Are we playing weak teams in the playoffs?:rolleyes:

Always some hater fool that thinks a team only wins because they don't play anyone....

Again the fool must be shown....we played Robinson this year...are they still in the playoffs? We played PP and they made the 3rd round...in 2A we played all non-district 3A teams for several years, and most of those years the teams we played had 2-3 previous year 3A playoff teams included.....I do not know why we played 2 private schools this year, but I bet it is a tough negotiation to get some teams to play Celina as a 3A for the very reason that the odds are they will beat you up....Celina is not the greatest little school ever, but they do have quite a run going for about the last 10-11 years, and it looks like only SLC can match the run....

I bet it won't be too long until Celina has to schedule McKinney or Frisco 4A teams to get good non-district games in, but there is no guarantee those teams will play us....they have nothing to gain by beating a smaller school if they win, but if they lose it sets their kids' attitudes back a bit....kind of a no-win situation for bigger local schools to schedule Celina and take a chance....

We did our job...we won during the season and have beaten every team so far in the playoffs....tonight is a new challenge back in the Holey Stadium for the 1st time in several years, so we shall see.....the last time Celina was in Jerry's house was with the Mart steamrollers and some Cosby kid at the helm, and what a game that was.....hopefully tonight's game will be as good....

Did ya see in the paper where the 6 teams that played in Texas Stadium on the day SLC/Trinity played all split up about $400,000 in gate receipts and each school got about $60,000 for the one game? Not bad for an added chunk of change into the athletics till to bus some kids over to play a game.....

Aww now...don't go getting the feathers all ruffled. I've been to many a Celina game and have never rooted against them. I have plenty of friends that are former players and one very good friend who was an integral part of the 00 and 01 state championships. You can find his father in the radio booth on Friday nights as well. Just cuz I poke fun at Celina doesn't mean I'm hating on them for their success. People do the same thing to me because I went to Wylie. You deal with it...and keep on smiling cuz you're playing in December a lot more than they are! :)

[WildTexan]

we may have played as solid a Region2 playoff set of teams as anyone.....but I sure don't argue that region3 is sure a tough road to get to the semi's.....region4 is probably next toughest, then 2 then easy region1......of course I kinda say that toungue in cheek since the state champ this year is playin in Region2....

(hehe see how that works up the midland folks for next week if they can beat the lion)

So the best teams Celina has played are the teams Celina had a choice in playing? :thinking:

[WildTexan]

So?

those numbers are just some guy's guess at who is better than who....all I know is Robinson is still in so we did not dodge playin a good team, and we will never know if Robinson could have beaten Cuero or Wimberly or WOS or Giddings or whoever....

Celina only has control right now over 3 games a year, so for all the rest we will win all of them we can and if all those better teams fall in the playoff bracket and we only beat the one left standing, we are fine with that.....

Beating a lot of great teams only matters if you win the last game....and if you win the 16th game and played an easier schedule, you still get the trophy, so none of that matters all in all.....

[WOS87]

Absolutely...all of the above is true but speaking from experience, it's a lot tougher to be prepared against a top-notch team coming out of a relatively weak district and relatively lighter playoff bracket than to have battled through a few of those nailbiter games already.
But it's really the luck of the draw... like you said, Celina only gets a choice in 3 of their regular season games.
