This Week's Pick 'em...

The poll heads west this week and looks for Abilene Wylie vs. Snyder...

I have had a few folks emailing in their suggestions for the weekly pick'em... I am trying to honor as many as I can and try to keep new teams on it each week. If you know of a great matchup, please PM me.

As always, polls close on Fridays.

I have to say Wylie at least by 14

[CHSBaseball07]

Wylie by 10

[Ranger05]

wylie by 21 or more

[TheDOCTORdre]

Wylie by 17 only because Wylie gets a real big lead going into the 4th quarter and pulls some of their starters out and then Snyder racks up a few points in the 4th and will talk about how if they would played better starting in the 3rd quarter they could have won.

[SwtwtrMstngs04]

haha good point Dre

dude thats wrong haha, but in another sense...its right:D

[Stangster]

Wylie wins easily over Snyder, much to the dismay of Snyder's fans. Whatever the spin that is put on yet another loss, the fact will remain; Wylie wins, Snyder loses. End of story.

just my onion

[Black_Magic]

Boy, this could be really fun after the game. If snyder wins I wonder IF you guys will handle it. after all this smart mouthing that is.

If ya'll win, I will be the first one to congratulate Snyder publically on the board, and admit my comments were wrong until then I reserve the right to say what I want, but if ya'll lose please do us a favor and refrain from telling the story of the one that got away

[TheDOCTORdre]

No more like the one you keep on telling about ya'll getting beat down by Sweetwater

[Redman]

Merkel has a story of the one that got away???? It happened last friday night in Snyder, oh well heres my pick.

Wylie wins by 25. Too much team for Snyder to contain.

How well did Merkel contain them? Oh that's right, they didn't!!! Merkel has a story of the one that got away from them in the first quarter. It was the Merkel/Wylie game.

Magic show me one post where I talk about the one that got away from Sweetwater and I'll show you ten of yours for my one

And my advice until you put up, against Sweetwater....shut up

[lobo12]

black & gold i noticed how you mentioned that merkel didnt play wylie close but they could have beat yall just as easily as you beat them so maybe thats an indicator

[huarache18]

I'll say Wylie by 17..they are a good team

How well did Merkel contain them???Who Snyder?? Thats a good question. I have seen no stats or any write up on the game just a few comments from some of the Merkel fans and from the sounds of it, it was the one that got away.
The Wylie/Merkel game was never in Merkel's grasp so how can it be considered the one that got away. May be considered the one that was blown out??? No excuses were made if you will remember. Respect was paid to Wylie. My comment was not to aim any disrespect to Snyder so if you took it that way and aparently you did so be it. I d be worried more about Wylie this week cause if they blew Merkel out and Snyder just slippped by Merkel, might be along trip home.
Good luck to both teams.

[Black_Magic]

I heard that Merkel had like 6 turnovers vs Wylie. Is that true? Its to my understanding that it was not such a missmatch without the pitifull amount of turnovers

yah thats true...but merkel didnt just drop the ball or gave wylie the ball...wylie earned it by stripping the ball breakin up passes and makin some plays....what u are suppose to do to win a football game

[stateboundWR#5]

I'm sure wylie didnt cause every turnover, 6 is a big number. But on another hand, if I recall snyder only attempted 2 passes vs. merkel, and from what I saw they had a tough time stopping the run. Dont get me wrong they did play us a good game, but i dont think comparing the way wylie or snyder played merkel is a good comparison of the 2 teams. Wylie is no different than snyder, they put their pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us, and the best team will come out on top this friday!

I was wanting to know if Merkel turned it over 6 times. I have heard that they turned it over all but once of thier first half possesions. that probably had something to do with the lop sided score. I doubt that EVERY turnover was because Wylie caused it. there is such a thing as fumbling snaps, not tucking the ball away, muffing kicks.. those type of things are not caused.

You know, you cant predict score based on other teams beating people. Snyder beat Cooper, Cooper beat Sweetwater, Sweetwater beat Snyder, Snyder beat clyde by 40, Sweetwater beat clyde by 20, Sweetwater sliped past Andrews by 6, Snyder beat them by 16 I believe. Every game is different and some teams match up against others better.

[TheDOCTORdre]

You forgot one Sweetwater beat Lakeview, Lakeview beat Snyder

looks kinda like ur trying to make snyder look better even tho we beat yall, yall did better against teams we have both played, but like dre said...we did beat lakeview, and yall did lose to them...kinda nice how u forgot to add that in there...ur a slick one;)

[Black & Gold]

Good grief already. Yes, Sweetwater beat Snyder. We all know. He was simply making a point. Teams don't always match up the way you think they will. I agree that Black Magic gets carried away with some of his arguments but there are like 5 or 6 Sweetwater people that just keep this thing going with him. Let a dead dog lie.

[TheDOCTORdre]

Ya I guess your right I guess we kinda poke the dead man with a stick to many times but I cant just sit here without responding to his opinion

Do I have to mention every game in district 4-3As schedule to be able to make a point? kinda defensive on this one arnt ya? I didnt forget to mention Sweetwater beat Snyder but you still snap at the first thing you can think about. Im detecting a air of Arrogance from sweetwater at this point. they are feeling pretty good right now and are quick to jump in and speak when they were not so confident at several times this season. We will see how long it lasts.


In regards to Wylie vs Snyder... I noticed Wylie has a Trend this season that I hope continues.. Win , Win, Lose, Win, Win, Lose, Win, Win, ( now is it time for them to lose ?).I Hope it is a trend that continues.

[mustang04]

theres no arrogance...if u have read ANY of my other posts, you will see that i have alot of respect for snyder, anyone can tell u that ive said that time and time again...but it just seems like u keep stating facts that go back to how yall shoulda beat us....i have no bone to pick w/ anybody, but i still gotta support the mustangs, and when the playoffs come, ill go for yall and wylie cuz it will rep our district well, and then after regionals, i hope its a west texas team that goes to the show, i support our whole area, actually our whole state in football, but it all starts w/ the sweetwater mustangs first

[SwtwtrMstngs04]

How about we just get back to the main subject here and quit arguing over the past and look forward to tonight?

[stateboundWR#5]

snyder comes back after spotting wylie one of the best teams around 23 points to win 27-23, whats left to say!
