No amount of votes is going to save Smithson Valley from what is coming for them. Aledo doesn't use one of those inflatable things? I got mad respect for your program if that's the case! That's correct. For today I'll wear that as a badge of honor. But full disclosure, the bond measure just passed, so...

But full disclosure, the bond measure just passed, so... My local high school attempted to stay traditional with a run thru banner for a while. Then the huge inflatable came. But then the old timers insisted on the run thru cloth banner, so for a year or two the players ran through the inflatable and then the cloth banner in front of the inflatable (tacky!)… and then decided for the inflatable before kickoff and the cloth banner before the second half. Eventually, the inflatable won out. It’s more durable, lasts longer, and is more exciting for the players and the majority of the fans with the smoke and pageantry of it all.

Hey, as a measure of good luck for Aledo tonight, I'm at the 4A-2 championship game now, and Gilmer has our same fight song, AND they're black and orange!
And they're winning so I've already heard our fight song like 4 times. I expect I'll hear that song a bunch more between now and 10pm.

The team currently losing the 4A-2 championship game is ranked higher than SV. Do with that what you will.

In context, SV was underdogs to both College Station and A&M Consolidated from every source I could find, and won both games. As expected, they are underdogs tonight. Let's see what happens - been fun interacting with y'all in the buildup to the game, I'll probably go dark and go full Jerry Tarkanian during the game complete with the white towel! I hope everyone enjoys the game on both sides, and nobody gets injured for either team!

Looks like we're avoiding the Orange Curse tonight and going with the white jerseys.

I didn't even vote. Just lettin it all play out. Any thoughts on the game? I think everybody has high respect for the SV program. Rightfully so. I will say that had Burleson come up with a monumental upset back in 2001 against Ryan and played SV in the title game, as much as I loved that Elks team, SV would have beaten the Elks had they played in that title game. SV gave a very talented Ryan team a heck of a game then. They've built their program on that reputation. It's commendable and respectable. But all that being said, I think they will run into an Aledo team that won't be denied tonight. At some point I do think SV will get their time though. They've built too good of a program not to. They've kinda knocked on the door for quite a while now.
