No, lostaussie, it get's kind of gets old matching wits with someone that has none. It's like getting into a boxing match with a guy that doesn't have any arms. I'm having more fun playing Yahtzee with my 6 yr old. It's more of a challenge. Ya'll just keep going for it on 4th and .... whatever from your own..... whatever and don't worry about us.

Hey Stang Red,

I wasn't planning on coming to the pregame meal, but if Hop is buying then I may show. Even if he doesn't buy, Lytle Land is a easy place to walk the ticket. Me and MYHO do it all the time. Only been caught once, and I don't think they'll remember us, cause MYHO has put on a few, and I grew a beard.:D :D :D

Some of us have other things going in our lives besides sit around talking smack. I don't remember anybody saying that Wylie was going to hold you to 14 points. I'm not the best at talking smack, but I can give you my opinions and I have at least seen both teams play. I was there last Sat. I only have one game to judge your coaching staff, but after talking to people in the stands and watch four quaters of football, I don't think that Gilmer has played anyone who can do the things to you that Wylie can do. I was also a coach for 18 years and coach 2 years in East Tx. so I am very familiar with the East Tx style of football. Wylie has frustrated many teams like Gilmer with their balance and discipline style of football. What makes it even more effective is because they run so many different formations and have the ability to play many different styles, you really don't know which style to prepare for. On paper this is a mismatch, and if Trailor can make game adjustments and the kids can execute those adjustments then Wylie could be in some trouble. But if Wylie starts frustrating Gilmer and they are not able to adjust Wylie has a chance to steal one that they probably shouldn't win. History shows that they've done it before and with less talent and speed than this team has.

Just my opinion "MATE", so have at it:D

Blah, Blah, Blah! Snyder was also very confident in 04 with their "West Texas" style of football, and what happened?

We will see how it unfolds on Saturday. Nice lecture though. :thumbsup:

It wasn't a lecture, it was just an opinion. Snyder???? I guess you think everybody in West Texas plays like Snyder, well the only similiarity between Syder and Wylie is that they both can only put 11 on the field. Other than that there's not a whole lot to compare.

Like I said it was just an opinion, but I'm one of the few on hear who can say that they've seen both teams play this year. Most of you are homers and you should be, but your basing your opinion having only seen one dawg in the fight, "No Pun Intended. Your comparison to Snyder would be like me comparing you guys to the undefeated and mighty Royce City team we played in the semi finals in '04 and nobody gave Wylie a chance. It was 28-0 at the half and RC had one first down, the game was no contest. But there's no comparison. Different Coaches and different philosophies. This should be a very good game. Good Luck :D

Just a point about adjustments. "Bus" Johnson has run for almost as many yards in the playoffs (200+ in each game) as he did in the regular season. Gilmer threw the ball 7 times against LE and 11 times against Mabank where they usually are around 20-25 times. Adjustments to weather, opposing team strengths and weaknesses, are a playoff necessity and if a team does not do it they usually do not play this deep into the playoffs. Gilmer has a strong running game and passing game with multiple formations and options out of each.

I won't argue with that. It's nice to have a RB like Johnson when the weather is bad. With the exception of Roosevelt, neither teams has played an opponent like they will see this week. As a Wylie fan I have a lot of faith in Coach Sandifer to give us a chance to win even when we are outmanned. His track record is second to none in these types of games.

That is what I understand and another reason why I wouldn't miss this game if at all possible. Last weeks game was very entertaining with McNeil's magic and Gilmer's mistakes. Without 3 turnovers and a give up safety, Gilmer would have hung 55-60 on DR. I cannot wait.

"IF" is the biggest player in any game. Example #1 - Week Zero, "IF" the officials don't call the only holding call of the game and call back a 38 yard TD pass, Wylie defeats 4A #6 ranked Brownwood. Example #2 - Week 2, "IF" our center doesn't snap it over the QB head in the shotgun with 2:00 minutes to go on 1st and goal from the seven yardline, we would have beaten #7 ranked Graham and we would be undefeated.

When this game over I asure you there won't be any excuses from me. I can live with it one way or the other. I just want both teams to play well and for nobody to get hurt. "IF" is a always the word people use to make excuses or justify something. I'm sure the Dallas Roos. fans are "IF"ing that game also. They had twice as many penalties than Gilmer. The fact is the game was poorly officiated for both sides and the best team won, no "IF" "ANDS" or "BUTS".

[Runnin Panther]

Wow what a great game this should be. I wish I could see it, but alas I must go watch my Panthers pound Ptown.

Not sure which team I want to win but I will say I hope you guys beat and wear down each other emotionally and physically before my poor little ol panthers have to face you next week.

Best of luck to both teams and may the best (make that worst:D ) team win. Ado until next week…. :p

You read a whole lot into "not missing the game IF at all possible." But since you did, IF Gilmer was not the superior team to DR, they would not have survived all of the mistakes. Bad calls went both ways at the Gilmer/DR game, but anyone who was there will tell you the IP and IB in the back calls were legitimate on DR and hurt them. If the calls only go one way this week, it will be a shame. Maybe they will keep the flags in their pocket and the the boys play.

When you said Gilmer would have hung 55-60 on DR without the turnovers that just another way of saying "IF". And I agree with you, I hope the officials let both teams play and don't become the focal point of this game like they were the DR game. The worse officiated game I've ever seen. But from a neutral fan, I do think that both teams got a lot of sorry calls where the flag should have just stayed in their pockets.

You folks may not give a lot of creedence to that Tatum score, however, they are attempting to three-peat this year as State Champions. 3A Div. II in 2005, 2A Div. I in 2006, and still going this year. They barely missed 3A ball in the last classification and will be back next year. They were the focus for Gilmer up until the game, and Liberty Eylau has been ever since. Not many three-peaters to talk about.

No doubt that back to back is quite an accomplishment and a three peat is even more impressive but last year and this year they are 2A. I sat right behind about 15 Tatum football players at the DR game. Good looking athletes with lots of speed I'm sure, but size wise, not very big. That game had to be a total mismatch. I give you LE. They are always a good test for anybody, but your schedule as a whole is not very stout. Heck, even the to Middle age and Older gentleman setting beside me at the game even admitted that you really don't play anybody until the playoffs and that your district was very weak. These guys have been around Gilmer for awhile, so I assume they know what they're talking about. I'm sure that you have a hard time getting any good teams to play you in non-district because of your success and talent, believe it or not Wylie has the same problem. Take a look at how far we have had to go to play some non district games and how many 4A schools we have to play.

Yeah, we are in that boat too. And yes, our district is weak. What it does for our program, though, is give non-starters a lot of playing time against other schools and not just against teammates. Our unbeaten streak in district play goes back to 2000 or 2001 and spans three reallignments bringing different schools into the mix. Tatum is 2A, but is a very good program. They probably will win the 2A Championship.

I'll AMEN that, our coach is always talking about the value of getting as many kids in the game as possible, and the affect is has on the program as a whole.

They will not be sold at the game. We sold them last night at a booster club funtion, and they will be sold at school today. We save about 75 of them to be shot out of an "air cannon" or what ever you want to call it, into the stands. So I guess you'll have to sit on the Wylie side if you want one.:D

You are right, we do have a hard time scheduling teams in the pre-season. Good ball controling teams like Atlanta can get 4A schools in our area to play them, but they do not want to play a team than can beat them by 30+. I am not saying we would beat them by that much, but that we are capable of making them look bad. Getting beat by a smaller classification isn't the best way to keep your job. We have played a team from Nevada and a team from LA. the past two years, Atlanta has been good and after that it is whoever we can get. Yes our district is week. Unless they put us with Atlanta, LE, Pleasant Grove, Pittsburg and a few others it will remain that way. But I don't have hope of that District happening since it is mostly composed of the I-30 corridor teams with the exception of Pittsburg which is about 17 miles north of Gilmer. So we get what we get. We view the first half of each game as that "A GAME". The second half is viewed as practice and experience for 2nd and 3rd teams. The good thing is that our underclassmen are well prepared the next year.

I wish the Bulldogs luck, I just wish the Buckeyes more luck.

[RattlerDude]

when do these guys play?

[8HR]

I am surprised that nobody has posted anything about the cream puff schedule that Gilmer has put all of these points offensively and given up so few defensively. According to Massey...

Team Record Score RankClassification
Richwood (6-5) 39-0 3a in Louisiana
Tatum (12-1) 71-28 #2 in 2a
Daingerfield (9-2) 35-12 #9 in 2a

NOTICE: Three 1-9 records, a 2-8, a 3-7, a 5-6. Look at the rankings of teams they blew out...Either 2a, from Louisiana, or just a bad team. Okay I'll give you Spring Hill. Decent teams have played Gilmer close. This will definitely be the toughest test Gilmer has faced all year with #7 ranked Wylie tomorrow. After looking at the facts...How many agree that Gilmer is overrated and Wylie plays Liberty Hill next week...I DO...Wylie 28 Gilmer 21.

[sundevil]

Yes, Our weak ass schedule was all everyone talked about in 2004 when we won Div II. Hopefully they will be talkin about our week schedule of 2007 and the Div I Championship we win........with any luck at all.

If you like this topic you should go to Smoaky, they have archived threads for the past 6 or 7 years......that way you can get in on every possible angle to down us.


We will be the weak team in Black running through our little old Gilmer Buckeye sign at the beginning of the game, since players have voted against any helmet or tunnel to run through. Thanks for playing us.
;)

[8HR]

Did I strike a nerve??? I'm just stating the facts... I call it like I see it just as you do... Chill out!!!

[sundevil]

Maybe you did......I took some blue pill I found and feel much better now. Just tired of the old stand by slander of the bucks.......I know, not on this site.

We like to think of it as weeks of live practice on Friday followed by the playoffs. Hopefully we perform up to par.

I disagree, and you will too. Y'all are gonna get rolled up. Your kids know it. They've watched film. Three minutes into the game, your fans will know it too. Hit a nerve?? Just stating facts man.

[TOPS1435]

8HR,

As you discovered, you touched a nerve.

We have been ragged ad nausium on other sites about our weak schedule and it has gone on for several years. Numerous folks love to say our high scores is because of the weak teams we schedule.

As you well know, we have no control over where UIL places us. In fact, they have put us in three different districts over the past 6 years. Where you know you will play Snyder and Sweetwater every year, we do not have that history. In the past six years we have been Dist 13, 16, and 15-3A, but the one constant is that we have won the district championship for the past 7 years with no district loss.

Traylor has tried to schedule harder teams. After losing to Canton two years ago, he took Coach Kinne's challenge and scheduled Canton. But Kinne left and went to Baylor and his replacement did not want to play us, so we played a team from Nevada and then one from Louisiana.

We scheduled ATlanta who won state in 2003 for the past two years, but they have not been as strong---but four or five of their losses are to 4A teams.

Traylor is willing. We have played on Thursday, on Saturday, one year we only had three home games as he sought stronger opponents on neutral ground. The results have been the same----we won all the regular season and then are criticized for a weak schedule.

By the way, we only lost to Liberty-Eylau 39-36 last year. Do you remember that team?

That's up to you! Bottom line is that some of Gilmer posters are saying that we will be rolled! I don't think so! Your team may be good, but the your fans should not assume that because you have put tons of points on teams in your district, that you will do the same to teams in the play-offs! Same thing happen last year to you guys for talking big!:D :D :D

You are really stuck on the whole "weak district" kick aren't ya? Use that as your motivation. And bringing up last year is an odd turn, but I'll allow it. Face it. You guys had yet another great season. But it's gonna be Gilmer/LH for the whole shooting match! Write it down.

Why not schdule with Celina, Everman, Highland Park, I'm sure there are more power teams near you! Hey some of the 4A teams we play in our area do not seem to care if we put 30+ or if they put 30+ on us they all do it to get better either way! Good luck tomorrow!

We have a "home n home" starting next year with Royse City if that will get everyone off our case. As for 4A, Kilgore (agreed to a scrimmage), Nacogdoches (declined), Texas High (declined), Sulphur Springs (declined), and Whitehouse (declined). What are we supposed to do? Play Longview (5A)?

[markp08]

Gilmer Schedule.....yes it's pretty weak. Playing 2A teams in the pre-district? So what if they're in the playoffs...they are 2A teams. Wylie plays 4A teams and 3A teams and all but one were in the playoffs in either classification until last week. The 4A team that was in until losing by 3 to Aledo last week, we beat by 30 points. The one 4A team we lost to in WEEK 0 by only 7 points went on to beat the #1 4A team in the state at that time a few weeks later.

Gilmer's district had teams that Gilmer rolled pretty good. I think 3 or 4 of the 5 district teams they played had records like 0-9, 1-8, 3-6 and 3-6 or something real similar to that...according to the schedules on 3adownlow.

Gilmer...DRoosevelt may have been pretty good, but I think Wylie is going to give you the toughest test yet. We're seasoned and conditioned to be ready to play games just like this. Think back to Royse City in '04 in the semis...i think they were undefeated or had one loss and we rolled them pretty good on our way to state. Not saying that it's going to happen this time, but if you think you're going to score 40 on Wylie by half, your either drunk or from the back woods of East Texas.

Game on! See you at Birdville or should I say Dawgville!

[Buckeye80]

Well we beat Richwood, La who later beat Talleulah Academy who had a RB named Johnny Sanders who was the step-brother of a guy who claimed to be Barry Sanders illegitimate third child.

When we scheduled the two game series against Daingerfield and Tatum, they were both still 3A teams. Damn I'm getting tired of this conversation! But you're a little newbie, so I'll help you learn. The remainder of the non-district schedule is 3A. No we don't play 4A teams who knocked out the team that beat the '97 State Champ in the 2nd round, but we don't have to. We don't have to whip our schedule out of our pants to show everybody how big it is. We just win.
And despite our sissy schedule year in and out, we have the exact same number of state championships as you do. After this game we will be going for our second one, and you will be playing with a different colored ball.
I'm going to sleep. Your incessant rambling is making me tired.

[Who-dun-it!!?]

I had the privledge to meet a nice young man from Wylie tonight at Wal-Mart after the Snyder/Vernon Game. He was seriously injured earlier in the year during a game. I have my doubts that Wylie can get past Gilmer, but if the team has heart like this young man I know they can do it. He informed me that his football carreer is over, but he takes everything one day at a time, and has great faith in God. Prayers from my family go out to this young man, and his family. He placed a burden on my heart to add him to my personal prayer list, and I hope God blesses this young man for the rest of his life.

[Snyder_TigerFan]

Arguring Gilmer's weak schedule sounds so reminiscent. IMO, it will take Wylie's best game of the season to beat Gilmer. They are not a Wimberley, a Frenship, a Brownwood, they are better. A 28-14 showing against Andrews is not a good precursor to this game. I'm rooting for Wylie, but I just don't see it. I will be ready for my crow if Wylie proves me wrong. Prove me wrong Wylie and win!

[Aesculus gilmus]

Longview is virtually certain to move down to 4A. So I think Gilmer vs Longview should be scheduled and could become a helluva rivalry.

At least half the people who live in Gilmer ISD commute to Longview to work and it would cause many interesting conversations around the water cooler.

It would certainly be more competitive than the one we had with the other 4A Longview school, Pine Tree. Pine Tree, though, does have the distinction of being the last team to beat Gilmer at Buckeye Stadium--in 2002.

I think for economic reasons schools should strive to find worthy opponents as nearby as possible. Granted, it's often not possible in the wide-open stretches of West Texas.

I hope the Bulldogs play the Buckeyes a good game and that last week was just a great game for Andrews and an off week for Wylie. That being said, like Stang Red has posted Wylie needs to come out and play 4 quarters because the won't be able to have a bad quarter against Gilmer.

[WylieBulldog87]

The one thing I have noticed without reading many of the post here, is that Gilmer puts up a lot of points and has blown out many of their opponents. I think they are going to give the Bulldogs a scare today. I will be at the game on the sidelines with the Bulldogs. Wylie does seem to play to its talent and they always seem to surprise teams. I think Wylie is building the kind of dominance that SLC has built over the years. Its a system of great talant. They haven't dominated like SLC yet, but I believe this is the first year of many more to come. So all you Gilmer fans, I have you can appreciate that on your way home today.

GO BULLDOGS...

Yeah, we we're talking to him before the sweetwater game and he told us how he prayed to be able to walk again after his injury and he prayed and stood up and began walking again....the doctor's told him it would be half a year or so (can't remember how long he said but it was a long time) before he could walk again but he proved them wrong....it only took 2 or 3 weeks!!

At least I don't have to resort to comparing our schedule to a part of the male anatomy to make myself feel better about it.

But....good try at posting something witty.

Besides that I've never said that Gilmer wasn't a fantastic team. I go back to what I posted in a different thread...Can Gilmer blow out Wylie? Maybe. Can Gilmer beat Wylie? Sure, everyone says they are supposed to. Can Wylie if it plays great defense upset Gilmer? Absolutely.

We'll see tonight at 6:00. Time for talk is over!
