That's right the Eagles are for real. THey lost to a very good Columbus team because of a couple of missed extra points. THe Steen kid is the real deal and I've seen both Yoakum and Cuero look for the Eagles to win district a real tuff district.

Luling, don't get all rowdy just yet, you didn't prove much in beating Marion. The way they've been playing, the School of the Blind could have beat them. Don't get to high on yourselves just yet.

Attaway to have that faith for your team marion.

What is Marion lacking this year? I figured that yall would be an okay team this year.

[marion_man]

I graduated in 2002 as part of what I thought was a good football team and now Marion has freefalled to nothing. Most of the damage was done by a huge graduating class that carried just about all of the talent, heart, and determination the team had. All that's left of the team is a quarterback and a bunch of misfits. All the enthusiasm about football in the players has left and it's gonna take a lot to get it back. I love them all but there is just nothing left from the previous team. And if you think this is just a rebuilding year, guess again. I've seen the talent that's coming up and it's only gonna get worse. Watch out below, because the Bulldogs are free falling!

I have to agree with marion_man. I am also a graduate from last years football team, and i am very disapointed in their play. I was at the Luling game, and i hve to give them their props. They seem like a well coached team, with a great offense. Their rb is a haas. But Marion didnt put up a fight. No excuses, but Marion is very poorly coached. They dont have a single one that knows how to handle these kids. This team needs some leadership, and im sorry, but the only kid that they look up to, the quarterback, just doesnt have it. And for this, i see them maybe going 3-7. I hate to see it happen, but thats just the way it is!

I graduated from Bandera last year and as I can tell we have 2 years before the same thing happens to us. Is Aguero still there, and if he is how has he being doing running the ball?

Sorry, therealbulldogs, Alonso Aguero graduated last year. He is a close friend of mine. He decided to take a year off from school and beef up.(As if he needs to) He rushed for over 1400 yds last year, in a pass based offense. He led the city of San Antonio in yds per carry. Marion sure is missing him this year. Hey realbulldogs, what was your name, number and position?

[therealbulldogs]

For some reason I thought that he was a year younger. I was #77 and started on both sides of the line.

[therealbulldogs]

Isn't there another running back though? I just remember Marion having two good running backs. I was #77 and started on both sides of the line.

[jgbulldog]

To therealbulldogs:
Yeah, we have another good one who is a senior this year. His name is Jesse Loyola. He runs a ligit 4.5, but his problem is that he breaks to the outside everytime he gets the ball. These defenses that they are playing are too quick for that. He's coming around, because this year, we started as a one back set, and have recently moved to two back. This will help him a lot. Hope this helps you out.

jgbulldog, when talk about the many reasons Marion is hurting these days, you bring up a strong point when you talk about the absence of their 1,400 yard rushing fullback; yet what I think that hurts them more is the absence of a different player, a more unheralded player. That would be All-district TE/LB J.D. Meyer. No one on the team was on the field longer than Meyer and no one played harder than he did. Maybe SS Paul Atkins. Anyways, he started both ways, every day, every game, every play. He was an all-district performer on both sizes and was a coaches dream. He was an inspiration and role model on the field, yet a bigger one off the field. Though he had college football potential, he decided to concentrate on the books. Hats off to this guy and let Marion remember him, because there will be few like him that come through there for a while.

[jgbulldog]

Hey, marion_man, what ever happeened to that all-district LB, JD Meyer???? Last I heard, he was throwing his life away in San Marcos, drinking and smoking. Is this true?? If so, it sure is a waste of talent!!! Any info would be helpful marion_man.

Do you Marion guys think Marion can bounce back this next week? How are the guys who got banged up against Luling?
