Why is Bridgeport 10-0?

[8HR]

I do not know much about Bridgeport so maybe some of you could help me out. In your opinion, what are the main reasons Bridgeport has been able to remain undefeated. Offense? Defense? Other? Do they play good team ball or do they have a few studs? Can they be beaten this year? How?

[Bullaholic]

Maybe this will give a little insight without being too biased:

Thanks Bullaholic.

[Budman007]

Bridgeport has a high scoring offense every year based primarily on throwing the ball. With a very big, physical, and athletic O-line, the Bulls can also play a smashmouth, running game with anyone this year (O-line averages over 275 lbs). They also play as a team and play very smart with very few mistakes. This year the Bulls also have a very good, quick defense which has often been their achilles heel in past years.

Another reason they're 10-0 is excellent senior leadership with 32 seniors on this team. As a class this group of seniors has been virtually unbeatable since pee wee football. The Bull coaches have also done a sterling job this year puttings kids in the right positions and preparing them very well week after week.

Just from my perspective as a dad of one of the Bulls.
Hope this helps.

Go Bulls!!!

[slpybear the bullfan]

Purely biased on my part... but I think Budman pretty much covered it...

A defense that is pretty salty
lost of seniors
terrific scouting and gameplanning this year

and IMHO, the most balanced and impressive offense we have ever fielded.

My Reader's Digest answer---they are GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

GO BULLS!

[frogbacker09]

bridgeport is a solid team with an outstanding offense. the defense is underrated but in my opinion just as good as the offense. a really good team as a whole.

[OldBison75]

Bridgeport is 10-0 because they have a flashy, high scoring offense, a stingy defense, and plenty of hungry seniors. BUT, the competition level is going to rise very quickly. They have beaten a few pretty good teams, and will see some as good and some better in the next few weeks. We'll see how good they are very soon. Right now, they look as good as anybody.

[westcoast54]

I'll tell you why they are good...and I've seen them up close and personnal. They block, tackle, and hustle. Oh yea...they have a good offense. They run the ball just as well as they throw it. Their defense may be the best they've ever had. Most of the time they have been able to score but couldn't stop people. Now they score and then stop you. They also don't make mistakes on special teams. They are just good. I believe if they get the right breaks, which even good teams have to get in the playoffs, they will make a strong run.

They have not played the Snyder Tigers yet



:D

[VERNONLION#1]

Bridgeport reminds me of a high school version of Texas Tech. With that being said they will have a tough road ahead but will make some noise. Good luck.

[sportsdude]

They are undefeated for all the reasons that the great teams win state titles - they have an offense that could be the most dangerous in Texas, a defense that would probably not allow more than 200 yards a game if the studs played all four quarters and that have great coaching.....in up and down years.
As I watched the Bulls whip Decatur Friday, I have a scratch piece of paper that I was writting strengths and weaknesses on since I think this team will be playing in Decatur. I ran out of room on my strength paper and my weakness chart had nothing on it. In fact, there were (IMHO) on two small miscues that kept it from being "a perfect game" and both were on special teams. And those two things were mishaps that rarely happen.

Of all the huge stats this team is producing, I think the most impressive is that Bridgeport has only been intercepted three times all year. And the last pick came in week 3 of the season. That kind of work my your QB and the offensive line for not letting him get flushed or rattled is just un'bull'ievable.

Don't you two know Grandpa said "Never count your chickens before they hatch".;) ;)

[Daddy D 11]

So for LH, it's looking like, West, Vernon, Sweetwater and then either Snyder/Bridgeport. Then probably either Celina or Arygle.

That's if we even get that far, but I'm just speculating:p :devil:


I don't like that Vernon has a bye and an extra week to prepare for us, but oh well, not like teams haven't had that in the past.

I do like that Vernon and Sweetwater are run oriented teams. Then sounds like we just have to prepare for Bridgeports wide open passing attack or Snyders smash mouth tactics. Then it's Celinas balanced attack.

That's a great idea to just prepare for Bridgeport's wide open passing attack. The Bulls did'nt run the ball any this season. ;)

Actually, this year it is Bridgeport's balanced offensive attack... vs. a one dimensional team.

And yeah, we are looking at each week one game at a time, but I would like to get a crack at LH down the road. Might as well face off against the best, and until LH is beat, they are the best.

[DaHop72]

If things work out right, I could meet Bullaholic and slpybear. Now that would be cool. :thumbsup:

We want to play the best too, nothing beats a really hyped up, intense, COLD saturday afternoon game in December. I love those better than Friday night games, if you are winning on Saturday afternoons, it means you're going places.

So what is your base offense? You say balanced, but what formations are you running out of.

[Budman007]

Bulls season stats: 241 yds rushing 258 yds passing avg per game. Yes, just go ahead and prepare for the passing attack Daddy D 11.

Bulls run out of multiple formations very similar to Texas Tech behind the best O-line in the state.

GO BULLS!!!

One reason i say we need to prepare for your passing is because that has always been a weaker spot on our team, we have always stopped the run. That will be no problem. And when people compare your offense to Texas Tech, of course I'm going to think "passing attack", considering that they lead the nation every year in passing and base their offense almost completely out of the spread/shotgun. So forgive me for making an incorrect assumption, I am deeply sorry:)

We scrimmaged them and I was impressed with their qb and line.
In the live quarter we beat them and held them scoreless but they were still working out the kinks. I liked their team. I predicted then that they would make a lot of noise. I think LH has the squad to beat them tho. Good running game keeps their squad off the field and does not allow them to get into a good rythm. IMHO of course.

We live off that:devil: Only problem is, when a team is having a really hard time stopping us, we tend to score too quickly, and then it becomes a barn-burner.

If you were impressed with their line, that means they are good. Being from Celina, you have seen your share of good offensive lines.

No apology necessary. Just having a little too much fun with the one-dimensional assumption. In past years you would be absolutely right on, but the Bulls have their most balanced offense in history this year.

Hope we get to play your Panthers and get to meet some of you Liberty Hill folks. It's always an honor to play the best.

Or, you can also try what Decatur did... the had a gameplan to wait and snap the ball with 1 or 2 seconds on the play clock. It did slow things down. But not the scoring... ;)

Yes, I think it would make for a great matchup... I would love to see the slot t, so I am hoping for a Llano victory.

But, lots and lots of football to play first.

[Daddy D 11]

Yes, if Llano wins. You will get a good look at a decent Slot-T, still not anywhere near ours, but that will be a good gauge as to what the "possible" Bridgeport verse LH matchup might look like.

Maybe we need a grammar lesson today, da bean? I used the past tense not the present or future tense of the term. I stated that "this group of Bridgeport Seniors HAS BEEN virtually unbeatable since pee wee football." I never stated that they are unbeatable. Now go to your corner!

Plenty of people have heard of us. We've had a few lean years, but it wasn't so long ago that we made it to the semi-finals, where it took Commerce--the team that went on to win state the following week--to take us down. Just because you and some others haven't heard of us, don't assume no one else has either.

Hopefully we'll be meeting each other up close and personal in a few weeks. :D

ETA: I just noticed you only joined the board last month, da bean. That's obviously the problem--you haven't been hanging around here long enough! ;)

Bridgeport is fielding one of the best teams they have ever had.
In years past they have had some really, really talented athletes. Jones and Doughetry(SP) are two that come to mind.
They have some really quality wins over Burk, Prosper, and Argyle.
I would argue that 6 of their wins came against so-so competition. Breckenridge (1-9), Mineral Wells (bottom feeder 4A), Iowa Park (1-9), WF Hirschi (0-10), Graham (3-7), and Decatur (4-6).
Bridgeport has a good solid defense, and they play the run very well. Teams that have a good QB can find holes in their pass defense.
Their offense is what will blow your mind though... they are very disciplined and balanced. They have a good "bread and butter" curl/hook route that they work to perfection. Their QB/WR timing is very good. They run the ball effectively, and that all starts up front.
For a team to beat Bridgeport, they are going to have to stop that offense. That's no easy task.

Very good post:clap: You acknowledge their lack of schedule, but still realize that they have a good offense and are a good team. I realize that there is nothing you can do, you play the teams that are in front of you. And that doesn't really make you a "bad" team, but it does come in to play when you finally face a true challenge. Gosh, I hope everything pans out so we can get us some Bridgeport Bulls:devil:

I like the post because many of these postes are not from/currently in Bridgeport... so it is nice to get some outside perspective.

Like many have stated... you only can play who is on the schedule.

Looking forward to Sunday, so we know who the Bulls will face...

[lion75]

Vernon lost by a touchdown to Wylie, but got blasted off the field by Bridgeport. I think Bridgeport needs some respect.

[ivchris]

Probably because they aren't in district 2

[OldBison75]

Bridgeport has to earn the respect by showing they are for real in the playoffs. It is one thing to win against several medicore teams and push in a few wins over better opponents. It is all together different to win in the playoffs. The difference in atmosphere is worth alot of momentum for every team. In the regular season, it's easy to get on a roll and keep winning, just as alot of teams get on a losing streak for several reasons. In the playoffs, every team has new life and knows that one win will earn back alot of the respect lost during a second or third place finish.

I think Bridgeport is a top tier team, but until they beat the China Spring or Liberty Hill type teams that have proven themselves over and over, they are not at the top. As for comparing scores with like opponents, that is a cheap way to raise your own hopes. Hell, by that theory, for the last couple of years the Aggies have not beat hardly anyone in the Big 12 and Texas has no more than one loss. But, the Aggies have beat Texas. Like opponents only means you coach made a schedule with a team that another team also played

OldBison....I don't disagree with your post, but you have to remember that there are only the existing polls, records, stats, like opponents, etc. etc. to use to make team evaluations and predictions prior to playing the games. The Bulls have beaten a few really respectable teams on their way to the 10-0 season. Several good coaches of our opponents have acknowledged in their newspapers that this is the best Bulls team they have ever faced and possibly one of the most prolific offenses they have ever seen. I realize nobody outside of Bridgeport will consider the Bulls as a serious title contender until we have beaten somebody they recognize as a deep playoff potential contender. I will continue to wave the Bulls flag as long and vigorously as I can at every opportunity and enjoy every minute of it. Hope everybody does the same for their teams---that is the essence of Texas high school football.

I have never noticed any great difference between the Bridgeport crowds home or away from last year or this year. Of course, we will pick up many more, especially if we continue deep into the playoffs. I hope a lot of fans who have never seen the Bulls play will have a chance to watch us this year. I think the Bulls play one of the most exciting brands of HS football around and are always exciting to watch. This town has always supported this team win or lose since 93' and frequently brings a larger away crowd than the home team.

We've always had a pretty good core group on the 3ADL----not that numerous, but pretty active. There are some new posters who have begun to take an interest in the Bulls, and we are happy about that. All teams experience an increased level of activity when they enter the playoffs, and I am sure that there are several of our 3ADL Bull posters who monitor a lot but who don't like to jump in and post until things get rolling. Nothing wrong with that---that's just human nature and we welcome anyone who wants to ride along with us as the Bulls make their run in the playoffs. Hope you will too, DKR#1.

[slpybear the bullfan]

Some of us are on here each and every year.

And what I really am enjoying is threads like this that are going several pages deep, created and largely carried by posters who are not even from Bridgeport.

I have enjoyed seeing the outsider perspective... it is the same circular arguments I think we always will see in HSFB.

>A team has a pretty decent year but has never won state or been to state.

>Those from that town think they are good.

>Those who have played them or watched them play think they are pretty good.

>Those who have never seen them think they are unproven.

Pretty much how it will always be... but I am enjoying the thread.

Some of us have actually been around here for a long, loooong time. (Points to member #) In fact, if memory serves I directed slpy here. But I only come out of the woodwork during football season, and I do a whole lot more lurking than posting.

As to other posters, as blaster mentioned up until early last summer there was a county BBS that had all levels and sports, and many of the posters here spent more time there. But irregardless, I don't think participation in an online forum is in any way indicative of team credibility or fan loyalty. As someone whose family has owned the same season tickets since somewhere in the late 1950s, I can assure that the Bridgeport fans are there in good seasons and bad.

Not one of our better efforts, jason. We didn't play well and Sweetwater had just the kind of fast legs that we didn't need to catch that week. Night and day diff in the Bulls between last season and this season.

If you can fit us in your busy social calendar come give us a look again this year---you won't be bored. if you guys play in stephenville (or close) again, and its a night that forney/copperas cove arent playing, then ill let you buy me some nachos....

to keep them out of the endzone.:thinking: :D

Who do you folks play this week really? Snyder? Celina? Cuero? The gamut must have been sweet.;)

[BullsFan]

Joke if you want to, but having a bye in week one is actually kind of hard. It's my first Friday at home in weeks, and I honestly don't know what to do with myself. Plus you get to read about everyone else's game but don't have one of your own to talk about. :(

It's a little lonely out here in BYEland...

I'm with you. Listening to these other games on the net is killing me. Looks like we are headed to Stephenville next saturday.

For a team to beat Bridgeport, they are going to have to stop that offense. That's no easy task.

The Bull offense will not be slowed down this week. If Llano had trouble with Glen Rose's passing game, they better fasten their seat belts this week.

Llano gave up 300 yards total offense against Glen Rose. 226 yards passing. The wind definitely hurt Glen Rose more since they were a one dimensional passing offense. The LH folks talked about trouble pitching the ball Friday night due to the wind, you should've seen Glen Rose trying to throw into that wind. Bridgeport can pick a defense apart with their passing game or with the best O-line in the state, they can line up and run down the throat of a defense.

So after reading on here the past couple weeks, I have gathered that you have the best O-Line, the best offense (and most balanced might i add), and you have a exceptionally disciplined and athletic defense. And the best work ethic and coaching staff in the state.

I think I saw Bridgeport play one time. In Sweetwater against Monahans??

I think they lost....but scored more TD's, they just didn't have a kicker.

Their RB, I think it was, that year was a HOSS!!!

I remember that, RM--all we had a chance to do was say, "Hi & Bye" because we were trying to get a bunch of these 3ADL characters to pose for a picture during halftime under the scoreboard. I intend to spend a little more time visiting with you and some of the other good folks somewhere along the way this season. Hope we have the chance somewhere, sometime.

That Bull RB was Colin Jones, now playing safety for TCU.

The pain of that Monahans game still lingers with all Bull fans, but I sure thought a lot of those Monahans players, coach, and fans at that game---class program all the way. Enjoyed meeting a few of the Sweetwater faithfull that night, also.

I have really thought long and hard about this for several days and I have come to the conclusion that they are 10-0 because nobody has beaten them yet. It just came to me this morning:D

And are you out of your mind Budman? You are the one that brought up that Bridgeport is a "perennial playoff team" and threw out some history about your 2001 team:thinking:

[whatdoiknow?]

Man, all this trash talk makes me nervous. The only thing I know for sure is the Bulls have to beat a team that just won a playoff game. I predict the Bulls will win but I really don't care by how much. Most playoff games are a foregone conclusion in the first week but after that, no one really knows. I have watched many playoff games over the years, not just the Bulls, and believe this is a team that has a shot at anyone they play. When it gets to this point in the season you have to have talent but you also need a break or two go your way. I have never seen a team win it all without catching a break.

Budman...The Bull linebackers are very good but D1? You have to know better than that. Both have good instincts, speed and hitting ability but they are not 6'3", 220lbs. Both can play at a level after high school, just not D1. That's only my opinion.

Sorry to have to inform one of our own, whatdoiknow. But, both of these young men have been contacted by D1 schools. They really are that good. I believe one is being recruited as a LB and one is being recruited as a safety.

Yea it looks like mine is going to end up at Baylor. He enjoyed the Baylor/Aggie game a little too much this weekend. Being there was hard to take for this old Aggie.

[whatdoiknow?]

From experience, I know what recruiting is like, especially at the D1 level. Lots of calls and correspondence but until there is an offer, it can be a lot of smoke and mirrors. I want to be perfectly clear, this is not a knock on either kid. If you are a D1 recruit, you will most likely be the best athlete on the field in nearly every game you play. Both of these kids are physically talented and I could actually see the junior being recruited as a safety but a D1 linebacker has to have size to be noticed. There just aren't many Dat Nugyns (sp) out there. If you could have two kids just like this every year, defensive coordinators would be in line for that job. They are that good but size will be a problem for them in recruiting.

[whatdoiknow?]

Budman....your son has great size and the frame of an offensive lineman. I have enjoyed watching him play the last couple of years and will enjoy watching him on the next level as well. The size thing is the point of my previous posts. If you can't pass the "eye test", that is having a college coach see you in person, your chances are slim. Wes Welker was undersized but had a phenominal high school career. Every school except Texas Tech passed on him. Leach wanted to pass on him also but as a favor to a friend, watched film and saw he always made plays. Leach said he finally ran out of reasons to not sign him and the rest is history.

What do you want us to do---talk about how terrible we are this year? This town is not like some I've seen--we don't sit on our hands in the stands and just pitty-pat our hands together when we make a TD. Both our team AND our fans come to play and we believe in letting the other guys know that by our example. We enjoy talking a little smack, but never to the point of serious or intentional disrespect for our opponents.

How small do you think Bridgeport is? A few older guys with time on their hands having fun and talking smack is not the whole town. As a whole, you will not find a group of people more respectful of opponents anywhere. Llano is playing in this game because they are good enough to get there. Bridgeport is undefeated because they were good enough to beat everyone (even some quality teams) on their schedule. We have a talented, senior laden team with a great coaching staff and are happy to have the opportunity to play Llano or anybody else. All of this crap about disrespecting the slot-t offense is silly. An earlier poster talked about the different options with that scheme but today, every offense offers multiple options, you just have to have the people to read and execute. While I am sure Llano has the personnel for their scheme, I know Bridgeport has the players to run their offense so let's see who gets the most stops in the game. For me, I have confidence in my hometown kids.

For me, I have confidence in my hometown kids.

Good post!!

A few older guys? Bullaholic, he must be referring to you and Sply? :p

Just for the record... Slpy hasn't cracked the big 4-0 yet.... and won't for a few years.

Dude, some of us have been here for MANY years, including years when yes, we did suck. And we still posted. In fact, I believe one of my game recaps many moons ago started out with the words "Well we just got spanked" or something to that effect. And there are not that many of us talking smack either, so I don't know where you get this idea that every single Bridgeport poster on this board is going around dissing all the other teams. And for the record, while our district had a couple of teams who are in a rebuilding phase, our entire district didn't suck, and we played some state-ranked teams in there too. Three of the teams we played (and beat) are still in the playoffs.

If you have a problem with someone, then take it up with that person--don't take it out on the whole danged town.

You know, I just saw that you only registered a few days ago. So either you are really really new, or you're someone's sockpuppet who doesn't have the nerve to say it under their own name. Either way, I can't believe I actually engaged.

Almost every Bridgeport poster has been on this board for years....heck, one of them is even an Administrator!! I have taken almost everything they have said as "tongue in cheek"...you, on the other hand, is the one who is getting all hot under the caller.

There are LOTS of people on here who don't have lots to say unless their team is in the race......and there are others, like myself, who seem to always find something to talk about.

This is what we do here....if you don't like it....well....

+1... ROFLMAO at the "sockpuppet" comment... that just struck me as funny!


Now, if you want to talk older, then maybe we should ask Bullsfan... :D

Hey, I'm so happy just to have a game to go to I'm open to almost anything--but remember we have a big meal at church on Sunday, and I have promised to help out the poor overwhelmed Hospitality chairwoman. (You may know her as "Mom".) I imagine I'll be making several pans of stuffing and possibly cooking a turkey on Saturday. What time are you wanting to leave?

ETA: If I appear to ignore any subsequent replies, it's because I'm taking this tired YOUNG body to bed.

Flustered is the wrong word. I think "pissy" would more desribe my frame of mind yesterday. It's not an easy thing to be a Bridgeport fan sometimes. As much as I love Budman's dedication and loyalty, there are times I could wish his...er...verbosity wasn't quite as strong as those other characteristics. I have a sneaky suspicion some of the animosity being aimed at Bridgeport earlier this week might have been fanned just a teensy bit. ;)

ETA: Thanks, Bullaholic. You are, as always, a gentleman in the nicest sense of the word. :)
