Whataburger for dinner weds night from DFW to Whataburger to the hotel

I've noticed BBQ is so subjective around these parts. One person might think the BBQ at one place is good vs another who says it sucks. But both would consider themselves BBQ experts and know what good BBQ taste like. No other food category can spark so many different opinions.

Except Whataburger.

ok guys your right lol just talked to Hubert the owner they are open Friday - sunday . i guess will stop by Friday . well ill be at the get together Saturday at 12 noon eddie deens crossing
at Collins rd ... man d paul really got me on his last post that its going to be a long trip home lol .. don't know why i cant get a grasp on this game as far as a prediction ? trinity is so big
natee and Wilson are a concern on their offense .. both # 28 on both teams could make huge plays in this game

FYI. North Main BBQ is an out growth of a trucking company. It got started by the owner and his wife cooking for the employees on Fridays & Saturdays. The wife would actually ring a triangle to let the guys know when it was ready. Later on their cooking reputation spread and they opened to the public, but still kept the weekend schedule. When the food is gone no more is cooked for that day. They catered my oldest daughter's wedding and the food was very well received.

Plenty of other spots for your Thursday repast. Have a great visit and good luck to you and your team! Go Trojans!

I'll chime in here along with predictions.

In the past, Trinity has been a grind it out on the ground physical team. While their scores weren't impressive as other top teams in the area, it was mainly because they controlled the clock with their run game. Long, time consuming drives resulting in scores limited them to no more than 40 points a game. Of course keeping the opponents defense on the field limited the time their offense was out there, also resulting in low scoring games for offenses who normally put several points on the board. Now with a new head coach, it remains to be seen (for me anyway) if Trinity will continue to run this type of game plan or go with a quicker offensive scheme that will open up the field for quicker scoring.

Their defense has always been the bend but don't break type defense. Opponents are able to drive sometimes effortlessly between the twenties but once there, the defense becomes solid and difficult to break and get into the end-zone.

Examples from last year against high scoring offenses.
Allen wins 30-27 with a last second field goal.
Southlake Carroll wins 10-6

Trinity will be very physical, their upfront guys are big, conditioned and strong. They will wear down an opponent so DLS will, as you say, be substituting on a regular basis. The talent of the substitutes can play a major factor in the outcome of this game.

If Trinity's offense is of the past, I see them controlling the clock and holding DLS's high powered offense to four scores, mainly because of clock control, limiting time possession allocated to DLS.

Prediction: Trinity 35 - DLS 28

If Trinity goes with a quicker offense, they will need to score on just about every possession as I see DLS running an assortment of play actions, sweeps, etc. to keep the defense on its toes every down which will wear them down as the game progresses. It wouldn't surprise me if DLS has studied game films of the opponents mentioned above.

Prediction: DLS 42 - Trinity 28

See you noon on Saturday!

I would not take the ongoing "big and slow" joke too seriously.

Watch this years first edition HS sports extra on Channel 8 last night and this game was one of the topic's. One of Ch 8's sports reporters was in Cali last week and attended two practices and here was his take. Very discipline team that reminded him of Odessa in their style of play. Biggest concerns, is their team speed and undersize on the lines compare to ET combine with three OL that also plays on the DL. These guys will be worn down by the 3rd qt if this is the case.

Thanks for your info. The Spartans will be subbing liberally just like Trinity. The Spartans, again like Trinity, are pretty deep this year at pretty much every position. This shouldn't be huge problem for either team. Should be a good one!

[tonydelasalle151]

ok so im being told this barbecues place isn't open on Thursday ? that's strange .. i guess i didn't do my research to well ? as far as D PAUL comments .. lol i have had some long flights home in the past
and if the Spartans lose it will be a long flight home .. i heard that trinity and de la salle exchanged videos of most of their games last year so that compliant i made about the scrimmage last Friday means nothing

[Trojanbacker2]

Thursday afternoon headed to north main bbq .. will be there at 215 pm then headed to dfw to pick up one of my buddy . will take to go for him ... d paul ... trojanbacker .. super b ... any of you guys in area at that time ill buy you guys lunch ? seems not to far from trinity high school

Thursday, eh? I tell ya, you are doing the whole shooting match in regards to coming to the MetroMess. I'm not much of a barbecue guy, but I may drop by there on Thursday just to meet you. I admire anyone who will travel all the way across the danged United States to watch a high school football game. A non-district game at that.
