I don’t know what the odds are. I just know it’s possible. How could they not be at highest intensity in a win or go home game? The boys have had intensity in the games. Yes they've made some mistakes but their effort is there and they find a way to win. Everyone is acting like Davenport and Somerset were trash teams. We played Somerset to almost the exact same score as Boerne did a month ago. Davenport beat Fredericksburg by 30 and Boerne beat Fredericksburg by 39. We can play this game all day. It all comes down to matchups and I believe in this team. They'll be ready.

Again you’re missing the point. I’ve said it 50 times. It’s the INTENSITY level I’m talking about. Nothing about any score, other team, or even a win or loss. INTENSITY! The rest will take care of itself. And just to be clear, you try to make it sound like Cuero fumbled snaps or something. Those were turnovers forced by a high intensity defense. It seems to offend some of you that some of us know what our team is capable of and that we want to see it again. So your kids only wanted to play intense 1 game? If that's what you're claiming then oh well you need to accept that maybe they are the team from the other 12 games and not that 1 game. I don't think that's the case but going by your own words that's what it is and you can't have it both ways. Let me try to help you understand. Did Alice play all of their games with the same fight and intensity? The answer is “no”. They played their best all-around game at some point. Was that their realized potential or was it just some kind of unmatchable miracle? A&M had the capability to play MUCH better than they did most of the season. They proved that against LSU last night and Alabama early in the season. What happened in their other games? Same team. Totally different intensity levels. I’m not talking about some of this unrealized potential some people talk about with talent, size, and experience that never shows up. I’m talking about PROVEN ability. I know you and sotex both know all this but y’all just want to argue about it and that’s expected. I just sometimes wonder why I bother defending a 13-0 team to fans of a team that got ousted in the first round to a 3-7 team. Most teams inconsistent to some degree from week to week. That’s why we say the better team THAT NIGHT won. Not necessarily the better team.

Don’t get me wrong…. I believe in this team and am damn proud of their accomplishments so far. I just want to see their best again. Anything less from now on and it’s over and I don’t want it to be over.

That’s why we say the better team THAT NIGHT won. Not necessarily the better team. You lost me with the A&M example. They were a trash team that got lucky once and another time in keeping it close. You don't take 2 games and use those as examples when there's 9 other games of examples and in Calallen's case 12 other games as examples. You can't win this point. It's not reality.

Nobody said Davenport or Somerset were trash teams. All we said is at no point this season have you looked like the 2nd best team in 4A. Your boy insists Calallen still isn't playing to their potential and only did 1 game. Well then oh well maybe that's just who Calallen is. You can't take 1 single game and say that's who we really are when there is 12 other games of examples.

I guess I’ve just been giving you too much credit. My mistake.

The polls obviously have seen what I have seen but I’ll go ahead and go with your assessment anyway. Maybe you should inform those statewide polls how wrong they are. I’ve said before that rankings really mean nothing other than semi informed people’s guesses so you might be able to sway them your way. We’re 13-0. You spent all season with heart problems from us claiming underdog status, are you now proclaiming us underdogs? We relish that role.

Wrong. I have seen it so I know what they are capable of. That is the difference in potential and realized potential. And where you’re getting off track is not in our week 4 opponent but our week 4 performance. It could have been against anyone. That was the best Calallen has played this year so far. It’s about a known capability. And I really don’t think you want to get into any Cuero comparison scores. It could reveal some very telling things that wouldn’t be very flattering. Teams have bad games. If circling a game on the schedule guaranteed a good performance, I’d circle every game. We all saw the Cuero game on TV. It wasn't the dominant performance that the final score makes it look like. They turned the ball over twice in side the 5 yard line when they were about to score. and Cal was inside their 5 when the game ended. So what. Even if cuero had scored on those 2 drives, cal held them in check pretty good all night. I believe the following 2 weeks after this game they threw up 70 points. So yes I'd say it was a pretty dominant game by the defense. The offense struggled against cuero

First I want to congratulate boerne on their win, y'all have a great team, good luck going forward. Second congratulations to calallen on their win against Somerset, good job! Third but not least I want to congratulate our beloved sandcrabs, y'all have the hearts of champions, overcame so much to make this season a success, keep up the good work into the off season, comeback stronger. Port lavaca proud!! The three extra weeks of practice EARNED by beating teams they weren't supposed to, should benefit this team greatly going into next season. I look forward to seeing what next year holds for them. This cannot be overstated at all. Those extra weeks of work do indeed pay dividends the following season!
