What 3A State Title showdown would draw the largest live and televison crowd?

[ctown81]

For a moment forget about the two the divisions and different regions. I know things change throughout the season, but based on what we know now as far as who's coming back and who's moved down a classification. What matchup do you think would draw the biggest crowds and have the most viewership statewide on televison?

[Old Tiger]

Obviously Burnet and Brownwood in their day

[Emerson1]

Stephenville v. Celina

[ctown81]

Old Timger that's true but I'm talking about this season.

[ctown81]

Stephenville v. Celina

I'm with you on that one.

[BwdLion73]

I think if it was billed as Brownwoods 7 S.C. against Celina 7 1/4 S.C. it would draw a lot of interest.:1popcorn:

[Tejastrue]

Stephenville v. Celina

Brownwood vs. either of these.

[LIONS#1]

Stephenville vs La Marque......:wave:

[Matthew328]

1983 Daingerfield vs. 1992 Southlake Carroll

[ctown81]

Stephenville vs La Marque......:wave:

I may be in the minority on this one but I think this could be the least viewed match up. I believe that 3a fans outstide the two towns could care less about 2 recent 4a teams who are now playing for the 3a state title and for the casual viewer there is no story there. I believe that 3a would possibly be seen as weak and uninteresting if this happens.

[bigwood33]

Celina or Brownwood v Cuero

[Ville-D]

Hillsboro vs West

If they made it that far it would be quite a story... :crazy:

[toddg]

1983 Daingerfield vs. 1992 Southlake Carroll
would be a great game!!!

[MGAR]

1983 Daingerfield vs. 1992 Southlake Carroll

DF would roll...

The cigar man would have his defense ready!!

well henderson vs chapel hill drew 20,000 for easily the most watched 3a game in 2010 lol. We made 50,000 off it

It's official. I now have internet street cred. Lion70 chimed in on one of my threads.

As for your post, since east texas doesn't exist in the eyes of the bigger media outlets here in Tx, I doubt too many people outside east texas tuned in.

Henderson divided a total of $ 102,613 between Chapel Hill

Game officials $ 4,751

Seeing your school win its first ever State Championship $ Priceless

Note: The 3A Division1 State Championship made more money than ALL of the State Championship games with the exception of the 5A Division 1 State contest Euless Trinty vs Pearland! Not bad

[ctown81]

20,000 plus is a lot but as far as the television audience, I don't think it would have been an overwhelming amount of casual fans watching the game.

I guarantee that if you have Stephenville vs Celina like an earlier post suggested, there would be atleast 30,000 to see that game. The hype machine at FSSW would love that one.

oh I agree but our internet feed took some hits as well lol. Dallas vs houston always would attract a big audience.

What Brownwood people don't realize is no one cares about them anymore. They are just an every day 3A team now.

[Ville-D]

how do 3a schools sell 2k+ student tickets?

Elemetry, Jr High, HS, Extended Family, etc. (hook'em) :)

[toddg]

how do 3a schools sell 2k+ student tickets?

the entire school district including elementary, intermediate, junior high, and high school could easily surpass 2k

[regaleagle]

Spring Hill vs. Hillsboro.

[83Indian]

well henderson vs chapel hill drew 20,000 for easily the most watched 3a game in 2010 lol. We made 50,000 off it

Alvarado vs. Chapel Hill drew almost 23,000. A great honor for both teams.

[waterboy]

Spring Hill vs. Hillsboro.
I believe that WOULD draw a lot of interest, especially seeing as neither team is expected to make the playoffs and have had a lot of trouble getting wins lately.

I think in terms of a TV audience a DFW team vs. a Houston team would be the biggest draw simply because they're population centers. East Texas doesn't draw as much interest from the rest of the state because of the lack of population centers, even though they've won 75% of the 3A state titles in the last four seasons.:p

[Lion70]

I think It includes all grades 900 in high school plus jr high elementry.

[RoyceTTU]

What Brownwood people don't realize is no one cares about them anymore. They are just an every day 3A team now.

Really? and I think I saw you at Brownwood vs Bridgeport 2010,,,Brownwood vs. Stephenville 2011,,,Brownwood vs Carthage 2010 (possibly, can't remember for sure)


so are you classifying yourself as "no one" because your constant trolling seems that way at times.

[RoyceTTU]

Brownwood vs Stephenville (state recognized rivalry game in the biggest venue - huge crowd - plus both towns population is considerably bigger than most markets)

^^^^ Either of these two vs. Celina

[BwdLion73]

I agree with the DFW vs Houston draw but I think if Carthage(reigning kings of 3A,not saying we're better than everyone but we won 3 out of 4 years so save the hate mail. I would say this about any other team) steamrolled everyone this season and stood at 15-0 and Stephenville(new big boys on the block who are the preseason favorite) did the same, IF the media put some effort into that it could be a huge showdown that would draw non 3A fans to want to attend or watch this game. Now with no media hype it would not garner much interest.

[ctown81]

Has Celina and Sealy ever played each other for a SC?

[Gonzo]

Venus vs Devine

[Eagle 1]

I think Brownwood/Stephenville would draw the largest crowd.
I certainly would be there.

[Bullaholic]

Stevenville vs Carthage would be interesting East vs West battle...

Brownwood vs Celina needs to happen some season...

Alvarado vs Gilmer might be good...

[SintonFan]

Sinton vs Forney would draw the second largest crowd!

[NastySlot]

laugh but I would say any team from the Valley vs anyone.............people might knock the quality of football from down there but the passion of the communities is great and those schools and towns would jump on the bandwagon if a valley school made it to state.

Refugio vs SLC....:D

[sTxforlife]

No, would be a pretty good game tho

[Rabid Cougar]

LaVega Vs China Spring at Baylor Stadium. 25,000 in Region III Finals in 2007.

how do 3a schools sell 2k+ student tickets?
Wimberley sold that many this year. You got all the schools all the way down plus family and kids from all over, Wimberleys total crowd was at least as much as Argyl fans and they were only 30 minutes away and Wimberley was 4 1/2 hours! We had people I had not seen in 10 years at that game, bad economy too!

Also, I am so sick of reading about Brownwood and Stephenville I could throw up......just saying.

[Saggy Aggie]

the entire school district including elementary, intermediate, junior high, and high school could easily surpass 2kmakes sense. I was just thinking hs #s for some reason. *facepalm*

[Emerson1]

I still buy student tickets for Forney games cause I'm cheap.

[Ville-D]

Jealous much? :ack!:

[Z-RO]

Stephenville v. Celina

Agreed

[Lion70]

Jealous much? :ack!:

No as of lately neither has won anything so you should stop acting like your the champ. See 2010 Chapel hill don't assume anything.

[Saggy Aggie]

Devine had a huge crowd last year. If they made it to state they'd bring as many as any 3a school has

[jason]

ditto...
in my opinion, brownwood people care more about the rivalry than stephenville people - probably because their glory days were 30+ years ago and the brownwood/stephenville rivalry is the only thing they have to help them hold relevance in the 3a world...

maybe that would change if they were in the same district, or even playing each other, again, but who knows...just my opinion though...

[Ville-D]
