Will Snyder "lay an egg" ????

[nobogey72]

I certainly wouldn't think so, but does anyone think that they would go to that extreme? If Brownwood beats us, coupled with Big Spring beating Snyder by more than 16, then Wylie is out. Rumors of this are supposedly being seen on some Facebook posts. I know there is not much love lost, but I still can't picture that happening. Nobody has THAT much lack of class.

[Bosqueville]

Ask any Waco La Vega fan. 2 years ago they were ranked in the top 10 and sat their starters for the last game and lost causing Robinson to miss the playoffs. No love loss there!

[Old LB]

One would hope that that does not happen, I tend to have more faith in humankind than that. Stranger things have happened though, I have read the same types of rumors but surely it is just that.

[Bullaholic]

I'm going to say "urban legend" on this one---ain't happening. Any team, including Snyder, wants to enter the playoffs on as much of a high as they can---and convincing wins do that better than anything. IMO, no coach in his right mind would want to play with a thing like this just before the playoffs.

[RoyceTTU]

I just can't see this happening. There is nothing to gain other than a pure jab to groin. They won't have to face Wylie or BS in the playoffs anyways. Now if they could find a way to keep brownwood out of the playoffs, i'm sure they would jump all over that, or even a way to make brownwood go D1, i'm sure they would do that also. Otherwise, I don't think it will happen.

While I agree with most of your post, the LV coach did do something very similar, although I think his intent had more to do with what division his team would be in, rather than eliminating another team. Was the LV coach not in his "right mind"? :thinking:

[Sweetwater Red]

Seriously?! Do you folks think Snyder would actually tank a game
for the sole purpose of preventing Wylie from making the playoff? :doh:

No I don't, as I clearly stated in the post. But, stranger things have happened.

BTW- The LaVega egg that was laid a couple of years ago that was mentioned above was a little different. That loss enabled LaVega to go DII which they thought would be an easier road than DI that particular year. Not very admirable, but there was at least a reason.

[Troybuilt]

If Wylie would have won, they would not have to worry about that.

[hollywood]

I can see maybe resting some starters to preserve their health to be better prepared for the playoffs. :nerd:

[Troybuilt]

Big Spring could blow Snyder out anyway. Snyder is coming off of a huge win and set up for a down week. It might even be a good coaching move to rest your top players to ensure no injuries before going to the playoffs. It's high school football to most but unfortunately a business for others.

Was the LV thing ever proven or were there any admissions? If not--IMO, it remains urban legend and fan conjecture and can rise to nothing more than strong speculation.

[Black & Gold]

BM told me all they ever talk about is how they can ruin Wylie's season! They don't even talk about other teams...they are already game planning for Wylie next year.

Of course it wasn't....intent is difficult to prove. I just meant that they didn't enter the playoffs with a convincing win as you had mentioned, and they didn't play their starters. I'm sure a lot of factors went into that decision.

You would think!!!! However, a 42-0 lead would also be a good time to do this, but didn't happen. 49-3 lead with 5 minutes to go would have been a good time, but didn't happen either.

O.k.--I could see not playing the starters if the coach was afraid of injuries, and like you said, no one knows the actual intent of this coach. I would hope it was the injury worry. Again, I think it is better to enter the playoffs on a roll after a big win, and strictly IMO, I think most coaches would try to do that.

Ok I guess Im lost as to how synder losing to big spring will keep wylie from playoffs. If wylie loses to brownwood then they will have two losses as will big spring but wylie wins in head to head. right?

sniderville will also have two loses so the tiebreaker comes in effect.. I am not certain how all of that would work out

[RoyceTTU]

This sounds like a fitting time for a Mike Leach quote.


On running up the score against Nebraska in 2004 (the final as 70-10):
"The interesting thing about football is that football is the only sport where you quit playing when you get a lead. In golf, you keep trying to score well when you’re ahead.

"In basketball, they don’t quit shooting when they’re ahead. In hockey, they don’t quit shooting when they’re ahead. In boxing, you don’t quit punching when you’re ahead. But in football, somehow magically, you’re supposed to quit playing when you’re ahead. Well, I don’t subscribe to that. I don’t do it like that. And you know, the truth of the matter is, Nebraska never has either."

there would be 3 way tie for 2nd all 3 having 2 losses. Our district goes to positive point differential as tie breaker. So, BS would have to beat Snyder by >16

With the points is there any chance of sniderville getting eliminated or having to go to a flip of the coin?

Several interesting subplots here... BS is very talented and has had an open week to prepare for Snyder. Their backs are to the wall and have to win convincingly at home to a hated long time foe to get in. Snyder just came off their biggest win (reg season) in a long time and will likely be emotionally drained after last week. This game could easily go BS's way... but not by 16. BS by 7.

lol, yep that 61-20 scared me a little. :) :) Calm down my friend, go back and reread my post. I am just not seeing how a snider loss makes any difference to Wylie. Just asking questions to clarify what I am reading. geeez

WRONG!! If Wylie beats Brownwood then they would both have 1 loss. Big Spring beats Snyder they would both have 2 losses and Big Spring advances due to head to head which is 1st tie breaker.

You know what would really be funny???? Just say Snyder lets up a little and BS wins. Let's say Brownwood is up by 50 on Wylie and they hear that Snyder is laying an egg, and plays an inelligible player for a couple of plays and then turns theirselves in causing a forfeit. WOW!!!!!!!! guess who stays home.
