being surprised by these poll results, I thought Gilmer would be the favorite in this game.

What are the "other" polls saying??

[Tsip85]

Cuero goes into this game as the under dog. There's just a few more Cuero fans on this board. All the Gilmer fanbase is over on the smoaky forums. They certainly have a much different take on this game!!

[easttexas3a]

I think most of the polls are based on a regional thing. Most of the East Texas people pick Gilmer, most South Texas pick Cuero. I think after that its a crap shoot. Also I have a feeling a lot of it has to do with demographics, if demographically ur school is closer to that of Cuero you tend to pull for them, and vice versa. See a lot of West Texas people pulling for Cuero, lots of Dallas and Houston area people pulling for gilmer.

I just hope both teams play up to full potential, lot of pressure on 16 17 and 18 yearold boys. This is the type of game where I am glad my playing days were over 10 years ago. Those boys will be hyped up unbelievably with 15,000 people at this game. Hopefully the cold won't scare off the out siders from coming to watch.

[waterboy]

I think demographics play a role in who people pick, too, as per example: the votes on Smoaky.com have Gilmer favored 119-39, while 3Adownlow has Cuero favored 105-70 currently. I also think that some of those votes are from people who are pulling for the underdog, and some are just "wanting" a certain team to lose, while others are just "wanting" a certain team to win for one reason or another. Kinda redundant, but it's true.;) Some are pretty confident in their pick......and rightly so with both programs being tradition-rich, but the truth is we won't know how these teams will match up until the showdown in "H" town.:D

I can't wait! Unfortunately, I won't be able to make this game.:( I have to work......:mad:

unless you'll be playing one of the other! Like I said, I'm pulling for Cuero. However, i think Gilmer will win.

[Pawdaddy]

How many times have I read that Cuero has a history this year of giving up the big plays? Well, if only half of those posts are right, this will be a long night for the Gobblers. This 2009 Gilmer Buckeye team is the definition of the big play. It may come on an 80 yard screen, a 1 yard QB draw for a first, or a converted 3rd, or 4th down, keeping a ball control drive alive. The Bucks have the offense to go over the top, and will, or pound a defense as they did Navasota in the 4th quarter.

Gilmer 54 Cuero 24

[lostaussie]

This thread has kind of slowed down and i for one am glad. As i have said on several occasions, I have always wanted to play the Gobblers. Tradition, tradition, tradition!!! when we really exploded on the scene in 2003 I vividly remember the
bobcats of Celina. I thought " oh my God" we have reached the pinnacle of high school football. I have followed football a long time and know about "the teams". Hit list started............bulldogs, both jasper and wylie, mustangs of WOS all vanquished. Panthers of Liberty Hill, wanted them too.............just got a little bigger dose than we could handle:D hope soon to get another shot. others on the hit list include for me Wimberly, Sealy, Brownwood and Decatur. But for now I'll take number 1 on my list..............the Gobblers. Come saturday i will strike another off the list.............and if you can't get excited for this one you know nothing about Texas High School Football, its the Buckeyes and the Gobblers for gosh sakes.................IT'S THE FREAKING GOBBLERS.............I'm stoked!!!!!

Gilmer 54 Cuero 24 54-24... I believe you are living in a dream world. This game will be MUCH closer than that.

[warrior12]

Gobblers +3

[CueroDad08]

I have sat back the first few days just to read the reaction to these two teams. Gilmer is the number one team in the state for a reason. They are loaded on both sides of the ball. They will be very tuff to upset. But what so many people dont realize is these kids from Cuero are something very special. This was going to be Cuero's year to rebuild after so many Sr's were lost last year on both sides of the ball. But after the death of a fellow teamate these kids can fill something knowone can explain but these kids. They are not the best team we all have seen here over the last 6-7 years but they are a team with heart and willing to learn and get better each and every day. They just will fight each and every play untill the very last sec is off the clock. Yes there are lots of kids that go both ways for Cuero. But if you watch every play they are also in and out more than what you think. Cuero has always been in alot better shape than most teams we have played , so dont look for the Gobblers to tire, they will not stop cumming at you. It will take a perfect game and a little luck for the Gobblers to pull this off. But it can happen and these kids beleave they cant be stopped. To them it really dont matter who is on the otherside of the ball. Good luck to both teams, this will be one for the ages.

BEAT THE BUCKEYES!! LET'S GO CUERO!!!

[YTBulldogs]

Man, I can't wait for this game. Both teams proven winning history. No one will be dominated. Stop one aspect of the opponents game, they have several more weapons for which to unleash.

Playing for Daingerfield (near Gilmer) back in 80's, and living in Yoakum (near Cuero) since 1986, I know these two schools very well. Awesome tradition, and the envy of many. Both towns should be extremely proud of these teams. I am, and I'm a neighbor.

No way will this game be a blow out. Teams too talented to allow that. But, I just think Cuero has a more complete package overall. Except kicker. Which could play a role in the end.

Us fan's will get to enjoy some awesome plays, some snottbubble hits and just a great high school game. One of the best ever I believe is forthcoming.

My final prediction:

Cuero 27
Gilmer 24

[YTBulldogs]

Was Yoakum's pleasure to lend our Doghouse Indoor Practice Facility to Cuero yesterday. The rain hampered their ability to get some Gilmer game plan work in.

I kinda hope it is. But I know the Buckeyes will be stoked and if they hit early in a game, it seems to snowball on the other team. Coaches will have a few wrinkles to get receivers open, new blocking schemes......there will be things that will create opportunities and then the machine will take over. Cuero could be stouter offensively than I think, but I stand behind the Buckeye defense and the coaches that have made the adjustments to shut other teams down this year. Just the facts, check it out.

No way this game will be a blow out Pawdaddy. Zero chance.

Might come down to a crucial bonehead penalty someone draws for getting too hyped and letting the emotion of the game take over. Team that play's like they been here before will win this one.

Like to get my ticket before the game. Is Cuero ISD or the HS selling them?

I like your assessment.

Let me add that Gilmer may have the fastest and most atheletic secondary I have seen all year. It will be important for Tyler to take what they give him and every now and then run the ball.

I watched Gilmer vs Navasota and I do think that was one of the fastest pace games I saw in the 1st half. Gilmer keeps a good tempo on offense. I think, as fans, you will watch two very similar teams match-up on Saturday. Niether is overly big. Gilmer likes the WR flow screens, and tunnel screens, they are able to execute the option read because both QB and RB are very ellusive. They even run a little quick option. When these speedsters get outside the tackles they are tough for one guy to bring down. The Gobblers will need big plays from the DE and keep the backfiled contained in the tackle box. They are tough to stop, however these kids are human, (both Curo and Gilmer) they will drop passes and some lineman may miss a block, and there will be a few let downs on defense; it just won't happen very often.

The TEAM with the less mistakes wins. Gilmer and Cuero fans both are saying to themselves, "if we play our style of football, then no one can beat us." That is true, so it comes down to which coaching staff can make the other team get away from what they do best. Can one team take away one aspect of the others game and make them one dimensional? Can they continously put the other team in 3rd and long, can they call the timely blitz's or screens? After this game you will look back and see where the big play was made that determined the outcome.

One more thing I would like to point out is that in 1995 the High powered Gobblers played the Sealy Tigers. The Gobblers that season were very talented from top to bottom at every position. Six men were signed to D1 scholoships and three had NFL contracts (Finley, Anderson, and Barrnett). Sealy on the other hand had one athelete sign a D1 scholorship that year. However the better TEAM was Sealy that night, they were nothing fancy, they just played solid and executed when they had to.

The game Saturday night will be much like the one in 1995. Gilmer comes in ranked #1 with four to five players capable of playing D1 football, the Gobblers on the other hand will have one probably two at best. If the Gobblers can play a little above their talent level then as a TEAM they have a great shot to pull out a win. The winning team will have to be pretty close to perfect though, Just my opinion.

[YTBulldogs]

That's why it's played on the turf, huh HH? To me, this is the state championship game. Unless numerous players sustain some booboo's from this clash, the winner here will win state the following week. Then, withdraw symptoms set in.:(

[rojosgirl]

Hey King Rob! Glad to see you out there again. Where have you been? The Gobblers are ready for some more football!

I've seen a couple of posts predicting Gilmer beats Cuero 50 something to 30 something. Are you kidding me? I really can't see Cuero going down by that kind of margin and hopefully, not at all! We'll see . . . . .

These Gobblers are a very special group of young men. They display characteristics that should be the envy of many. Come Saturday evening, they will step on that field and give it their all. All for their team, all for their town and all for their fallen brother.


GO GOBBLERS!! We miss you CP22!

Careful what you say. There are 2 very good teams playing in Waco on Saturday that certainly have other plans for Gobblers or the Buckeyes!!

This WILL be a great game! I'm looking forward to watching it.

[waterboy]

I keep seeing where Cuero is playing for a fallen player, and that their motto is "one town, one team, one goal", or something like that. You know, Gilmer has that same motto, and we also have a fallen comrade who the team is playing for, Matt Camp. Matt Camp was the play-by-play announcer for the Buckeye games, and his son is the ball boy for the Buckeye team. He meant the world to this team and the whole city of Gilmer. I find it odd that BOTH teams have similarities that are unreal, and add to the subplot of this matchup.:thinking: The unfortunate thing is one of these teams will fall a little short of their "goal", even though they will both have plenty to be proud about -- having such good seasons.:clap:

I find it odd that BOTH teams have similarities that are unreal, and add to the subplot of this matchup.:thinking: The unfortunate thing is one of these teams will fall a little short of their "goal", even though they will both have plenty to be proud about -- having such good seasons.:clap:

This bears repeating. However, one thing is wrong at the end of every post you make.

It's now CODE GREEN!!!!!!!

Gotta Go with the Gobblers in this one, I picked Sealy to beat 'em last week but that didnt work out

[Gobbler Fan]

All these Gilmer posters saying Gilmer has been the best 3a team all year yada yada yada... we'll just take being the best team Say . night ;)


Backing you all the way Gobblers ....GOOOOO MEEEEAAAAN GRRREEEEAAANNNNN:clap:

[Gobbla2001]

You know, the story about Gilmer playing for a fallen Buckeye (no matter player, announcer, fan, they're part of the community and a Buckeye) and Cuero playing for a fallen teammate reminds me of why you gotta tell these kids not to go into a game wanting to "win" the game for that teammate etc... you don't want to feel like you let the guy down... you kinda need to go with the "leave it all on the field deal"... you might not win the game, but play the best you can, as hard as you can for that fallen teammate, don't let them down in that aspect...

[Gobbla2001]

I kinda hope it is. But I know the Buckeyes will be stoked and if they hit early in a game, it seems to snowball on the other team. Coaches will have a few wrinkles to get receivers open, new blocking schemes......there will be things that will create opportunities and then the machine will take over. Cuero could be stouter offensively than I think, but I stand behind the Buckeye defense and the coaches that have made the adjustments to shut other teams down this year. Just the facts, check it out.

Buckeyes 54 Cuero 24

First off I'll address your last line, "Buckeyes 54 Cuero 24"... not hatin' on my boys, but I wouldn't be too shocked, Gilmer's a damn good team and all we can do is play our game...

As for you guys hitting early in the game and it snowballing, I don't see the snowballing... if you guys "hit" early because you're just that much better, yah it might get nasty, but it won't get the Gobblers down...

Against Sealy, a team with the size and speed of Gilmer on D and what I think is just as good of a defense (probably behind on offense) it was 21-7 Sealy at the end of the 1st qt when I got out of the truck... They were calm, no freakin' out, just kept getting after it, started playing harder it seemed, no panic... 28-27 Sealy at half...

I think what helps is that our offense can keep us in a game and the D can feed off of that... it also helps having a 3 yr starter at QB for the first time since '00... the dude is a solid leader, just knows what he's doing and in his three years has learned not to try and do "too much"...

plus, after what I saw in the Sealy game, this coaching staff is doing one of the best jobs they've done in the Reeve era ('03-present)...

We shall see...

Exactly, and both teams have done just that. That's all that is asked of them, too. "Give up" is not in our vocabulary.:cool:

and I didn't get to see the game, had do listen on the radio, but against Yoakum Cuero was down three scores going into the 4th... the guy just nutted up...

puts it this way: down 4 in the last minutes, 4th and goal from the 29...

now I'd say Gilmer's D is better than Yoakum's for sure... but that was a while back and the heads are now out of the asses... doubt they come in expecting to beat Gilmer... they come in knowing they have to play their best game all year to get past these guys, and that they can...

oh so you are saying no one from abilene believed they would beat cuero in 2004? yeah i doubt it. why wouldn't cuero fans think they were going to win that game? and considering they lost by a fg as time expired, i would say they had a very good reason for believing they had a chance to win.

[XtremeCouture]

and anyways you're from abilene. go post on your own thread. seriously, some cuero fans are predicting to lose but i can guarantee you there isn't a single gilmer fan saying they will lose. so why you are deciding to talk crap about cuero is truly beyond me.

The meeting place will be near the scoreboard which is on the north end of the stadium. If you will bring a small sign with "Downlow" printed on it we can find each other. :)

So come on down! By then you might be delighted for an excuse to move around and warm some limbs. :)

Buckeyes face storied Cuero in semifinals

By: Joe Dodd

When the Gilmer Buckeyes and Cuero Gobblers meet Saturday at 6 p.m. in Bowers Stadium on the campus of Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, it will be a showdown between two of Texas’ most successful high school football programs.

Cuero has won 645 games in its history, while Gilmer has 569 wins as a program. The Gobblers have recorded 10 trips to the state finals, winning 3 championships. The Buckeyes have 3 state final appearances and one championship.

Since the 2000 season, Gilmer is 110-17 while Cuero is 104-22. The Buckeyes have a 20-7 playoff record in that time period, while the Gobblers have gone 20-8 in playoff games.

Gilmer has won 44 consecutive district games, while Cuero has recorded 33 straight district wins. The Buckeyes’ home winning streak stands at 34, just ahead of the Gobblers’ 33 game home streak.

Gilmer has lost to the eventual state champions 4 out of the past 6 years, including 3 times in a row. Cuero has lost in the semifinals 3 of the past 5 years, including 2 years in a row.

This is a matchup featuring the two best programs in Class 3A this decade; two programs that are tired of runner-up finishes.

“Since 2003 we’ve either been the state champion or lost to the state champion five out of six years. The secret to winning it is always being around it,” said Gilmer head coach Jeff Traylor.

Cuero head coach Mark Reeve agreed with Traylor. “I think both teams have been fortunate. I think consistency is the key to a good program. Both teams have been able to knock on that door. We’ve been to the semifinals five of the last six years, and we’ve made it once to the championship game in 2004,” said Reeve, whose team lost to Abilene Wylie in the Division I final, the same year Gilmer won the Division II title.

The similarities continue when you look at the Buckeyes’ and Gobblers’ 2009 teams. Both are 13-0 with high scoring offenses and stingy defenses. Gilmer averages almost 54 points per game, while allowing less than 17 points per game. Cuero’s offense scores an average of almost 44 points per game, and allows just over 17 points.

The Buckeyes’ offense averages 464 yards per game. The Gobblers’ offense averages 442 yards per game. Gilmer’s defense allows an average of 214 yards per game. Cuero’s defense allows an average of 247 yards per game.

Both teams are led by senior quarterbacks; both three year starters. Stump Godfrey is 39-3 at Gilmer, while Tyler Arndt has a 36-5 record at Cuero.

“Both teams have excellent quarterbacks. Everything starts with that signal-caller and we’ve been real fortunate with ours and obviously Gilmer has too,” said Reeve. “Both teams are very sound in what they do and have a strong belief system in their offensive approach. Both teams are very balanced. Both teams can throw the football and run the football.”

“They’re as close to what we are like as anyone I’ve seen,” said Gilmer head coach Jeff Traylor.

While the offensive statistics are amazingly similar, the Buckeyes and Gobblers go about it in different ways. Gilmer employs the spread offense, while Cuero’s offense is very multiple, with the Gobblers lining up in many different formations and using a lot of motion.

The Buckeyes rely more heavily on the passing game, counting on Godfrey’s arm to put them in the end zone. Godfrey has delivered 113 touchdown passes in his career, the sixth best total in Texas history.

The Gobblers are a more run oriented team, and who could blame them with super sophomore Trent Jackson in the backfield. Jackson (6-0, 185, 4.4) burst onto the scene as a freshman last year with 1,436 rushing yards and 26 touchdowns, breaking Robert Strait’s school freshman rushing record. Strait starred at Cuero from 1985-1988 and is the 6th leading rusher in Texas history.

Jackson followed up his debut season by breaking Strait’s sophomore rushing mark with 2,311 rushing yards and 32 touchdowns on 257 carries.

“He’s as good a tailback as we’ve ever played against; and we’ve played against some really good ones,” praised Traylor, who listed Liberty-Eylau’s LaMichael James, now at Oregon; Chapel Hill’s Matthew Tucker, now at TCU; Carthage’s Dwight Smith, also at TCU; and Tatum’s Bryce Beall, now at Houston, as the best backs the Buckeyes have faced in the past 3 seasons.

Don’t let Jackson’s gaudy rushing stats deceive you; the Gobblers can throw the football too. Quarterback Tyler Arndt (6-4, 207, 4.5) has thrown for 2,184 yards and 26 touchdowns with only 4 interceptions this season. “He’s got a very strong arm. He’s taken us to the semifinals all three of his years at quarterback. He’s been very consistent for us,” said Reeve.

“He’s so accurate; his arm is so strong. He reminds me of Will Middlebrooks from Liberty-Eylau,” said Traylor about Arndt, who has offers from 7 Division I colleges. Middlebrooks led Liberty-Eylau to the 2006 state championship, beating the Buckeyes in the first round of the playoffs.

Arndt’s main targets are wide receiver Monte Green (6-2, 165, 4.4) and tight end Tanner Hoffman (6-1, 220, 4.6) who have combined for 839 yards and 9 touchdowns on 47 catches.

“They’re as good an offense as we’ve ever played against,” summed up Traylor, who is impressed with the Gobblers’ play calling. “They’ll throw it on first down. They don’t wait until its third and ten and everybody in the stadium knows you’re going to throw it. They mix it up. They play-action pass and run trick plays. You don’t ever know when it’s coming. They’ll run it on third and long,” said Traylor.

“Our defense has got to play way over their head. They’re going to have to play at just a totally different level,” warned Traylor, who is very concerned about matching up with the Gobblers. “With our injuries, I don’t know what we’ll be able to do,” worried Traylor.

“We need some breaks,” replied Traylor when asked what it would take to win the game. “We’re going to need some turnovers. We need to win the kicking game. Offensively we’re going to have to match them. Whatever they do, we’ve got to go match.”

Cuero’s Reeve was a little less forthcoming in his assessment of how the Gobblers could defeat the Buckeyes. ”We’ve got to have one more point on the scoreboard,” Reeve dead-panned.

That’s been difficult to do against the Buckeyes, but Traylor said that Cuero’s defense is very similar to Gilmer’s defense. “Very disciplined and well coached,” said Traylor, who noted that the Gobblers’ defense is small in size, but very fast.

For Gilmer to advance to their 3rd state championship appearance in the past 6 years, Traylor insists that the Buckeyes must reach deep down and will themselves to victory. “There is only about four times a year where you can really reach that high emotional stage,” said Traylor. “We’ve done it once against Kilgore and then again against Jasper and that’s two. I’m hoping that our last two games will be the four times this year.”

Traylor encouraged Buckeyes’ fans to make the trip to Huntsville and help cheer Gilmer to victory. “Cuero’s fan support is legendary, and Coach Reeve told me that their fans will dwarf our fans,” said Traylor.

Traylor promised fans an exciting game. “It’s going to come down to whoever has the ball last in my opinion. I can’t imagine it being any other way.”

[12thMan]

I'm not spreading rumors. That's why I'm asking. I didn't want to assume some people from Gilmer did this.

[gobblergreen]

Actually the song came in the form of a text, supposedly started by someone from Gilmer...not sure where the song originated, but I received the text and as a family member of Cole Thomas, I found the song very disturbing...once again let me make it very clear, I am not pointing the finger at anyone, but am asking everyone that reads this post, if you know who or how this started, please ask them to stop it...

[12thMan]

I agree 100%. Let's stop this and show some respect.

[waterboy]

This is the first I've heard of it. I can't see any way that something like that could've originated up our way. That's not our style. We don't play that way.:thmbdwn: Surely, if it had I would've heard about it before now.

[Gobbla2001]

Every town has a bad apple or two, I know we've got some in Cuero... the Gilmer fans earned my respect a long time ago, aint nothin' changed (cept our team and their team are finally playing each other)...

A Holes! :mad:

[gobblergreen]

Like I said, I am not putting the blame on anyone, I just know that whoever would choose to use the memory of a sweet, young person like Cole Thomas, to fuel the playoff fire is IMO one sick individual:(

I agree that every town had its bad apples, but for someone to do something like that I think they would've had to have known a little more about Cuero and their situation there than what the media tells us, in my opinion. Could it have been someone from your area wanting to add some motivation through a malicious "anonymous" text? Anyway you look at it, it's WRONG!:thmbdwn:

[Gobbla2001]

and BINGO was his name... oh!

maybe I've just been around the football message boards a wee too long, but I never take what "so-and-so" team said about the other seriously... I'd say about 95% of the time it is a fabricated lie from within the side being slammed... same with "so and so is injured, so looks like we'll be short a guy"... most of the time that's a lie...

And I'm not slamming my fellow Cuero faithful on this board disturbed that such a tasteless song was written... I totally believe that that message has gone around...

But do me a favor:

Step 1. Pick up your cell

Step 2: Create some stupid, sick rumor in a text message

Step 3: Send it to everyone in your address book (unless you're like me and have parents who do not appreciate such thinks, deselect them)

Ok, made it to Nacod-whatever for the Daingerfield tilt at 2PM tomorrow. Lovely drive with the snow falling I might add.

Still can't wait for the Cuero one though. The snow was coming down hard in Houston. Stopped just north of Houston.

Gobbler travel tomorrow will be perfect. Cold, but---clear and dry. Stars out now near the SFA campus.

This cold weather should make for some nice snottbubbles when the Gobblers and Buckeyes smack one another.

[GreenMachine]

Just came from the Smoakhouse forums and I can say this, those guys over there are hilarious. One thing is for sure, each team has each others respect. Should be a great game :thumbsup:

[easttexas3a]

No such song has been heard around here. I would suspect its someone in house trying to fuel the fires. It happens around smoaky all the time, someone creates a bogus name from an enemy town then makes outlandish statements.

Of course everyone including gilmer has its bad apples.

Gilmer has nothing but respect for Cuero, and share sympathy's over the loss of a young man.

[gobble_up03]

Staying home...hubby working. Dad gum it. I was really looking forward to freezing my tush off and meeting all you folks. I will be listening. And if he gets away early we might try to make it.

I was really looking more to meeting than watching.....believe it or not.

Go Buckeyes....

Why would they still be wearing their jerseys if they won't be playing? I guess y'all will be watching the Buckeyes, and sitting amongst the Army of Buckeyes.:D Don't worry we'll make room for ya.....;)

Good Luck Cuero, I said it before and I will say it again, no other team deserves the Championship more than Cuero, CLASS program and what they had to deal with this past summer that not only affected the team but the whole community of Cuero. You are almost their. Go getem from your supporters in La Grange.

Oh sure! But, my bracket had Prosper beating Love Joy last week
and then Wylie beating Prosper this week. So, it really didn't
matter to me who came out of Region II. ;)

Btw, my bracket also has Gilmer beating Cuero tonight. Scary times
indeed for Cuero fans. :eek: :D

Well its gameday people...cant wait for tonight...gonna leave San Antonio early for some pre-game festivities and to watch some college football!!!

GO MEAN GREEN!!!!!!!

P.S. Go Nebraska! I wanna see TCU in the National Championship!

[Blue42]

My son is one of the freshmen players (tackling dummies) on the team and my wife tried to get him to take a pillow or blanket for the travel to the game on the bus but he being so wise and knowable at 15 said "that's gay" so when I go to drop him off at the gym we see one of the upper classmen starters carrying a blanket and pillow to the gym all I do is laugh.I hope they learn and get a little smarter the older they get.GOD BLESS EVERONE TONIGHT BE SAFE AND GOOD LUCK TO BOTH TEAMS !
GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bullaholic]

I think this one will be one of the best games of the year. All the elements are in place for this one to be a classic---great players, traditions, coaches, and crowds. Wish I could be there. Best of luck to both teams.

[forum_guy]

I had a dream these two teams went score for score in the first half and then the 2nd half Cuero made some adjustments and was able to get key stops and win the game 40-35

[Gobbla2001]

I still haven't voted for who I think will win...

I've thought about this game a lot. You look at these two teams on paper and you see two great teams. But to me, in my eyes, Gilmer is just a crazy-great team. Their talent is unbelievable for the 3A level I think. Add to that great discipline, great coaching, experience playing with one another and the driving force of one of those great football communities, and they're the most dangerous team in 3A and ranked #1 for a reason. This IS the best team in the state of Texas in 3A. Just my opinion...

But as a wise man once said on this very message board, and I'm paraphrasing here, "determining the state champion is not determining who the best team is, it's all about who plays the best in the playoffs"...

Last year at this time I voted for Waco La Vega to beat Cuero... after going down 21-7 at half (which I almost expected), the Gobblers stormed back to tie it up at 21, but the Pirates' ground game, their defense stepping it up and a few mistakes on our side of the deal stopped the comeback in its tracks and it was done... unfortunately I was right with my vote...

This year, same time as last year, I found myself in the same situation. I actually clicked on Gilmer... But I did not submit my vote...

Something tells me, almost assures me, that Cuero will win this game tonight... submit vote...

Cuero 48-42

[poisoned10]

I hope everyone has a safe trip to and from the game tonight. Maybe the bus carrying Tyler Arndt will get lost and break down in a area with no phone reception.

Just kidding. I want to see him in action.

Good luck to Cuero but more importantly GOOD LUCK GILMER!

GOOOO
BBUUCCKKEEYYEESS!

Well, to be honest, I could have flipped a coin to decide who I
thought was going to win this game. But, Wylie/Cuero has already
been done. I'm ready to see Wylie/Gilmer. :)

That sounds good. I just want to be in the loop! :D


I'll send from SA since "others" might be too wrapped up to remember.

Okay, will do and thanks.

[1st and goal]

GO MEAN GREEN!!!

I'm sitting here at home wishing I could have come to the game. Going to be windy maybe. I'll bet you can hear a pin drop and the leaves rustling in Cuero right now.

Hope and pray that everyone makes it home safely. Also for a good, clean, hard hitting game called fairly by the zebras.

I'll be listening and rooting while sitting on pins and needles here at home. Might build me a fire in the fireplace. I'd rather be freezing my rear off in the stands.

[29-3aFAN]

TD JACKSON!!!

What's score?

[gobblerfan02]

gilmer stops cuero at the 5, 42-36 gilmer, ballgame!

Congrats to Gilmer!

[blowfish]

congrats Gilmer...hope we can see you in a rematch!

[alaskacat]

Where would a Gilmer Wylie game be played

or Gilmer Lovejoy?

[blowfish]

wherever it is I will see ya there!
GO DAWGS

[Maroon87]

Credit to Gilmer...Cuero hit them right in the mouth early on but they hung in and made the plays they needed.

[statewide]

Congrats to mean green for a great season. Gilmer is going to be tough to beat the rest of the way.

[44INAROW]

Wow what a great game.. wish we'd of won but we left it all on the field. Congrats to Gilmer. Good Luck next week against Wylie..

We are watching the Richmond vs App State game (DVR of tonight's game) now.. Tre Gray from Cuero has had 2 receptions in the 1st drive. ")

[forum_guy]

just got back from the game. I defintely do retract my agreement with the write up that was posted about gilmer would beat cuero 7 out of 10 times. If anything it would be the complete opposite. Before the game i was one of the ones that said "Gilmer is number 1 for a reason but now say they were not as dominating as they looked on paper. However, Gilmer did show great poise in a comeback win. That one hurts Gobblers. That one hurts for sure. After hearing about how many "D1" commits Gilmer had, the whole game it looked like cuero was the better team and honestly should have won. Defintely feel bad for #12 senior Qb for Cuero. He definitely has a bright future though whether it be football or baseball.
