Cameron ranked what #1 or 2 ? Yeoman have the ranking and home field, but the Tigers ain't gonna bow down , this game will be a slobber knocker. Ready for Friday . Hopefully The Tigers get healthy had 4 out last night so both teams will be at full strength. This game is always a classic. Rockdale keeps the bell again this year!!

The communist.

[87 TIGER]

What do people from Rockdale think about the team this year?

IMO, we are not doing bad, I had a lot of questions about this team. We are very thin a lot of kids going both ways in key positions, that is probably the biggest weakness, and the ol and dl are very young and inexperienced with no depth. The running game was better than I expected , all in all so far , not too bad. But we have a long way to go that's for sure. A positive is it looks like they are playing with some confidence and a lot of fight, and the coaching staff is doing a great job. Love ya blue! Go Tigers! Beat Yeo

[87 TIGER]

The communist.

Looks like they lost to some TIGERS!!!

And I believe the line play on both sides of the ball will be key for Rockdale in this game. By design, we do not start anyone both ways. Yes, there is a lot of rotating and such, but we have outlasted our last two opponents(Connally & Lexington). Loth appears to be a good WR for Rockdale, and overall, they seem to look good at both the WR and RB position.

[Rabid Cougar]

Looks like they lost to some TIGERS!!!

Yes, The communist Tigers.

[Old Tiger]

Yes, The communist Tigers.Maroon is closer to red on the color spectrum...so therefore that makes yoe the commies.

[Rabid Cougar]

Maroon is closer to red on the color spectrum...so therefore that makes yoe the commies.

Not even close. Like neon is to gold. Which brings me to ...where has the yellow gone in rockdale colors?

[Old Tiger]

I'm thankful they are going away from that crappy yellow considering the colors are royal blue and old gold

I am glad you have a picture of it looking that way. I feel bad for the MANY Tiger fans who went their whole high school career and never saw it that way...... Not really.

[Rabid Cougar]

You're not talking about me then.

You must have been '77 because there was only twice in the '70's and twice in the '80's.

I am 2-1 in the Bell Series,'80 being the one loss.

I'm 2000s homey

[Rabid Cougar]

I'm 2000s homey

Then you are not that "old'... Tiger.

So 3 out of 10 for the 00's, still not even .500. You are one of the "few".

Only 1 out of 3 against the Cougars.

[87 TIGER]

Tigers and Yeo are 3-3the past 6 years, and your coach in Yeo land is 1-2, he needs to win just to be at .500, he could go down as the coach with the most losses to Rockdale by any other Cameron coach in history. Ready for a good game hope both sides stay injury free to continue on their path.

[Coach BS]

I have not seen the Tigers play this year, but I'm ready for a hard hitting exciting game. First time ever I'm going into this game with no knowledge of either team. I have read where is highly ranked so they must be for real, just beat n apparent good Lexington team, tigers have beat burnet I don't know if they are any good. On the Padilla polls looks like a #1 2a. Vs a #60. 3a, looking at enrollment right now they are both 2a . Looking at all this tells me it's gonna be a blow out Yoe by a lot. But I've been to a lot of these bell games throw it all out its a toss up every year. I will give my prediction later.

Here is some numbers on how close it has been... 62-25-2 ..Cameron's record vs Rockdale since 1911. As I said, whole classes have never seen the bell except at the Football game.:stirpot:

I was there during one of those droughts and we were a playoff team for those years.

Isnt that what I just said? I never said we won. I just said we were a pretty decent team. Cameron was better.

Keep it classy though.... Your response is exactly what I would expect richard

No worries.

[Coach BS]

Who cares who won in 1911,1940,1971 etc... What's up with this rivalry now? It's been very even, that's what I know and I also have heard that Cameron's coach may be on the hot seat if he doesn't win this game.

I litterally almost threw up when I saw this.

[buff4ever]

I picked Rockdale, but this is going to be one close game I bet.

I kind of doubt that one.

[87 TIGER]

I kind of doubt that one.

I doubt they would fire rhoads , but it seems like he has been applying a lot 2 years ago and last year.

[87 TIGER]

With the exception of last year being a 1 point win for the Tigers, these games over the past 6 years have not been close , Cameron winning by 13+ and Rockdale wining by 13+ on all other victories. Really almost blow outs on the other 5 victories either way.

In this case, a 1 point win might as well be a 50 point win. A loss is totally unacceptable.

[Dogman_1969]

Back TTT

[garciap77]

Rockdale by 10!

[Coach BS]

Ok making my pick! After finding out how Cameron ran up the score on Lexington with 12 seconds left running read option and going 50 yds to score when all they had to do was take a knee, or simply stand around or start celebrating and just letting the time run out. They actually hurried to get in another play! I'm all in Tigers! Tigers! Tigers!

[Rabid Cougar]

Hey! The only people allowed to hate on Cameron are Rockdale folks! All the rest of you foreigners stay out of it!

I am assuming you go this info from a Lexington fan. We were up 32-12 when backups and whatnot started to come in. Lexington was running the ball.....probably would have ran the clock out...then they decide to throw and scored a TD. We get the ball back and have backups in once again. These guys work just as hard in practice as anyone else out there and they deserved to get a few reps in. All we did was run the ball up the middle twice, and they did not tackle.

[Rabid Cougar]

12 out of 20 will be wrong!:stirpot:

[Coach BS]

Yoe 09, yes the work just as hard but honestly with 12 seconds left and a 12 pt lead line up and call victory formation. And I got this info from a Giddings fan and a Franklin coach.

[Coach BS]

12 out of 20 might be wrong. Back on subject ( my bad ) who wins it and why. What do either of these teams need to do to win?

[Yoe_09]

Yoe 09, yes the work just as hard but honestly with 12 seconds left and a 12 pt lead line up and call victory formation. And I got this info from a Giddings fan and a Franklin coach.

I understand your points.

Moving on....any predictions on this one?

[Yoe_09]

For those that were coming to Cameron for the 7th & 8th grade....it has been moved to the track.

[87 TIGER]

Rockdale 26 Cameron 21

[87 TIGER]

Actually whoever doesn't turn the ball over and doesn't have stupid penalties wins this game.

You definitely must have gotten this from an upset Lexington fan. We had our second string in the ball game, we had to run one more play, yes we could have taken a knee on that last play but...

Who on earth would've thought our second string QB, with the second string O-Line, and second string WR's, would have gone 51 yards up the middle, against Lexington's starting defense?

Coach Rhoades would never run up the score on anyone, and it looked as though he apologized to each and every one of the Lexington coaches while shaking hands after the game. He's one of the classiest guys you'll ever meet and would never try to embarass any opposing players in any way. Therefore, no, Cameron did not attempt to run up the score.

Cameron 39 Rockdale 24

SUB-VARSITY UPDATES

7th
Rockdale over Cameron - The difference here was the Rockdale RB. He seemed to be a step ahead of everyone else on the field. Not sure on the final score, but I believe Rockdale won by like 16.

8th
Cameron Yoe: 18
Rockdale: 0

The Cameron Yoe 8th grade looked good. Ball control hurt was an issue for both teams, but the field conditions were not very good(Caldwell). The RB #20 for Rockdale stood out to me.

Freshmen:
Cameron Yoe: 44
Rockdale: 8

JV
Cameron Yoe: 31
Rockdale: 0

[Old Tiger]

I will be at the game tonight if it is not raining.

FINAL

This was just a dominating performance by the Yoemen in this one, specifically on defensive side. We never let Rockdale get anything going in terms of momentum. The Yoemen forced quite a few turnovers, and Rockdale really had no running game to speak of the whole night.

[zebrablue2]

Congrats to the YOE and WOW!!!

[buff4ever]

Wow is right. Convincing is an under-statement.

[regaleagle]

Wonder if Refugio was watching?

[Yoe_09]

Wonder if Refugio was watching?

I am sure many would like to see that game, but it is not going to happen. 2A is already split and we are in DI and they are in DII. Even if it was not split, Refugio would end up going DII.

[Rabid Cougar]

12 out of 20 will be wrong!:stirpot:


15 were wrong!
