Sounds like bad news for Bandera if they move up to 4A. They will be playing all the teams that they played before, but at a different level, which means a different type of competition. This year was a rebuilding year for them, but if they move up to 4A, next year will be an adjusting year for the Bulldogs. Not that I have anything against Bandera, but they need to do something about the condition of their field/stadium. They definitely will not be able to accomodate other 4A schools at their stadium for games. I know that they passed a bond not too long ago for improvements in the school district but I don't think they are doing any kind of improvements to the field. I could be wrong, but last I heard Bandera wasn't getting any improvements/additions any time soon. But if 4A is in the future...something needs to be done.

So glad you are so concerned about us. What is this, "same song...second verse"??? We did pass a bond, a new stadium is going to be built. Come to our schools and see all the construction happenening in each campus. Thanks for your concern, but you can sleep at night now... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

...oh yeah...you are wrong.

Hey YA YA,

No offense intended what-so-ever. Simply heard it yesterday from someone who should know. Odds are if ya'll do go 4A, we'd be in the same district. Just wondering if ya'll had decided to do something about the worst 3A facility in the Western Hemisphere.

Ok Ya Ya you can put your claws back in, I was not trying to start a fight, so don't go getting your panties all in a bunch. And if you read my response you will see where I said "last I heard..." I do not live in or anywhere near Bandera, so I would not know of the construction currently going on, so sorry if I don't keep up with what's going on in Bandera! I did not bash Bandera in anyway shape or form, I simply made a statement, which is true by the way, about the condition/size of Bandera's stadium.

....oh yeah....I have been sleeping just fine thanks! :rolleyes:

Alright here's the deal. Bandera is building a new stadium and it's going to be where the present practice field is at. It will seat 3000 people but everyone will be on the same side. I know it's stupid but hey, that's Bandera for you. They really are trying to improve the facilities but like one of my old coaches said the other day, they will probably run out of money pretty soon.

BulldogGrl64

11-05-2003, 03:13 PM

Well I don't know about the practice field to be the new location, but the best place for a new stadium would be the race track. Oh well "that's Bandera for you". :D

11-05-2003, 03:19 PM

As far as 930 for Bandera's enrollment, I think that that's pretty close. In early September they had 885 and they have been growing since then. They even announce the current enrollment everyday during announcements.

That's just it, Bandera ISD sold the race track.

BulldogGrl64

11-05-2003, 03:23 PM

realbulldog, why exactly did they sell it back? What was the reason behind it?

therealbulldogs

11-05-2003, 03:26 PM

They wouldn't approve a bond to do anything with it. Anytime they would come up with any plans for it they would just get shot down in the bond election. I'm just glad I have already graduated.

BulldogGrl64

11-05-2003, 03:33 PM

Bandera had the perfect location to build a nice stadium at the race track. Selling is was a big mistake for them, but oh well that's their loss. I guess a stadium at the practice field is better than nothing though. It will definitely be better than what they have right now, especially if they do go to 4A.

who cares about Football fields? It is all about the team that plays on that field! That is what made Bandera's State Championship so special. There were no standouts, just a retiring coach and alot of kids from a small town with heart! The loss of seniors at Key postions and a new coach will hurt any team

:D I agree yaya, it seems that bulldogvet85 and BulldogGrl64 have become quite the tag team. I would imagine that if people were constantly telling them that the house they lived in was really crappy compared to everyone else's they might get a little irritable or "get their panties in a wad". It gets old guys, give it a rest. Bandara will get their new stadium when they can. It may just be that their more interested in building new classrooms first.

Dear YaYa and the rest of the Bandera folks,
I had the best seats I've had at all the games
this year. I was on the top row, had a back rest,
on the 45yd line, my car was parked 30-40 ft behind the SW gate. Besides that the people in
Bandera were VERY KIND and Gracious. They may have their stadium then, in 2 yrs, if not I'll be back in the same seats.

I take this post personal and I agree with things that bulldoggrl64 and bulldogvet85 have said. I graduated from Bandera in 02, my mom works for the school district, and my little brother is in the 7th grade and plays football, cross country, basketball, track, and golf. Other schools that play at Bandera should be concerned about the facilities that another school has. I mean, who wants to play on a bad field? Who wants to go to a football game and use one of Buddy's portapotties? What team wants to dress in the hole in the wall visitor's locker room? The only good thing an opposing team can say about OUR stadium is that they have shade and we don't. When I played for Bandera I would of rather played somewhere else than at home and I know of plenty of others that agree with me.

The fight for a new stadium is yours. That dosent mean that I should come to your school from out of town and start running down what you have. Being from out of town, I dont know what your school districts prioritys are, much less your districts financial situation. As much as I love highschool football, I will choose class rooms over sports facilities any day. On the other hand, If you want a new stadium and need to convince those decision makers that can make it happen, get busy, in the end it is the people of your community that have the power to make that happen. In the mean time, be proud of what you have. I dont mind bring my lawn chairs if I need to and if I have to go bad enough, a porta potty will be just fine thank you! eek! eek!

Get'em yaya. I loved playing on our home field. The only thing i didn't like was the grass. As soon as it got wet, it started to stink. The stadium itself didn't bother me. I loved the whole atmosphere that was there.

bulldogvet85

11-06-2003, 10:35 AM

..........ok ya ya and OLDdawg........
to clear the air I never said anything negative about banderas field. I just commented on ya ya and her hostility over a question. but for those of us that have been there to play we can comment on it as well, in a respectful manner. I'm not going to come on here and say it's the crap hole of texas or anything. Cuz lets be real that aint right. But I will say that it isnt the best facility to play on. Before I ever went to paly at bandera I always heard good things about there program and some great athletes that came from there, like a great basketball team they had that I can remember three years ago. That team was awesome. Also all-state athletes coming out of there too like Andy blount, but when I saw the field and facility I was alittle dissapointed. I believe that the side lines are to small and that the field its self is just in bad shape if anything the just need to re-do the playing field itself. But I never came on here and said anything "SNOBBY" or "WESTERN....." crap. until now did I comment on the field. I have played there and know what its like, and if Bandera players are saying they are embarrassed of there own field and hate to play on it then something must be wrong. As long as this is a message board we will continue to discuss the bandera field as long as we want. If you dont like it dont reply or dont even read you can just ya ya else where.
Peace out!!!

Ok Ya Ya and olddawg, lets clear something up here.....I can understand that you would be frustrated with people "trash talking" about your field/stadium because that is your home turf and you have pride in your team and school, but the last time I checked I did not make any "snobby" or "extremely rude" remarks about your field. I was simply stating FACTS. You guys are taking things a little too personally here. I had some general questions and made some general statements. I in no way "trash talked" Bandera or the conditions of their playing facilities. And yes a "good stadium does not make a good team", but the upkeep and condition of your stadium does say a lot to people from the outside looking in whether you like it or not. No one ever said that Bandera had anything to prove or anything to apologize for. But you have to remember that as long as this is a PUBLIC message board, people are going to talk about anything and everything that they want to and YES that means that they can continue to talk about Bandera's field/stadium if they so desire. So there is no need for hostility or comments about going and calling Dr. Schultz to discuss this matter in length with her. If you don't like what someone has to say about Bandera, then just ignore it or scroll down....it's that simple, really it is!

How weak is that? You don't deserve anything new you spoiled brat. I played on that field in the late 80's and early 90's. You play Football for the love of the game, not the surface you are stepping on! That was not the best team Bandera ever had! If Chris Hensley was never hurt back in 92 in Hondo, that team would have beat Devine in Uvalde and gone very deep. He was a great QB as well as a BB ball player.

Their were alot of Bandera teams that were better than the 03 team. The difference maker was Coach Williamson. Those players were average and went into week Division II. Let's face it Brett Hicks was no Hensley, Woodland or Mazurek.

his recievers made him good well i think he had to throw the ball to them. last time i checked as well it took three diffrent groups to complete a pass as well. 1. the linemen blocking 2. the QB making a read and throwing the ball 3. the recievers make a catch. if you say his recievers made him good then I think thats what you would call TEAM WORK !!!!! the only thing I'll give you is that he wasnt very mobile. If hicks own players hated him then thats there problem and then so much for working together. sounds like an ego problem to me then.

I know all you are speaking of, and I have respect for them all as Bulldog players. I know Scott and Billy...Scott was an awesome kicker and he could run like he**. Don't know what your beef is with all that, but the 2002 team did end up as State Champs. That's not to say we haven't had some really awesome teams in the past. I know the team you speak of and yes, they had the potential, but it didn't happen. I went to every one of those games, too. And as far as the "gift" from Rice, we won that fair and square, it might not have been pretty, but it counted just the same. Don't take your frustrations of not winning a State title out of the reigning Champs. Heep was awesome for sure, the whole team had to do their part, no way it would have happened without each and every one on that field. And as far as Hicks is concerned, I think you can catch him this weekend playing QB for Sam Houston....as a Freshman.... :D

I think they will be better next year. i must say for being a former bulldog you sure are slamming the younger guys that are coming from bandera. Why you going to hate on people from bandera when you are from there. the O line didnt go unnoticed. I believe they were good, they had to have been in order for hicks to be able to throw. but thats football most lines dont get as much glory as the skilled postions do. but thats not to say they werent good or were over looked

to clear the air I never said anything negative about banderas field. I just commented on ya ya and her hostility over a question. but for those of us that have been there to play we can comment on it as well, in a respectful manner. I'm not going to come on here and say it's the crap hole of texas or anything. Cuz lets be real that aint right. But I will say that it isnt the best facility to play on. Before I ever went to paly at bandera I always heard good things about there program and some great athletes that came from there, like a great basketball team they had that I can remember three years ago. That team was awesome. Also all-state athletes coming out of there too like Andy blount, but when I saw the field and facility I was alittle dissapointed. I believe that the side lines are to small and that the field its self is just in bad shape if anything the just need to re-do the playing field itself. But I never came on here and said anything "SNOBBY" or "WESTERN....." crap. until now did I comment on the field. I have played there and know what its like, and if Bandera players are saying they are embarrassed of there own field and hate to play on it then something must be wrong. As long as this is a message board we will continue to discuss the bandera field as long as we want. If you dont like it dont reply or dont even read you can just ya ya else where.
Peace out!!![/QUOTE

I know being a vet you like to play with animals and all, but keep you and the goat out of this discussion. That is why I moved to Kerrville my soph year. People like you who know nothing about football!... hey what do you know there is a comedian..... Not much of a funny one but you keep trying kid youll get funny some day. so what you are saying is that you moved to kerrville because people in bandera dont know anything about football? thats what I'm getting from your post there. those of you from kerrville who played or came in contact with this guy, I feel sorry for you eek! eek! but I'm not gonna argue with you about wether or not I know football compared to you cuz you are the type that thinks you are right no matter what.

Ok Ya Ya and olddawg, lets clear something up here.....I can understand that you would be frustrated with people "trash talking" about your field/stadium because that is your home turf and you have pride in your team and school, but the last time I checked I did not make any "snobby" or "extremely rude" remarks about your field. I was simply stating FACTS. You guys are taking things a little too personally here. I had some general questions and made some general statements. I in no way "trash talked" Bandera or the conditions of their playing facilities. And yes a "good stadium does not make a good team", but the upkeep and condition of your stadium does say a lot to people from the outside looking in whether you like it or not. No one ever said that Bandera had anything to prove or anything to apologize for. But you have to remember that as long as this is a PUBLIC message board, people are going to talk about anything and everything that they want to and YES that means that they can continue to talk about Bandera's field/stadium if they so desire. So there is no need for hostility or comments about going and calling Dr. Schultz to discuss this matter in length with her. If you don't like what someone has to say about Bandera, then just ignore it or scroll down....it's that simple, really it is!Its not my home turf, Burnet is my home turf. And you havent seen hostility yet.

Ya Ya if you took it as rude I'll apologize on Mine and her behalf. my intention wasnt to slam the facility and from what I gather from bulldoggrl I dont think it was either. So if thats how you took it I'm sorry and I had no intent of being rude about the condition of the field I was just simply discussing it. Olddawg hmmmmm that one statement you made. "You havent seen hostility yet." I'd becarful about what you say and how you say. not trying to start anything with you I'm just letting you know.

First of all vetgirl, I am not your younger so don't be calling me son or boy. Second, If all you know is the 2002 season of Bandera you are a closet fan who was only there thru the good. And you YO YO, Who said I coached in Kerrville brain? I graduated from Tivy and I am the assistant coach of the Helix Highlanders in San Diego California. I love my Texas roots and keep up with my Texas Football. I will return to Texas and coach when the benefits and pay gets better. Don't get me wrong, pay is nothing when you love the game but, a little money never hurts.

I know a little more than the 2002 team and or season so relax. the only reason you are coaching in San diego is cause you and got the talent or ability to coach in your own state. why would you go all the way to the west coast just to coach. Come on now get real BOY. looks like for being a coach you sure do have some anger issues. SON i suggest that you just forget this whole site now, cuz there aint anything smart that comes out of your mouth besdies your smartalic comments. PEACE OUT KID!!!! :cool:

I am not on here to talk trash but I can't help myself sometimes. Yeah, alot of my kids that live in Scripps Ranch had their homes burned to the ground. I love the weather here but I miss the Texas kids hearts. Kids here are very different. The speak their minds and that should not happen in High School Football.

As far as the whole stadium thing, I want what's best for my little brother. Why would you be calling me a spoiled brat, cause I want my little brother to have the best. I'm sorry I care about my family.

If he tells you something you can go to the bank with it. But apparently he has a very low tollerance for rude people. And yes, in my eyes you and bulldoggirl64 have carried this Bandera statiom thing to the point of rudeness. You say you have appoligized so let that be it and lets move on. I have enjoyed reading your post concerning football and hope to enjoy more discussion on that subject in days to come. But when I see you making the kind of remarks like the ones you guys have continued to make concerning the subject of Bandera, your standing with me and many others drops considerbly. And as far as the coments you have made about Old Timer olddawggreen, dont kid yourself, hes not so old that he couldnt take you by the ear and march you to the wood shed. Hes handled himself very well over the years. Hes as fair as anyone I know, but he wont back up from trouble when some one else needs help or is being treated unfairley. Now peace be with you and lets move on.

Well, for what it is worth I think this thread has gone down some pretty stupid paths and needs to end.

I have lived in Bandera for 20 years. I have been involved with the kids of Bandera in all forms of athletics for all of that time.

My son played for the State team last year and it was phenominal to say the least. I have watched all of the kids mentioned above and the ones with class are either proud of the State team or just stay quite.

Was last years team the best ever? I have no idea. I saw fault with that team and every team before them. But in the end the ring is all that really matters.

That team last year had one goal and one dream. They waited their turn and they produced. Were they lucky? Heck yes they were. You don't ever get all the perfect bounces in a game. But more importantly they were all the good that a small town could produce.

These kids worked hard, kept their noses clean, and represented Bandera like a true Champion. You saw them do flashy silly things after big hits or big plays. They carried themselves with dignity. They were proud and happy to be where they were. They prayed as team and laughed at the little things like autographs. These kids had the ride of their life and they earned that Championship for everyone in Bandera INCLUDING the previous player's.

As for the field, that is home and that is where we grew up. If you were embarrassed as to the quality of the field then you are taking yourself way too serious. It's just a game played on grass. I love my seats and and everything about Friday night football in Bandera. The new field will be nice but the memories are better.

I grew up in Port Isabel where we had a nice field in town. It is now tore down and the new field will never have the uniqueness that the old one did. Bandera's will have that same feeling.

First of all, come on Whitus. The 2000 team was the best ever? LOL!! In your dreams. Ya'll had a couple, COUPLE really good players that carried ya'll. Our team last year, and this goes to sharpie with his comment about Heep being the whole team, was a complete team. If i remember right, we had 7 all-staters. Heep was dang good, and i loved blocking for him. I also loved catching passes from Hicks, one of the best QB's Bandera has had. And we had something called layalty and teamwork. The 2002 3A Division II State Champions team was the best TEAM. All you have to do is look at the end accomplishments.
