Region I Week 1 GotW: Burkburnett @ Bridgeport - LIVE UPDATES

[loco toro]

whats your thoughts
im thinking bridgeport might not have as easy of a time whipping burks ass as they did glen rose, but i do see a victory for bridgeport, polish up on defense and special teams, establish a running game that consistant and let henson throw to jace hudson a lot and look out. i know its early but man they can only get better.

[Bull_Guy]

Agreed. I think the bulls will have a tougher time in this one. Way to many playmakers to lose though with Hudson, Mullins, Schuett and Huerta tearing up the field. Also first home game. I pick bport by 14.

[SOONER09]

Bridgeport by 21. The Bulls have to many playmakers that can take it to the house.

[5wide]

yall are way ahead of yourselves!! play someone tough and then you can talk about play-makers! as bad as glenrose was...chico would have had some play-makers too!! lol

[loco toro]

dont worry you will get to see them when they play decatur!!!!lol

[Bull_Guy]

Making fun of our team when yall played who...? Whitesboro??? might as well have played a handicapped volleyball team. Glen rose is expected to make playoffs and contend for a district title. More than i can say for decatur..

[fresh-j]

Bridgeport by at least 3 Tds :D

[Bull_Guy]

bport would be puttin the twos in halfway through the first quarter on whitesboro. I cant wait till we play decatur

[loco toro]

some people cannot except that bridgeport football has taken over and outperformed on all levels above decatur, you can have your big head and ill take bulls football any day.

[Sweetwater Red]

Would a mod merge this with the existing thread please.

[orange machine]

The bulls are the real deal folks in the scrimmage against Celina they did very good. Once the oline gells this team will look like the 08 bulls. I know yalls comments are directed more at Decatur, but let's have some respect for Whitesboro those players are fighting an up hill battle every year and they work hard. When you have school and town that is not use to winning it's hard to get support so try not to bash them.

I'm not bashing Whitesboro but it's funny how Decatur wins one game and now they are gonna win district and state.

[Bull_Guy]

Also making a point that we played a decent team and decatur bashes us just cuz we whipped them. When they have even less to brag about.

[Eaglefan]

Decatur's team is much better this year and from what I've heard, Bridgeport's team is not what it was last year (I'm not saying that they are not good, just not as good) Saying all that....Decatur almost beat Bridgeport LAST year...so you better watch what you say...you may be eating crow. When these two teams play, you cannot count ANYONE out!

A more accurate assessment would be that the Bulls offense is as good, or better, than last season---and after this week---look even bettter this early because it is almost the same offensive team as last season, but with more experience. The defense was the ? because so many key players were lost, and from what I saw last night, it appears that some very capable defensive players have stepped up.

If the timing of this year's Bulls offense comes together some more, I see the potential for them to be as good as the 08' offense. I haven't seen very many Bull offenses look this solid, this early, in the season.

Indeed, records can go out the window when the Bulls and Eagles tangle.

Now---Back to the thread topic. I think the Bulls skill positions are too strong for Burk to contain again this season, and I think the Bull defense can contain the Burk offense without breaking.
I think the Bulls should rack up win No. 2 by about 2 TD's over Burk.

Go Bulls!

this hodges kid is better, sure, but as a team they're young, and inexperienced. bridgeport has returned many of the same players that went three rounds deep in the playoffs. ON TOP of a great coaching staff. you may refer to last years game all you want but if you followed both teams you would know dang well that bridgeport didnt show up at all untill the fourth. that being said, the bulls beat deactur in 12 minutes with a 21 point deficit. i would go as far out on a limb to say that this years b-port team is just as good or EVEN better that last years team. its only week 1 so many things will change come big sandy but give credit where credit is due (over 400 yards of offense). the bulls are back baby. and atleast we know how to score in the second half;)

also you can count out good play calling on decaturs part come the first week in district.

bulls_guy, good to see you man.

[Texas State]

Bridgeport by as many as they want

[NateDawg39]

Most of the B port fans only come out during the wins from my time here and bash away...Except Ken, he could pick on a Jaguar and come out with no scratches :D

Bridgeport and Decatur both had good games and have good coaching to carry them into next weeks match ups.

And as far as B Port "Taking over". Taking over what Wise County? Big deal but try a little better and bring us a State Championship so as to shut Boyd up for a while. Neither Decatur nor B Port have been at the top just won bunches of games and have a few trophy's in glass cases collecting dust.

B Port by 10 and I have no clue who Decatur plays.

[garciap77]

Bridgeport!

[Bull_Guy]

I said bport by 20 last week and they won by 24. Ill say bport by either 14 or 17 this week. Maybe something like 21-35.

And I drink Dos Equis, too, Nate. Thanks for the state title wishes---that means a lot coming from someone who wears Eagle blue drawers...:D Stay thirsty, my friend....

Bulls will do ok this season. This is first time I can say the Bulls looked better than I have ever seen at this time of year. In the past its all been O and no D. I was impressed my the Bulls, and want to wish all the best this season.Bulls win this one. Thanks!

There's "too much information" and there's "I need brain bleach" and just past that, there's this post. ;)

There are plenty of Bridgeport posters who are here winning or losing. In fact, I'd say there are quite a bit more who bleed maroon here than there are Eagles fans. I think some of us are just a little feistier. (And I am SO not one of those. I hate trash talking and don't do it unless forced.) But you are right about Ken--he's such a good, classy guy that even when he's trash talking you can't help but like it. At least, that's how I assume the rest of you all take it. ;)

I think Decatur is playing Gainesville in Gainesville this week, but I might be wrong on that.

The bulls roll by21.

[GrTigers6]

Bridgeport has a lot of weapons on offense. And a pretty quick defense. A lot of size and speed on both sides. I havent seen Burk or know much about them So I will be guessing when I say Bridgeport should win this one.:)

[Bull_Guy]

Bridgeport has probably the best set of starting recievers ive seen in years. All are fast, agile and able to break one on any play. Along with the fast runningback and veteran quarterback this offense could be deadly. Burk always has great athletes on defense though so this game could be interesting

[LeonJr]

Well, tbag--I'll never argue opinions, but I will argue history. I going to guess that Danny Henson's Bull offenses have probably put up more numbers than just about all other 3A offenses since 93'. Don't have any figures to back this up, but I think it is a safe assumption based on the numbers I have seen over the years from our coaches. So if running the same plays gets you these kinds of results year-in and year-out---I think I'll be able to watch the same plays over and over.

[Send_the_House]

Bridgeport looks good this year. Burk is down a little I think. Should be an easy win for the Bulls.

I say Bulls by 3 TD's.

Yea dont see any numbers so dont think that is true. when i played we played smart and never lost to bport 7tth-12 not one time! now all the kids care about is if they look good not playing good. they dont care about the team. have not seen a good team in decatur since 06 season. seen good players.

Thats a great accomplishment they can brag about is winning middleschool games when the bulls can brag about winning varsity games. And if you do want be the guy that brags about old middleschool records just know youre wrong. Bridgeports class of 2011 beat decatur in football their 8th grade year.

[Eaglefan]

I'm talking about the class of 2012 not current middle school ...I don't care about what the middle school is doing now...just saying same bunch of kids. What's funny about this is it's usually the old fogies like us that have this big rivalry...if you ask the guys now, they would say that they are friends with all the Bridgeport guys...but we know that changes when we get on the field. lol

nobody likes decatur people

[Daddy D 11]

To be overrated would mean to be rated high without a large number of recent wins correct?

The past 5 seasons LH has 55 wins.
Bridgeport has 35.

So, saying Bridgeport is rated too high would be a valid argument considering their low level of success in recent years.

[Bull_Guy]

Thats why your ranking doesnt come from what youve done 5 years ago. If it did then liberty hill would be near the top...correct?

It comes from what you did last year and how many players you have coming back, strengths, weaknesses etc. etc.

Bridgeport went three deep in the playoffs last year and lost by 4 in the last minute against the state runner up. Most of that team is back this year. Last week bridgeport beat the number 33 team 49-26 with the second string playing most of the second half. Therefore that is why bridgeport is ranked where they are.

Liberty hill didnt even make playoffs last year i think...i dont know dont really care. So go ahead and brag about how good liberty hill USED to be, and pull up stats from 5years ago or whatever, but know that the only thing that really matters is whats happening this year.

How can someone be so critical of coaches? I have been around coaching all my life and coaches get their jobs judged more than any other profession. You rarely ever hear someone telling a banker how to do their job. However, any person can be a coach. Coaches spend more time with kids and yet they get called not smart. Really? I am pretty sure that Bridgeport has been running the same offense for that last 17 years under Coach Henson and they have made the playoffs 15 times. People have really pickup on their offense and their plays really well. If I was a coach and I made the playoffs 15 out of 17 years, I would be an idiot then too. If a MLB player made the All-Star team 15 out of 17 years, people would consider him to be a great player, but coaches get called stupid. That's awesome. I like how coaches work their a** off to prepare their kids and score 49 points and get called stupid or not smart. If a salesman sold the most products 15 out of 17 years, I would bet that people would like to know how he does it. How can you talk about coaches if you don't do it for a living?

I still say the Bulls put a whoopin on Burk. Is that QB from Burk back, he was a stud last year.

Bridgeport takes 7-0 lead in the first. Burk goes three and out. Bulls take back over with 8:24 in the 1st

[slpybear the bullfan]

And if you kids don't mind... This is a game of the week thread. Keep it about the two teams.

[slpybear the bullfan]

Burk takes advantage of a missed fake punt by the bulls.

They score, we are tied at 7-7 with 6 to go in the 1st

[slpybear the bullfan]

Pick 6 by Burk. 14-7 burk with 3:50 in the 1st

[slpybear the bullfan]

Bulls drive the field and score to tie it up, 14 all. 15 secs left in first.

[slpybear the bullfan]

Bulls hold Burk, drive down and kick a 28 yd fg to take the lead... 17-14.

8:06 left in 2 nd qtr

[slpybear the bullfan]

Bulls force a three and out... Take over on their 47. First play is a pass to the Burk 15. They score on a td pass two plays later. PAT fails, Bulls lead 23:14 with 5:07 to go in half.

[slpybear the bullfan]

Bulls hold them and take over with two on the clock after a punt to their own 25. Run the screen on first play to the Burk 20, half the distance on a horse collar... Next play is a Td pass. PAT is good... Bulls up 30-14 with 1:29 left in half.

[slpybear the bullfan]

Bulls pick one off with 17 secs left in half... That ends it, 30-14 Bulls at halftime.

Sorry, no. We leave that to our friends across the Big Sandy. :D

Pulled the starters in the middle of the second half. How do you tell your second string not to score? And Burk was marching up the field pretty well at the end of the game.

Burk looks to be struggling a bit this year. Not many players on the field at all. (But 50 girls in the drill team. Biggest drill team I've ever seen. Go figure.) Even so they showed some talent. We need to work on avoiding the picks. Their QB made some very good plays.

[loco toro]

you just wish decatur could score fifty points.
