Columbus Vs. Cuero

[tango]

Friday night @ El Campo. Who do you have?

[44INAROW]

1st and foremost, I love my Gobblers. That being said... It depends on which Gobbler team show up... 😜🔮I'm betting the winning Gobblers show up and play The Cardinals a tough game and come out with a win.. At least that's how I hope it ends up.

It's been another weird season in district 26AAA.

This will be a short game with two running teams facing off. #20 for Cuero is going to be hard for the Cardinal defense to stop but Cuero needs to bring in some balance in their offense with an effective passing game. They showed some talent last night and if they build on that against Columbus they could force the Cards out of their game plan. This will be a very good game. I think Cuero wins by 7+.

[TarponFanInNorthTexas]

I may go check this one out. Y'all Cuero folks don't mind a Tarpon sittin' with y'all do you?

[Scoop27]

Cardinals will be riding high after the Overtime win over El Campo

[speedbump]

Columbus started a bit slowly with a new coach and system and when they got rolling injuries to key players slowed them a bit in the middle of district play. They have a bunch of talent on that team and they are healthy again and confident in what they do. They are and will be the better team Friday night. Cards win by ten or more.

[iFootball]

Not that history really matters in the playoffs but I know these two teams have played quite a few games against each other. Does anyone know the win/loss history for Cuero vs Columbus?

[Pudlugger]

Cuero was running the wildcat against LG with some success. I expect the Cards will see some of that this week. #20 was very impressive breaking tackles for big yards after first contact. He must have averaged 8 yards per carry. After a while our defense adjusted and got the stops but hats off to #20 Hopkins, the young man is a player. It will take more from the Cuero offense then going to their premier running back 20+ times though and I suspect they will be working on their pass routes and play action stuff for Columbus. I did recall a screen pass that worked pretty well against us and expect that they will go to that at the right moment. If the Cuero D can put together three or four stops and avoid turnovers they can win this game.

I'm hoping to see the gobblers play like they did the first 5 games of the season. Everyone contributed in the wins .

The Gobblers have some good receivers. I noted several excellent receptions Friday night. Hopefully Cuero will mix up the play calling more this week. I think if you keep the Cards D guessing more you will have more success.

Cuero by 10

[gobbla4life]

It's playoff time in Texas , win or go home! Cuero has been up and down this season , but have the capability to play at a high level. I'm not much for talking smack , but it's Cuero and we love our Gobblers. Even though it doesn't always work out , we always expect to win , no matter who the opponent is.

[Pudlugger]

Interesting footnote for what it's worth, Coach V never was able to get a win in the several games LG had with Cuero in his 10 year tenure at La Grange. Just sayin'

[buff4ever]

I think this game goes to Cuero, in the closest outcome of the 25 vs 26 round. I have district 25 winning 3 games to one. Bellville being the only district 26 win.

Bellville is D25. Don't you mean D26 winning 3? I agree btw.

who does the winner of Cuero vs Columbus play? Is it the winner of Wimberly/La Vernia or winner of Navarro/SA Sam Houston?

According to the UIL bracket it shows winner of Cuero/Columbus playing winner of Navarro/SA Sam Houston.
Anybody have an explanation?

Interesting. For DII, The UIL bracket shows Columbus to have finished as D25 Winner and Wharton as D25 Runner Up. The UIL bracket is linked to scores/statistics by MaxPreps, whose website shows Wharton as finishing ahead of Columbus. MaxPreps seems like it should be correct since Wharton beat Columbus head to head (similarly Yoakum finished ahead of Cuero for same reason). Texasfootball.com's bracket shows Wharton as D25W but has Yoakum as D26R and Cuero as D26W. :confused:

[gobbla4life]

I don't care who finished where , but there should be an opponent in El Campo Texas for the Gobblers to play Friday night! Everyone has a perfect record 0-0 , but it's win or go home. The Gobblers will be ready , good luck D26 !

GO MEAN GREEN !!

[Scoop27]

Need to give the Cardinals some credit and a chance. They beat an El Campo team (even though injury riddled) to make the playoffs. They didn't play well against Sealy but regrouped

[Pudlugger]

Winner of Yoakum - Wharton plays winner of La Vernia - Wimberley. They are lower bracket while Columbus - Cuero are upper bracket.

[Manso/V8]

I hope this doesn't inflame all the D26 homers.........Padilla picks Columbus by 6 over Cuero.
I think he is being a bit conservative.

Y'all need to get over he fact that D25 swept D26 last year and focus on this week's games.

[gobbla4life]

Personally , I think it will be a good game. Cuero has some young kids and a young QB , not making excuses , but when we are hitting on all cylinders we are hard to stop. Ask Pud , Hook , or YT , those are the two teams that beat us pretty handily. LG is the real deal , and the score may not have shown it , but we left the red zone three times in that game with no points ( credit to LG D) , Yoakum is a big rival and outplayed us , but in that game as well , we had two turnover in the red zone , once again credit Youakums D ! All I'm saying is Cuero is very capable of winning this game.

[YTBulldogs]

GU, what's that "Willy Wonka Game Resolution Machine" you use, showing for scores in the D26 vs. D25 games? I think it's been more accurate then Harris and Padilla. Us and LG are playing on grass, while the Gob's and GZ are on field turf, if you input that info.

[Pudlugger]

I agree Cuero is definitely in this game from the git go. Columbus will have a salty D as well, so the Gobblers will need to come up with a better play calling strategy inside the 20. Giving #20 the ball over the middle worked well until the Leps put in their goal line stand defense(basically subing the dt and noseguard with 280 lb #70 Ledwick and 260lb #63 Schindler). Going wide after a faint to the middle broke the gls on the one for Cuero. Try a play action fake up the middle and hit the TE in the corner of the endzone instead of three pound and grounds over the guards.

[Manso/V8]

D25 is king based on last year, a team in the D1 finals, and a team in the D2 semis.
D26 hss the opportunity to take the crown this week, but until then, D25 is king of R4.

[Pudlugger]

If you take a shot at the King you better kill the king.:D

[gobbla4life]

YT , Pud , you guys crack me up , it's all in good fun. I hope in realignment , we would all get to stay together. Either way , let's Go Gobblers , and let's go D26 !

The Lone Star Football Network Game Simulator is obviously out of whack this week :dispntd:
La Grange 21 El Campo 0
Bellville 8 Gonzales 0
Columbus 63 Cuero 58
Wharton 80 Yoakum 66

Good thing these games are settled on the field. Stupid simulator :tongue:

No one cares about last year and it's about winning State Championship, making long runs is like kissing your sister. If you know what I mean, The ultimate goal.

[gobbla4life]

Any suggestions on , good restaurants to eat at before the game ? Maybe have a cold one!

[stxfootball]

Try Greek Brothers They are pretty good

[The Bull #40]

I'll be making the trip friday night to support the Cardinals and D25 before turning around saturday to head to Brenham to watch the BRAHMAS take care of the Apaches! I am excited to see if Columbus can pull off the upset. I hope Caldwell is in full form, he is fun to watch and the Cardinals aren't the same team without him. How is Cuero's offense this year? Any stud RBs like they had with Trent Jackson before his incidents?

[1stnurseryman]

We have a pretty good back runs with lots of power not any quit in him.. How ia cardinals QB I think that is what we're most vulnerable at that being a mobile QB who can pull the ball down and run.

[Pudlugger]

I agree! It will be packed though. Get there early.

#20 D'Anthony Hopkins is a very good rb and very strong runner. He will break tackles and get 6-9 yards per carry. They will run inside tackles with him all night. Cuero's Qb can throw the ball too, so if Columbus' mlbs don't stay home they can be burned over the middle.

[gobbla4life]

Thanks for the info , are there any bar and grills around ? Or is Greek Brothers the beat stop?

[Pudlugger]

There's a great bar in the Greek Brothers restaurant. Should be busy Saturday with the game and all.

[gobbla4life]

Hey Pud , we play there Friday. Is it kid friendly ?

[1stnurseryman]

Yes it's kid friendky

[Pudlugger]

Hey Pud , we play there Friday. Is it kid friendly ?

Yes it is a very loud family restaurant with that Greek ethnic flavor. The food is delicious too.

[stxfootball]

Yea it's a good family restaurant if I remember right the bar and restaurant are separated. When you walk in its the bar and then you take a left to the restaurant. I never had anything there that wasn't good.

[GU_81]

The Gobblers have some good receivers. I noted several excellent receptions Friday night. Hopefully Cuero will mix up the play calling more this week. I think if you keep the Cards D guessing more you will have more success.

I totally agree Pud. Cuero's running game nicely sets up their passing game for success. The balance is what keeps the opposing defense on their heels. I expect to see more of a mixup this week now that playoff mode is on.

[GobblersUnite]

This should be a heck of game with alot of speed on the field. I predict a couple of new faces make some plays for the Gobbs this Friday.

[gobbla4life]

I also think we will see some fresh faces making some big plays ! Gonna be a good one , Columbus always has talent and speed ! Come on Friday ...

[Manso/V8]

I agree that Columbus is a lot faster than Cuero.

[Pudlugger]

Is Columbus healthy now or is Caldwell still out? He is their fastest player.

[GU_81]

I agree that Columbus is a lot faster than Cuero.

Who are you agreeing with? I didn't see this stated anywhere.

[YTBulldogs]

Who are you agreeing with? I didn't see this stated anywhere.

He's just stirring things up. He has posted this on every D25 vs. D26 game thread.

GU__ 81, they have lots of speed , there's no doudt that. But more speed , I don't know , we will find out tomorrow ! We just need to take care of business tomorrow night.

I haven't posted the speed thing on every D25 vs D26 thread, just the Wharton-Yoakum thread, and this one.

Both Wharton and Columbus had better overall team speed than Bellville this year.
I have only noticed that a couple of times in the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

The Caldwell kid from Columbus is a real burner, I heard his was out with an injury earlier this season, but I think he is back.

You can have all the speed in the world, but execution, consistency, and limiting mistakes is more important.
Relying on a few star athletes won't get you very far in the playoffs, it is the overall team play that makes the difference.

Totally agree with this statement. Best teams win in playoffs most times. Early rounds, could be exception. But, don't see that here. Gob's by two, 30-28.

Note: Columbus heading in right direction. We had no issue with their speed. But, we had issue holding the rock.

That is crazy , you think your team gonna win by 10 or more and you losing by 42 and game anit over yet. Just never know, right.

After finally having time to read through the threads from this week, it looks like YOU are the one that keeps bringing up the D25/D26 pissing contest. Of course, I realize you were just baiting some of the guys and they didn't disappoint, they played along 😛🙈
Just an observation.


I'm seriously thinking about loading up and going to watch the Gonzales vs Bellville game tomorrow.

Good Luck and safe travels all....

Well, they kind of deserved the baiting since from the beginning of last year, there has been a lot of "we are wonderful" talk from the D26'ers.

C'mon and watch the game tomorrow, should be a good one!

Hey....I voted for Cuero to win this one. About 2 minutes ago, haha. But really, I kinda felt like they might have a good showing tonite....just not this good. What a great way for the Gobblers to start the playoffs.
