Roll Call

[Super B]

I grew up in Euless, still live here in Bedford. I am a fan of Trinity.

I mostly follow the NE Tarrant County teams. Bell, SLC, Grapevine, Heritage, the Birdville schools, the Keller schools, the NWISD schools.

[Eagle82]

An Abilene boy here, though was a Junction Eagle so I follow them as well as most of the small schools in that area.

[Super B]

Well I'm in the southwest DFW area that covers Region 1&2 and the toughest district in the state. Currently reside in the city where the other Eagles reside, the little town with the D. Enjoy and been following sports in the area and state since the 80s.

Translation.

DeSoto Eagles

[JagFan]

Good question.

Live in Flower Mound and my heart belongs to the Flower Mound High Jaguars. Follow Flower Mound Marcus, Lewisville, Hebron or better put Lewisville ISD.

[sTp]

Or which team do you usually follow, or is it a handful of teams? Or do you try to follow a larger area?

This has been rolling around in my head for the past few days. I got to wondering how our membership is currently spread out around the state, and should football season start tomorrow, what areas would be represented? Some of the user names are easy to figure out, some, not so much. Tell us where you at!

Region II is my home. (Yes, all of it..) I live in North Austin (Round Rock), so I will mainly be able to give information about my team (Round Rock Stony Point), and the 136A (North Austin) and 146A (Austin) Districts. Will do my darndest to try to take in some other games from the area.

Where you at?

[Farmer]

Pleasure to be here my good sir.

Chicke nuggets in the morning?

[King_Curtis]

Welcome aboard King Curtis.

[svhorns]

Well...I'm here

Welcome aboard King Curtis.

[Super B]

Well...I'm here

I was beginning to wonder.

[King_Curtis]

Well...I'm here

[chhspantherfan]

I apologize about that. For some reason the system placed you in the area where I had to manually approve you. I think it was because Farmer had requested you be placed on "The List".

Okay, just joking about Farmer.

If there were a "Post of the Year" thread, this would be a nominee !!!

[Admin]

Finally got through customs, must of thought I was dangerous. Most active poster and I haven't even posted yet. #MVP

Are you asking JagFan to grow some balls? Shades of Bruce Jenner.

Im an idiot, water is wet. Good to have you here Carl, but im not sure I can speak with you until you prescribe me with more cowbell.

[JagFan]

I don't need balls to talk football! And certainly not Bruce Jenner's if I did.

[some eagle fan]

Well he's not using them any longer so..... Anyway I doubt she would be interested today, but at one point in time that was some set he had.

[ktCarl]

If you guys want to talk some football lets talk some football but this **** of hurting peoples feelings and being too over dramatic is the reason that board is the way it is. Either grow some damn balls and lets talk football or go back to nancyville.

Dang I would love to like this post a 2nd and 3rd time if I could.
We really appreciate you stepping up in the manner in which you have. Words can't express how grateful a lot of us our. They have their board and the direction they want to go and now you've given those of us who may be on a different path, a new road to drive on. Thanks again

For my first post I want to call out Farmer. Apparently the correct words cannot express your gratefulness...

[Comanche]

lol

I sent you a text yesterday.

I knew that was you!!! ha!

[svhorns]

Yup sorry for the bad words. Appreciate you doing this.

[badhabit]

I know who you are.. That is why I posted the thread I posted, to feel you out.

[Farmer]

I'd like to jump in here.

First of all, if you see **'s by words you've typed, I have implemented the dirty word filter. Feel free to type the word to get your point across but don't be upset if you see it replaced with the ***'s.

Many of us made an attempt to step up when the old board went "poof" and those attempts were ignored. All in all it was a matter of who got to the plate first and we all now know who it was, which is fine. Even then, attempts to help out, even financially, were ignored. I myself was okay with that, hey, I made an attempt, so be it.

It was said that the "benefactor" had chosen to remain anonymous and I think that lasted all for a week or so. Dawg revealed that it was his money, again, which is fine. As I posted in the Welcome Message, a mere $750 or less per year is all it takes to get the board online and running. I didn't post that to toot my own horn, I posted it to make a point, mainly that this doesn't have to be difficult and full of drama.

As time has gone by Dawg has begun to voice the costs of running the board, challenged members to possibly pony up $$ for this or that, etc. He announced he wants to award scholarships, even named a board of directors and has or in the process of registering as a not for profit organization. Man, all I can say is kudo's to him if he wants to help the kids. I think he's beginning to find out though that it's not going to be cheap. Moderators have been assigned and I'm not the only one who feels some are abusing their power. This has resulted in quite a few members just walking away. Hey, it's their board, they can do whatever they want, right?

I myself want a place I can come without the attitude. I don't want to hear the owner of the board complain about costs. I don't want to walk on egg shells having to rethink my words before they're typed. I could go on and on. What it boils down to is I just want a place where I can be my ornery old self and interact with the fine folks of the HS football community. I'm not interested in giving scholarships, hiring accountants, lawyer's, naming a board of directors, etc. I just want to have a board I can talk football so that's all this is going to be, a community where like minded folks can talk football. We surely won't be the biggest but we have the potential to be a very close community creating friendships along the way.

I started prepping this board early March based on the tone of the replacement 6A board, I felt we needed a place to fall back on just in case. I was content with just leaving this parked until recent actions over there changed my mind. It bothered me to see long time posters of the old board begin to walk away. We are here now and I assure you we're not going anywhere.

These boards are a dime a dozen. Time will tell how this one will turn out. I can say though that we're starting from scratch and don't have the advantage of taking over another boards membership base, a base who had no other option but to join up with that boards replacement. So yes, this will be a challenge, a challenge to earn your trust. You will find that I am easy to communicate with and very open to your ideas. This community won't be about myself or a personal agenda. It will be about and comprise of its members so all in all, the members will decide on the success of this community.

In closing I know none of you have any idea who I am. All I can say is please be patient and in time it will be revealed.

Thank You

I see this board is off to a flying start. I will try to get some balls like you and post tough guy talk on the internet. Please forgive me for not being there yet.

I'd rather you bring some good football content over here but if being a tough guy poster is what you want to do, then by all means it will be welcomed by me. I'm not here to bash anyone that posts over here but lets let the feelers stuff go and debate some damn football, without worrying about board members and walking on egg shells. You are more than welcome to tell me I'm an idiot, and guess what, it would actually be ok with me.

[DPaul]

If you enjoy reading dawgs bullshit then not sure what youre doing here. I nor anyone owes that dumb **** a thing. By all means im all for people coming over bur leave this bullshit for the pussies over there.

In other words if your 2nd post is about deserting someone and how that might make someone feel and not about football or sports you probably won't make it here.

I was conflicted. I know the guys that started the last board really helped everyone out that were damn near about to jump off a cliff because there was no place to go after 5A board went poof. Dawg stepped up to the plate. And now we're all deserting that?.... somethin seems a little wierd about that to me.

Not deserting at all, and yes big thanks to him and those that helped us find a home when the other site went down. Like Jagfan said, I plan on being at both sites. Just a different board, not better, just different.

He did step up big time. I plan on visiting both sites and posting where the conversation leads.
