Yoakum @ Cuero

[Old Green]

This will be the 100th meeting between the two DeWitt County teams seperated by 16 miles. There will be a lot Relatives, Friends, and Co-Workers kids playing against each other. After all is said done the high fives and congratulations done, we're all friends.

No matter what, you can throw the records out the window. Both teams will play hard.

[44INAROW]

I agree Old Green - throw the records out the window.. these two teams battle tough to the end.

GO MEAN GREEN :clap:

[rojosgirl]

GO GOBBLERS! :clap:

[Snotbubbles]

Which Yoakum team shows up is the question? Could go either way, or a Cuero blowout.

Is a nice rivalry game though. Wow, 100 already? Think I seen half of them.

[YTBulldogs]

Read somewhere, maybe here---this is the oldest matchup between 2 schools in the state. 100 years old? Is this right? Or, is there another matchup older than 100 years?

Old Green or 44 correct me if I'm wrong on this, but this is the 100th meeting of the teams, but not a 100 year run. I understand that we met twice per season in some of the early days. Either way this is a GREAT rivalry that both teams look forward to every year. I'm sure the atmosphere will be charged and festive!! GOOOO, MEEEEEAN GREEEEEEN!!
:cheerl: :cheerl: :cheerl:

[YTBulldogs]

Regardless our record, we can right alot of season wrong here. I know the coaches will have Yoakum prepared. And, I sense the Dog's are ready to bite someone. Turnovers have killed us. This game, can't have a single one, and need to create a few.

[rojosgirl]

Seems like the turnover bug has run rampant this year -- high school, college and pros. You got to hang on to the ball!
Protect the rock and things go well. Oh, and

GO-MEAN-GREEN!

P4S there is a reception before the game for all past Gobblers and families.. and Green Bling - I think it's the 100th meeting but not 100 years in a row.. Reason I say that, the records start in 1911 - and that is 99 years....... Should be a great atmosphere for sure.. Lots of Cuero/Yoakum connections with Cuero folks working in Yoakum and vice-versa - as well as "mixed marriages" :)

EDIT - I found this on the www.cuerorecord.com site

Cuero High School and Yoakum High School will celebrate their 100th football contest on Friday, Oct. 15 at Gobbler Stadium. The District 28-3A game starts at 7:30 p.m.
In observance of the the historic event, there will be a reception for all ex-Gobbler and ex-Bulldog players and spouses at the CHS cafetorium and library from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. There will be bleachers at the game available for the more senior alumni returning.
Plans are underway to develop a traveling trophy to recognize the annual winner of this rivalry

I guess the closest thing we have to that these days is Mathis and/or Ingleside.

[YTBulldogs]

44, that's a neat idea in regards to a traveling trophy to the winner of this rivalry.

If this trophy is being purchased from outside funds, please include me as being a donor towards this trophy. Great idea. After a 100'th meeting, they deserve something for the big win.

Go Dogs!!!!

Go Dogs!!!! I would like the Alumni from both schools put in a good word for a traveling trophy.

[rojosgirl]

Maybe it can be discussed between the two at the reception Friday night in Cuero. :thinking:

[underware]

The trophy idea is a really good one. Wish someone had started that back in the day. I am going to the Cuero - Yoakum game. Hope we can make it a decent one. Congrats to both for the long time rivalry, competition and friendship. :o)

[bluecat]

Sounds like an excellent idea, wish it had been done in the mid 70"s. How is Trent Jackson?

[SpursFan]

Please keep Trent Jackson in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow! Just saw on FB he is having surgery tomorrow! Wish you the best TRENT!

GO MEAN GREEN!!!!!!!!

[ApachePride]

The GobbleDog trophy? Bullgobbler trophy? The Leather Cup? The DeWitt County Cup?

[AintNoSunshine]

Hey YTBulldog, where is your buddy txsportswriter at? Did he go back to school so that he could become the coach of the Bulldogs and lead them to the state championship with his son at quarterback? Sure havent heard much from him lately.

[YTBulldogs]

For sure best wishes to Trent. One of the best RB I've ever seen.

[rojosgirl]

Prayers and best wishes for Trent today. Here's hoping for a quick and complete recovery.

Funny!:)

[txsportswriter]

The 100th meeting between Cuero and Yoakum is the longest such rivalry game in Class 3A, but not the longest in the state. The Sherman-Dension game is the longest in the state at like 111 meetings. The Longview-Marshall contest has also been played over 100 times.

[rojosgirl]

Nice to know. That being said --

GO GOBBLERS!

:clap:

[CueroDad08]

Dogs better come over ready to hit.............These Gobblers are fired up unlike I have seen all year.

[headhunter]

I will call this "The Battle of the Claw and the Paw"

I have seen both teams this season multiple times.
If Cuero shows up with the intensity they have had from weeks 3 thru 5 I think we see a Gobbler victory. In Cuero, it is not if they have the talent, it's about how they use the talent and if the kid come ready to play and really take pride in their defense and making big hits.

If Yoakum is to win, we would have to see the Bulldogs play their best game yet, this team is still looking for answers to running a consistent offense. Yoakum can not turn the ball over and will have to sustain drives which will allow them to eat up some clock. If this happens, I think we may see a respectable and close game. Yoakum is always known to play the Gobblers tough.

[AintNoSunshine]

I just don't see the dogs keeping this one close. They just don't have much of an offense this year, which happens from time to time. Even tho Cuero stud running back is out (which I hope he is doing well and everything went okay yesterday) I still think Cuero puts up a lot of points on the dogs. Im going to go with Cuero 42 Yoakum 7. I know when these two teams get together it is always a fight, but Yoakum just doesn't have it this year. Lost too many good seniors last year. But good luck to both teams!

[Green Bling]

It's gonna be a great night in Gobblerland tonight!! These two teams are always up and ready for this meeting!! Can't wait for game time!!:D

[rojosgirl]

:iagree:

TO's has been the killer this year for Yoakum. They protect the rock here, they can win this one. Trust me, they remember last year's game at the Pound. And, to me---that was one of Cuero's best teams I've ever seen. This rivalry game, anything can happen.

Yoakum fan's, come early before the Cuero fan's take your seats.;)

Dog's about to bite someone who is taking them lightly I believe. I could never predict a blowout in this rivalry CD. Bold type all day long bud, Yoakum is PREPARED to shock the home folks over there.:eek:

[KingRob]

[KingRob]

How cool is that?!! I haven't been able to listen to the games that much due to my schedules being changed. A lot of folks were out sick. Well, guess who's sick now? ME! Oh well, at least I can stay up and listen to the MEAN GREEN play some football!

LET'S GO CUERO!!!

Hat's off Cuero. Thought them Dogs could make a game of it here.

Cuero Dad, that team you field in Cuero, YOU CAN TYPE IN CAPS ALL YOU WANT. Very impressive, and they appear in stride heading into the important part of the season.

Yes this has always been the part of the year when the Gobblers really start to peak. Let's keep the foot pressed all the way down now. Team looks like they are really starting to gell as they do this time of year as one unit.

[Snotbubbles]

Start of the year, I had Cuero as a great team with Trent. A good team without him. That's pretty obvious I guess, when you lose a caliber back like TJ.

But, with a more balanced attack, the developement of your QB, awesome receivers---Cuero is filling in that TJ hole nicely, and becoming a great team again. D needs to get a nasty attitude.
