  1. If you’re counting dead people, I’m sticking with the Possum. I thought we were talking about the current state of country music.
  2. Then. Try Tony Jackson’s cover of Possum’s “Grand Tour”.
  3. I think West’s defense IS better than last year and Defense wins championships
  4. Now do the same calculation but per participant rather than number of teams
  5. Thank you both for the thoughtful and civil discourse. It can be done.
  6. The only way to break the spell is to have a rider in black ride down Broadway east (NE) to west (SW) riding a white horse during the full moon:)
  7. Proud of you Harrison. Hard work pays, dreams come true!
  8. I don't know if TSSAA does it this way. Check their website. Add up all the games to get a total amount played. Then divide the number of games won by the total number played. For instance, if a team went 9-5-1, you'd add up 9+5+1 = 15. In order to add in the tied game, you break it into halves. Since a tie is neither a win nor a loss, you break each tie into 1/2 a win, 1/2 a loss. So, you'd add half a win to the total wins: 9.5 divided by 15 total games. The winning percentage of a 9-5-1 record would be .633 (or 63%).
  9. I agree with BtgoG that the wing T is probably not the right system for Halls, but not because they don't have "big powerful O-Line", on the contrary, the wing-t system allows smaller, not larger blockers to "angle block" larger defensemen simply because of physics. "To ask a 200lb lineman to block a 240lbs defender head on is more than likely asking him to do the impossible. But by blocking at an angle, you can cut his force by as much as two thirds. So, this allows a smaller lineman to push the defender wide, which is what we're looking for: width at the point of attack, not depth at the point of attack." Coach Marcelo Metzelar. The wing-t and its high-powered offspring hybrids have evolved along with the other "traditional" or ball control systems and can be as pass friendly, open & quick-striking as need be to fit the situation of the school running it. See Apopka, FL on ESPN Rise last week? No major giant linemen. Not much passing needed but still a 50-14 win & 3 rb over 100yds. Really really cool looking power sweep away from a jumbo look formation. Any system similar to the wing-T does however, require more than average dedication & preparation on part of the coaches & players that may not be possible for a variety of reasons at Halls. My point is not to sell anyone on the wing-t, but rather to point out it is not the wing-t system that is the root of problems at Halls. I don't know all of the problems Halls is having this year. Maybe its just a perfect storm of personel downturn (rash of injuries)along with an upturn of region opponents fortunes. Perhaps BtgoG is right, maybe they should pick another simpler system that better fits the Halls capabilities, teach it to the community park kids, practice it over & over & get very very good at it, and only then evolve it as needed. Good Luck Red Devils
  10. Matt, please don't letem get the fat-head & get above their "raizins".

  12. Yes, they do have WT clinics, lack of clinics is not the problem. A quick surf revealed the following links: http://www.tdfootball.com/clinic http://www.bucksweep.com http://www.wing-tcamp.com http://coachmetz.com/whywingt.aspx http://wing-tfootball.proboards.com/index.cgi
