This is DFW folks... don't take my word for it - take the non-partisan branch of the government that categorizes and divides for the census. The DFW deniers would probably have you believe there are 72 distinct regions of Texas - and we can't have regional conversations.

If you said "I think Richardson's probably between 30-35 in DFW." I'd say you're probably right and we'd move on. I'm not the one who is putting that sensational stuff out there top 10 or top 20.. I've got one when my rankings get released you can go after me on too - but I'll at least defend my take and not just say "You must hate them.." lol.

Once you realize it's just about the integrity of the game and nothing to do with Richardson, it will all make sense. I I don't know how many times I have to keep saying I like Richardson and what they're doing over there. I just don't think they should be ranked over Aledo. I'll keep saying it though so you realize it at some point. Holloway knows I liked him when he was at Berkner and I like him here and I like Berkner and Coach Bryant and I like Richardson and Coach Holloway. I'd be getting texts from my friends if I sullied what they all did and have done for Richardson ISD.

This is just a personal opinion - so there's no reality in it, but if you really like a team, you actually do them a disservice by putting them on the radar. It's better to keep saying "watch out for this team" and keep them off the written path than to overrank them, because that's what bulletin board material is made of.. That's why in all this you're not hearing the words Plano East out of my mouth. Just Plano ISD. I'm not gonna do that to my people at East. We may get 8th, we may get 3rd.. we're just gonna try hard.. lol. But guarantee you at least one Plano ISD team makes the playoffs.. When North Crowley won their first state title in 2004 or whatever it was, our podcast/radio show starred quite a bit in their end of season highlights by talking about how they couldn't do it. Yet another end of an era moment.. Of course, it took some sort of failed drug test from the Texas High QB and getting pulled off the bus to make it happen, but what can ya do?

I love that you really think it's personal with Richardson. It's personal with the love of the game. You putting a #30-something team #8 is the offensive thing - nothing that Holloway has done. He just elevates the program. He's done amazing. Funny thing is I bet privately he'd agree.. they're not #8 yet. But he has a goal..

I've been doing this for 20 years. Nothing "just started". This isn't deeper than anything. Once you know my personality, it is what it is. I respond to everything, and I don't let things go. It's that simple. Until we have indisputable proof that you overranked Richardson at 8 and you ask for apologies to the world, we will stay on it. lol. You know what I do when I'm wrong? I quickly say I'm wrong. And that's it. You won't say you're wrong on Richardson yet, so we'll stick with it until you do. :D Holloway has done something most coaches can't do. He's elevated a program. Just not to #8!

I literally explained it to you. You are high on Richardson because of their playoff success, great record and good talent. You were low on Lancaster because of their bad record (and good talent). There is more involved than just that. Schedule matters. If Richardson had Lancaster's schedule, they would have been 3-7, maybe 4-7. Would you be as high on them?

One philosophical issue we constantly disagree on is the meaning of the record. This is just another place I get to hammer you on that. Lancaster makes you look bad with your take on that, because they are a really good 3-7 team, but you don't think a team can be "really good" if they're 3-7. But you're gonna love on these Saginaw (2024)-like teams that go 11-0 because they have a weak schedule and then lose by FAWTY the first time they play a real team.

No u just keep finding a way to shit on them when it’s not about greatness it was about steady improvement, why u pulling Lancaster out ya ahh is crazy especially when u don’t even know what all was going on there.. if it offended u that much for someone to give them credit that u had to bring up another entirely different situation to prove a irrelevant point… 🤦🏾‍♂️

Just like you, I talk about almost every game, every single week. I'm the idiot who said DeSoto was done and it's the end of an era last season. I don't mind people using my receipts on me. I hold myself accountable for my comments. You are harder on Lancaster than you are on Richardson. I'm just bringing your receipts to the table.

Now you're making up the narrative. I'm saying they've elevated from 50-55 in the area to 30-35 in the area, you're saying they've elevated from 50-55 to 15-20 (or #8 depending on which version of yourself you want to believe) - both are impressive upgrades. I'm just saying they're still 30-35 in the area. They're just like Flower Mound, Plano, Bowie, Berkner, etc.. gonna win a game or two they shouldn't and lose a game or two they should. You only think it's dumb because you expose yourself with your answers. It's a very clear question with a very clear answer, and it exposes your whole theory that wins are the only thing that matters. That's only true for 12 teams a year. The rest of the teams in the state, we need to consider nuance to analyze and comment on their programs.. If you are being a genuine analyst about high school football, and will answer the question about Lancaster, your record for Lancaster with Richardson's schedule will be as good if not better than Richardson's schedule last year. Maybe you give'em 9-3, maybe you give'em 11-1.. but you'll give them better than 8-4. Once you do that, your narrative is dead. No way you're going to pick them to lose to Plano one week after they shoulda beat North Crowley.

I want to debate Richardson vs. Lancaster, especially as hard as you have been on Lancaster's "record" last year.. as if most teams in the state wouldn't have the same record with that schedule.. I'll say for time #22 - Holloway gets huge props for elevating that team one level. They are definitely better now than they were. But, you can see it easier because of their schedule being so easy. Lancaster was a better team than Richardson the last two years.. and y'all disappointed because they were 8-14. Almost all those losses most teams in the state would be taking. You're completely ignoring perspective in your analysis. That's why I'm 90% likely going to win the debate. It's possible Plano gets shut out - anything is possible but highly unlikely. Coin flip for them to get 2 out of 3 spots.
