McMillan's catch

I’ve never claimed to be cool but if I had a time machine one of my first stops is a late 80s/early 90s Texas HS football game.Swaye said:
So funny hearing those schools you mention. Going to HS in Dallas in the 80's I don't recall any of those schools but Plano ever making noise. Plano was elite, even then. State was controlled by Odessa, Midland, Converse Judson, the aforementioned Plano and Carter (Dallas) got really good then (5A). Katy also had some good teams but they seemed to really turn it on in the 90's. Been really wild seeing how Texas High School football has morphed in the last 30 years.LoneStarDawg said:I haven’t watched much Texas, but Worthy looks like Mickens brain and hands inside John Ross body. Watching him between plays and on the sideline he looks like a walking headcase, I hear he’s in weekly NIL escalations.
The problem with the state of Texas is that HS are run like D2 colleges, they recruit, they have dedicated staff, they have 80M+ facilities and anyone worth a damn or looks like they’re worth a damn is crowned a first round draft pick in 8th grade. They’re having a serious issue with development because kids are in the portal mindset in 9th grade if they’re not getting touches. There are still ultra elite bodies and measurables, but the fundamentals and team ball are turning to shit. This is IMHO watching north Dallas high school football (Allen, McKinney, Lewisville, Plano).
Hell, I went to Duncanville High School. We were decent in the 80's, but nothing great. 10 years after I graduated they won State. When I went there school was 70% white, 30 % other. Now I hear it is 90% black, 10% other. And they lost in the 6A (we didn't even have 6A in the 80's) championship game a three times in the last five years (high school Bills I guess). Become a really dominant program. I check in from tim to tim and see Austin Westlake (who?) is now a hugely dominant force and basically in it every year it seems like.

Plano schools suck now, the football arms race is all about economics and Plano is trending towards poor as the suburbs expand further north.Swaye said:

This is obviously a huge part of my interest (even though I still somehow haven’t watched the TV show, I know, I know). I don’t even know that the movie is necessarily that great, but I could watch it once a month and not get tired of it. It struck a chord and I wish I could have experienced it.LoneStarDawg said:FireTheJanitor said:

His on side kick recovery was also a thing of beauty. Notable for the coach's forward thinking by having 2 # 11s and having JMac in a changed jersey. So, any kicker will kick away from # 11. Love this staff to put the right people in the right places.79smoothdawg said:Haven't seen anything acknowledging it. His catch was fuckin real good and at a huge time in the game.

Tim McGraw as the dad should have won an academy award. I'm not even kidding. That's what brings me back again and againFireTheJanitor said:

I think some other problems with Texas is it’s over scouted and over hyped. You probbaly have to do a lot more to get that 5th star on the west coast than you do in texas. So all of their classes are overrated almost by default.LoneStarDawg said:I haven’t watched much Texas, but Worthy looks like Mickens brain and hands inside John Ross body.

Also I think the school coddles the football players which makes them a perpetual group of pussies. -
He’s incredible in it. One of my best friend’s son was a Sr this year on a good HS football team in CA. I sent him this picture most Friday’s this year:RaceBannon said:

Agree. In real tim, I thought “wtf the corches doing putting some walkon for onside coverage there?” I was pleased to see @MikeVorel twat on that.EwaDawg said:
