Calallen has historically played tough teams before district play. They deserve the benefit of the doubt, and unless you’ve talked to their coaches, then you don’t know their reasoning. Benefit of the doubt? They put Mercedes on the schedule for like 238 years straight. Stop acting like they only play elite programs. They turned those games down. You sound like a fan of a pretty actress that wants to give them the benefit of the doubt just because they're pretty lol.

I get what you're saying but it's still wrong. You put your personal feeling aside to make your team better. Is playing a pushover from another country gonna make your team better than if you played Miller or Vets?. Then when you look at how good Miller and Vets are gonna be this season with all the players they return then it looks like the easy way out was taken by your coach. I understand your players got in a fight in a recent 7 on 7 but the schedule was made long before that. edit: I have no idea what Vets has coming back. Miller returns everyone though. If Calallen was playing GP and then the Mexico team followed by Robstown and Bishop ( or whatever other team in the area that has been down more than up), then yes it would look like the easy way out. Kind of like an unnamed SEC team does this with their current schedules to make them look good on the stats sheet when they don't do chit in SEC play other than a signature win here and there and get some T-shirts printed from it.... Anyhow, it's not like Cal is following up this game with those types teams, but instead Flour Bluff and Cuero which should be as good if not better than Miller and/or Vets. At least traditionally they both are. Playing a legit team doesn't cancel out playing a scrub opponent. If it was a last resort then yes. That's not the case here. We're not talking about Cuero and Flour Bluff being chosen over Miller and Vets. It's Mexico being chosen over Miller and Vets... and Denton Guyer.

Turns out she was secretly married and had a kid over a year ago.

So legit teams are not allowed to play at least one 'scrub" opponent? Who does Miller play in non district other than El Campo? I'll give Vets credit for their non district schedule of El Campo, Alice and NB Canyon although it could be argued NB Canyon isn't exactly a powerhouse up in that area or even mediocre over the last few years.

The only thing I can think is they want to get more reps with the QB. I'm not even sure who is going to be the starter. But we are starting fresh there for sure. Playing an easy team early might help him get comfy. I dont know. I'm not a fan of playing push overs. I'd rather take an early loss and find out what we need to work on

You're missing my point. I said I hold only Calallen to a different standard until someone else also earns it. You have been a consistent top 10 team for 35 years. Yes you don't only have to play elite programs for every single non-district game but the Mexico team is like you scheduled a team that lots of our JV's would beat. And you chose that over playing 2 very good local teams and the Denton program.

Excuse me sir, but I’ll have you know that in some of those years, we played Mercedes twice.

Denton Ryan to Calallen is like, idk, Calallen to that team from Mexico that everyone beats up on.

So here's some proposals that would be better than a Calallen - Denton Ryan match up. 1) Denton Ryan doesn't travel 8 hours and instead scrimmages their JV. Same outcome as playing Calallen and saves money on travel. 2) Calallen doesn't travel 8 hours and instead we all go out back and kick each other in the nuts. Same outcome as playing Denton Ryan and saves money on travel.

Going back to 2016 when we played Aledo, we were essentially called a valley school by some of those elite Northerners from North Texas. So, yea...........

Make sense or not Ryan challenged you when they saw you needed a game. Maybe they were also desperate and couldn't find anything. I have no idea what their thinking was but the challenge was made. Regardless you are Calallen and there's no way you had to settle for a pushover team from Mexico. A choice was made.

Regardless you are Calallen and there's no way you had to settle for a pushover team from Mexico. A choice was made. Yes, Calallen needs to play a better team than the one from Mexico. Yes, Calallen needs better non-district competition. (We've been a little better lately, but a lot of that has to do with COVID scheduling). Yes, Calallen should have played Miller or Vets if they had the chance. No, Calallen should not play Denton Ryan. I 100% would have turned down Denton Ryan too. Calallen gets absolutely nothing out of it. If we play Stephenville, or Liberty Hill, or someone like that and lose 35-14, then we know what we need to work on. "Oh, they ran it down our throats", "Oh, our secondary got shredded", etc. But the Denton Ryan game wouldn't be competitive. They are a whole different animal right now. We'd walk away with a 49-12 loss and probably a RB or two who were injured. Campbell has to look out for what is best for his team, and playing Denton Ryan is not best for Calallen. Playing the team from Mexico sucks, but at least its reps with a lower chance of injury.
