At some festival in Cuero yesterday, Sunday, one of my friends was there in line to get some food....he called and told me one of the cuero coaches was working the line with a Cuero legend who propelled Cuero to a State Title game with his strong leg in '85. A man asked him about how the Gobblers were not playing good football all the time in games. This coach made a very good comment that i had never thought of, He said that all the teams play their best game of the year and they are up for the #1 team each week and it is tough to play at that high level week in and week out.....This makes much sense........but then the coach made this next comment which is either mind boggling or Cuero is one heck of a team who hasnt played up to its potential yet.....He said realistically Cuero will not play any competition that is capable of beating them until the State Game....Could this be true or not......I hope this is not what the players are thinking....would hate for that attitude to bite them the way it did in '94 with a 20-20 tie that knocked Cuero out of the playoffs by a team that was not half as good as the gobblers and the gobblers had been ranked No.1 all year that year also.....Any thoughts....

There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. I think this coach is just very confident in the abilities of his football team.

Theres a chance they might have to play LH before the state game and im pretty sure LH has a chance of beating them

Everybody has their own opinion, but I guarantee this is not coming from the top. Our head coach prepares hard for every team and doesn't take any team for granted. But like it was said, EVERYONE gets "up" to play Cuero and it is hard for us to stay "up" week in and week out.

I also doubt the coaches would say something like this, but I hope its true. Come the 3rd round of the D2 play offs, Cuero will meet someone who CAN beat them...and thats Wimberley. WILL Wimberley beat them? Ask me in 5 weeks.

Coaches are people too and off the record they will say what they really think....I could see a coach saying this in confidence...just like coaches of teams who suck they know thy suck but there never going to let their team know they think this..same in this situation

I would have to know if that is what he said word for word, because not only does that sound arrogant, it puts all the pressure on the staff he works for because of they lose anytime before State in essence it is because of preperation by the coaches, because he himself is saying no one will be talented enough to beat them.
Just does not sound like something a coach would say in public. I hope it was not heard correctly.

Look out for Diboll, Gobblers. Gilbert Moye is back in action. He's tanned, rested and ready.
The Lumberjacks wield axes. This makes most Gobblers very nervous, I've noticed.
And Gilbert has an ax to grind after what happened to him over the past year.
Try to keep your composure.

At some sleepover at a maroonpunt's house yesterday, Sunday, one of my younger cousins was there in the kitchen to get some food....he called and told me maroonpunt was serving alcohol to jr. high kids and making passes at them. A man asked him why he was doing it and he said that no one will stop him, he can do what he wants. I hope this is not what he really thinks, he can't get away with that ....would hate for that attitude to take over his mind.... same thing happened to michael jackson and he doesn't have neverland anymore...
ya see, anyone can come up with anything...

Ive seen Cuero play twice this year and other top 3a teams!! IMO Cuero is a really good team they just didn't dominate in the games i saw for a coach to supposively say that!! IMO WOS has more size and overall team speed!! Just my opinion nobody start crying now!!!

Im trying so hard man.
I don't doubt WOS has more size and speed. Cuero is rather small compared to years past. I always compare the teams to the size of ours (the '04 state team)..we were huge. Now for speed, yes, Cuero has a lot of speed, but I also know WOS always has speed. So I'm not crying :) I still pick Cuero though :P

I understand your analysis... I saw WO-S last year and they were for sure equal on the speed factor... but they were pretty small... good ball-club and maybe they're bigger this year...
But one of those games you saw (bay city) we had two of our fastest guys on the sideline who were wr's/db's... those two would have given you a show against BC...

That 04 Cuero team was big but not bigger than the team they lost to in Bi-district in 03!! That would be the Wharton Tigers!! I was on that team and we were freakin huge!! Just not me!!!:(

I was in the stadium that night. Port Isabel was every bit as good as Cuero. Cuero might have been better on paper, but Finley totally got outcoached by Tony Villarreal. Tony V had his team ready to play. Nothing Cuero did was anything that the Tarpons hadn't already seen before. PI was a team that was a lot better than anyone in Cuero could have ever imagined. They saw PI as just another crappy valley team to run over.
I saw Port Isabel play many games that season. To say they weren't "Half as good" as Cuero is a gross mis-statement.
But, back to 2006. Hopefully, the Gobblers learned their lesson because they may meet up with a team that is a lot better than they think and steal their dream yet again.

Crabman...I think its safe to assume that Wimberley will be in the 3rd round...as safe as it is to assume Cuero will be as well. Of course, on any given night....we all know this is underlying ANY and ALL predictions.

I don't have any idea why Cuero is so confident. They've played one good team this year (Liberty Hill) and one decent team (LaVernia), and they had trouble with both. Everyone else on their schedule is absolutely bad.

Cuero is considered tough because of their speed (they BLEW AWAY everyone in track, and most of their track team is on the football team in key positions), they have size (as usual) and they have a winning tradition...they know how to get it done.
Cuero always plays tough. They know how to show up and play. I know thats how we did it. Yes, Cuero has a pretty easy road this year besides a few, but they are winning like they should be. To be honest with you, you can't win without being confident, although you can be over confident. They are good even though they haven't played an Outstanding team yet. Besides LH

At one of the catholic church's festival.
I used to frequent that church and I know which coach goes there, unless one of the new coaches goes there
I would only take the comment seriously if it was Reeve himself, or his son, but the coach that goes there is not a big part of the football team, I think he's junior high this year, I know he's not jv or 9

Size does NOT matter, I agree. We beat every team that was bigger than us. But size AND speed is a real threat...and Cuero has both.

You must have no understanding of how the La Vernia game went...they were playing without many of their good players. That is the true test of a good team, if they can win without their biggest names, and Cuero has done that.

And you have no understanding of the topic at hand. We all know Cuero is "a good team." We don't need you to tell us that.
This thread is about whether they're so far above everyone else in Regions III and IV that they "will not play any competition that is capable of beating them until the State Game." And based on how they've struggled to beat the only two decent teams on the schedule, that statement is pretty baseless.

OK, I tried....
How many Cuero games have you seen this year? So I guess if Cuero struggled to beat LH - Wimberley struggled to beat them as well? I am not saying we (meaning the team) are any better than the top teams of Reg I, II or III - just asking you a simple question... You don't know WHAT Cuero has struggled with - with 7 starters out at one time (not an excuse mind you, just trying to rationalize with this guy) numerous adjustments were being made, some successful, some not - but isn't that what the pre-season is all about??? - Yes, we have fallen short in the last 2 years - but being beat by last second field goals by two very good teams, does not exactly mean we "choked" as some say. Like I said at the beginning of this thread - a post was made with 3rd hand statements - I am not saying the poster was lying by any stretch of the imagination and I have no doubt a comment was made - just maybe the statement was taken out of context. Will Cuero make it to the finals? Who the heck knows, will Cuero win the game in Round 1? Again, who knows, I do know this, I'll be here to support the team win or lose and I won't be making excuses., which by the way, I saw plenty of the morning after that game in Seguin in 2004.
