    Default Know anybody that thinks Texas HS football is just a game?

    If so then educate those people by showing them these pics.

    Truth be told, it IS JUST A GAME!

    Just a game that some spend a lifetime trying to perfect but never come close.
    Just a game that unites 10’s of thousands of people in a community.
    Just a game that kids dream about playing on the highest stage from an early age.
    Just a game that those very kids spend countless hours in the sweltering heat and nearly killing themselves knowing they will likely never play passed the high school level.
    Just a game that brings a smile to their face and tears to their eyes when they finally get that scholarship offer. A scholarship that was paid for with their blood, sweat and tears.

    Yes, Texas High School Football is just a game.

    A game that we all love!

    I'm not going to search for photos of the Sweetwater players crying a week later, although I am tempted to.

    A volley has been launched from the dust bowl of the West. It's ok though. I've launched a few myself. It's all in good fun

    Nah, man. I've have nothing but respect for the Buckeye program. I found these pictures
    in this East Texas newspaper while looking for Gilmer video or audio of our game. I thought
    they were really well done and went so far as to share them with a mutual friend of you and
    me and they thought the same. It was then I decided to share them here where I thought a
    conversation might be started, silly me. Hell, I even removed Bobcat's silly game prediction
    from my sig before I posted the thread just to make sure it wasnt made part of the discussion.
    Geez

    I'm just glad he picked your prediction for his sig and not mine, bobcat. I'm pretty sure I said something similar, or worse, maybe.
