Let others play for second place 2k7. Champion=Crowned

[THEsouthlakeCARROLL]

So here is how its going to be in 2007 - The first 10 games of the season will be played as normal; however, when the regular season is complete, whichever division SLC is in will have one less week than it would otherwise have, SLC will be crowned D-x champion, and the winner of that bracket will be deemed state runner-up for that division. No need to play the games in 2007.

Not if you end up in the same Division as The Woodlands College Park. That game won't even be close. Both Dodge and Newton will be un-recruited after that game cause they're going to be made to look so bad. Even Todd Dodge will withdraw his offer to Riley to play at North Texas. My prediction:

College Park 57
Southlake Carroll 3

Lighten up guys. It's the off season. He's just having a little fun. Have you seen some of the other threads that have sprouted since Xmas? At least this one is football related.

Besides, who's willing to bet against Carroll winning again?

Call me superstitious, but I don't like to "guarantee" any wins...:D

It's a little easier for me. It's not my team. LOL. I didn't even want to guarantee a College Park win against Magnolia last year.

I'll do it....what's the bet? I'll start the bidding at $500.

Oh man. If you're betting against the field, you probably should take 5-1 odds at the very least. Your 100 against 500.


By the way, the question in my original post was rhetorical. I don't think the Admins would appreciate this Board turning into the Vegas Sportsbook. Not without the complimentary beverages anyway.

I was being kind. Sakatha doesn't even think you guys will score 3.

he's no dummy. we'll be breaking in a newby coach and all. not much hope on our horizon.

[twcpfan1]

Yep you got it. You guys are gonna suck.

In all seriousness though, the only team that I see right now that could break Carroll's streak is Euless Trinity. Maybe Katy if they end up in the same division. A Carroll-ET matchup would be a toss-up. They should be slightly favored against Katy.

We're all just having fun...who knows how it will unfold?

[twcpfan1]

When do the KT's put up the pre season Top 25? Do they normally wait until around Spring practice?

[Sakatha]

I was being kind. Sakatha doesn't even think you guys will score 3.

I was going to go into the negatives, but since that's not possible.. :(
On a serious note, how do you guys look for this coming fall?

Ill TAKE IT... 1 G that Carrol doesn't win another title next year:D

Free money.. YEAH!

Its usually around Mid-June. They tease us with one every week....those [censored]:p ...lol

We get a lot of our kids back. 2007 will be the first year we have a decent number of seniors to pick from. I think we should match up ok with The Woodlands and hopefully, we put up a respectable showing against Lufkin. We did end our season on a pretty good note with a 38-45 playoff loss to a pretty good Klein Forest team. Hopefully we can build on the positives from last year.

(Homer) Look for Euless Trinity to be back in top form. There are alot of great teams so it will be tough getting through our opponets but somehow I think we will. 2007 will be a team to remember! The defense will be great and the offense should be even better. I can't stand the off-season! Let's play some H.S. football!

[svhorns]

like I've said in another post... 79-1 thats really not that good... 80-0 well now thats something to brag about...

until they are proven to be human in 5a you cant really argue with that. But despite what most think about the new coach situation we will have to wait and see if this guy can fill dodge's shoes.

Let's make the season more exciting. SLC should give all the District teams a 25 point start and then the score at the end of the game will be deemed the result.

I'd be willing to bet against Carroll. If SLC goes Div I, they'll have to replay Trinity.

we are every bit as vulnerable as we have been for several years, if not moreso. we were obviously vulnerable last year, too.

If you did'nt catch my humor..my bad...I was just kidding..Trinity gave Carroll all they could handle and I'm sure it would be a great game if they meet again..

[G-Man]

Well, at least we get to see if it was Todd Dodge or the superior kids of Southlake. If I was a betting man I would say they dont repeat. Offense will still be awesome but the defense has to learn a new system and terminology. Might be just enough for someone to notch a win against them either early or late in the season.

[Trinity Trojan Fan For Li]

August just can't get here fast enough to see what's going to happen.

Of course you would bet against, as would most if wagering. The odds against repeating are very high. I don't think most of the Carroll fans see the factors as you do however. Most wouldn't claim that we have "superior kids in Southlake." What we have had are kids that work hard and listen to instructions. Whether Todd Dodge was the magic that made that hard work pay off will be partially tested in several months. But repeating can't be the test, as the likelihood of not repeating is just too great. The Dragons will have the same goals as always:

1. Win district
2. Play after Thanksgiving

That's it. Now, if they are playing after Thanksgiving they can start thinking about each game after that in succession.

So, how close to a loss was SLC against Trinity? Yes, they won! If , they had lost, coach Dodge would still be the coach? The supposed reign would be over? Would all the talk had been how they went out in the 2nd round?

The fact is, SLC faces these kind of questions from every team that woulda, coulda, and shoulda. SLC is the champion until they are dethronged! (I would bet against them if they play ET again in 2007) ET has too much talent again! I still can't believe that we lost to anyone in 2006. Good luck Dragons, until we meet again! Hopefully!

[t-long20]

I'll do it....what's the bet? I'll start the bidding at $500.

with a thread title like that,you can count me in

Yes Trinity was that good in 06...imagine how good that makes Carroll...Good luck to you guys in 07!

I think it's very apparent that the guy that started this thread is a cocky high school student at SLC, and it is because of people like him that SLC is looked at as having cocky fans. I think he owes every other SLC fan and poster an apology for his statement. SLC has very good fans, and I respect almost all of them with the exception of posters like THEsouthlakeCARROLL. THEsouthlakeCARROLL, you wonder why people think ya'll are the cockiest fans....well it's because of posters like yourself. I think every other SLC poster and fan on this forum would agree with what I have said.

We've all been joking about it for most of the thread....The thing about Carroll is, they have to earn what they get every year...no one has given them a game yet, much less a title...it's a new year, a new coach, a new defense and a whole new set of challengers...

ok, I didn't read the ENTIRE thread. I just read the first page, and I went with what was said there. Your right about the new challegers, coaches, defense, and new year for sure. Ya'll still have the bullseye on your backs for all the contenders in Texas football to see. However, you have to admit that ET gave ya'll one heck of a game in the playoffs. I was at that game, and wow, it was one for the ages! So don't say ya'll haven't been given a game, ya'll just haven't been given a loss....yet. Good luck SLC and to everyone else who's still chasing them(Everyone lol).

SGP 06, Think about when SGP wins every year or a couple of times and is always right at the championship everytime. There is almost no way you can say anything about SGP that will not seem arrogant to almost everybody. Can you not be confident w/out being cocky or arrogant? The mere mention of how good you think SGP is will be a problem for alot of people. However, I agree with you that it's either someone very young or having a laugh, I think the latter. BTW, SGP will be good for many seasons to come! You guys need to make some noise in the playoffs to prove how good you are. Good Luck

I didn't mean for what I said to be taken the wrong way. I'm not saying that if your teams wins every year, and you say something good about them that it doesn't sound cocky. It most likely does, but what I am saying is that when you make a bold face prediction like that then it is no longer just a good comment about your team. It is saying that you just KNOW FOR A FACT that you will win. If he was joking, then thats one thing, but when I first read it, I didn't see it that way. I would be upset if another SGP poster made such bold predictions like that, because it reflects every SGP poster (obviously this wouldn't be said unless we had won as many as SLC has, i know that). That was all I was saying. Thank you though for the comment about SGP. I think we have it set up to where we will be contenders in any district we play in for the next few years. Your right though, we need to go much deeper in the playoffs to make ourselves known as true contenders. Good luck to you guys at ET as well, even though you may not need it to badly. lol.

I was complimenting your kids, not knockin' 'em. Hated to see Dodge go. He led the program that set the standard for the rest of the state and raised the bar for the rest of us. In my book you guys can brag, talk smack, or whatever you like---because its all been backed up on the field. Good luck in the coming year!!
