Alabama isn’t so great after all, huh? — The Texas A&M Aggies make you all so called College Football know it all’s think twice about that twice. — The Crimson Tide are not great, but they’re real good. They got outplayed by a better football team. They had some mistakes. And that defense that some say could go up against an NFL team? Yeah, not anymore. Let’s get real, this is College Football here. The Best Collegiate football team would get slaughtered by the best NFL Team, heck maybe even the worst pro team. The best College team only has a handful of potential draftees, that’s it. There have been only few rosters in College Football history that have a legit future first round NFL Draftee roster.
–Not to mention the speed’s of the two game’s are different, that’s what would get them more than anything.
— Ultimately though, the reason why a match-up like this in the best College Team vs. an NFL team wouldn’t ever happen is because believe it or not, but their are people that think the best College team could win. If this were to happen, we wouldn’t ever hear the end of it.
But let’s get real here, it wouldn’t really happen. College Football is overrated compared to that of the rough and tough steel defenses that play in the National Football League. You all remember the Baylor/West Virginia game, correct?
Geno Smith had seven touchdown passes in that game.. let me just say that none of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks would ever throw for that many in ONE GAME. — Not Drew Brees. Nope, not Peyton Manning. Not Aaron Rodgers. — Not even Tom Brady. That says a lot. Then again, not really.
HALTOM CITY: Birdville showed they can respond in delicate game situations on Thursday night, defeating the Panthers.
Birdville committed 20 turnovers in Thursday night’s North East Lions Club Tournament game (Round one) vs. Paschall High. — Despite an at times, sloppy offense, the Hawks got some big scores when it counted the most, and their defense, according to Coach (Jeff) Fitch is what helped them win this game, more than anything. “Our defense helped make our offense” Fitch said.
— There was a point in the game where neither team could get a score, and that point came in the fourth-quarter. — All the sudden, almost out of no where, the Hawks started hitting some shots. It started with Crane, and then Kendall Johnson. That’s what put the game away for Birdville (2-3), who beat the Paschall Panthers (1-3) 45-41 on Thursday night. And it’s situations like this, that will help guide this team through the season. They needed to prove they could respond, and they did. It’s games like the one vs. Denton Guyer, and Tuesday night’s heart-breaking last-second loss to Fossil Ridge that show they can respond. — And as long as they can do that, they should be just fine. Birdville will play Haltom for tomorrow night’s round two tournament game at the Thomas Coliseum.

The Washington Wizards bought their first win of the season tonight. By doing this, they avoid worst start to a season in franchise history. — With the win, they are now 1-13. If this were the NFL, and if they were the league’s worst team at 1-13, ouch is all I can say. — Still, though even in the NBA’s long 82 lingering game season, 1-13 isn’t a pretty sight. They still have plenty of basketball to play. This isn’t the NFL, and they have a chance. There are 69 games left. — I’m not saying the Wizards are going to win these final 69 games, but.. I’m just saying in the NFL a 1-13 team only has two games, and would likely finish either 1-15, or 2-14, yeah, or something like that. Anyway, the bottom line here is that the Wizards got the win. — But there’s just one more thing… why am I writing about the Wizards now? …. Good self purposed question, I can’t figure out why.

HALTOM CITY: Coach Jeff Fitch said it wasn’t a must win game. His team didn’t play like it was one either. — It was only their fourth game of the new season. They we’re coming off a closely contested battle from their last-game in which they only lost by seven to a really good team. “Every time you play an athletic team, it helps you” said Coach Fitch before the game. — It helped them out somewhat, but the Hawks defensive game showed up more than their offense, and this, and 16 turnovers isn’t going to help you out much. Though, it should be noted the Hawks only had three-second half turnovers, as oppose to 13 first-half turnovers. Sophomore guard Andrew Sorrells led the team in something he probably didn’t want to, as he had 4 turnovers.
— However, despite these turnovers, the Hawks were in it the entire game, as the two team’s struggled to get ahead with a convincing lead at any-point. But turnovers, like they had earlier in the game, haunted the Hawks, as they turned it over on a crucial possession in the final seconds. The Panthers, much to the Hawks misfortunes capitalized on the turnover, going the other way and scoring the game-winner with nine seconds left in the game. — Birdville got the ball down the court and was able to get one last-shot at it, and it was a nice look, to, however it didn’t go in, as the buzzer sounded, the Panthers squeezed on past the Hawks in this one, 32-30. “When you hold someone to 32 points, you’re supposed to win” Coach Fitch said. “We missed a lot of makeable shots” he added. — While this one wasn’t a must win, it can be looked up as a game they could have won, but they can only move on and continue to improve and play basketball, as there is 28 games remaining, and the Hawks have shown some moments of greatness so far this season, even at 1-3.
Birdville hosts a tournament at the Willy G. Thomas Coliseum on Thursday (11/29-Saturday (12-1).

Now that Notre Dame has gone undefeated and has received their first #1 overall ranking in a long-time, everyone is thinking that the dominoes have fallen, and with a major impact, that’s shouldn’t be the real case here. You think one team out of the top 25 BCS Standings/Pols is going to change that much?
— Think again. Smell the coffee, and wake up. If I re-call, currently the number two ranked team in the country is Alabama?
— Correct? They’re an SEC School, correct? Georgia? Well as of right now, they’re ranked number 3, SEC School, check. Missing anyone here? Yep, Florida #4. Is that all now? Nope, LSU, and than Texas A&M comes in at #9 (of course with Johnny Football). That’s five SEC School’s. When you stack competition that has consistently wound up on top against a recent struggling school who must I remind all you people big on ND barley beat a sloppy Pittsburgh Panthers football team in triple overtime.
Now correct me If I’m wrong, but… I’m pretty sure an SEC School would DEMOLISH Pit. Notre Dame didn’t do that. They squeaked by. This is exactly why any SEC school would knock them off. This is also exactly why not that much hasn’t changed in the land of College Football, because SEC team’s like they have been in year’s past, are once again at it in with a chance to go to the BCS National Championship game against an unlikely 12-0 fluke of a team in the Fighting Irish.
The Dallas Cowboys may be bad, but the Philadelphia Eagles are just plain garbage. — And a lot of Eagles fans are pointing their fingers at Eagles head-coach, Andy Reid. — Whether or not this is the right thing to do, I can’t personally speak for Eagles’ fans. — Now, as I was saying, both team’s aren’t that great, in fact at times the Cowboys have played like garbage, but not the entire season, at least. Philadelphia’s 3-8 record can speak fore

itself, as they’ve basically played like trash all season long. — That’s why Andy Reid’s head-coaching job is on life-support right now.
Say what you will about Garrett’s own failures and missadeventures as the Cowboys have had another thrusrsating season, but it’s been far from the meltdown in the City of Brotherly Love. — Than again… at times… the Cowboys seem to look worse than they really are, or are they really this bad? I’m not sure. I’m confused. Can’t decide. There’s one way you can say for sure about this team. Call them a roller-coaster ride. The Cowboys are going to finish 8-8. — You know it, stop denying it. It’s the truth. Dallas hasn’t proved that they can do any-better. Their best isn’t good enough. Even when they knock off the defending World-Champions in the Meadowlands in week one in impressive fashion, who do they think they’re fooling? — Apparently, everyone. Well, fast-forward to week 13 and that’s not exactly the case anymore. — The Cowboys are as good as being capable of playing like garbage vs. the Eagles. — Than… technically… they’re aren’t really good. Not at times. But, they are capable of being a good team. It’s just not their true indentity. You know the Cowboys, win or lose, they’ve got a strong fan-base, that stays true to the team a lot of the time. But some fans, much like the team, are a roller coaster ride. — And they wouldn’t want it any other way.

Ohio State football fans still care. There’s no question about it. — Don’t even question their fanhood. That would be you’re first mistake. Many of which the Buckeyes have made, leading to where they are now.
You can choose to be mad at Ohio State all you want, but it will doesn’t matter. And it never will. There is nothing nobody can do about it. Whine all you want, and beg, do you’re worst, but it’s not going to ever help. The Buckeyes’ 12-0 record will not save their season, quarterback Braxton Miller’s solid numbers won’t be enough to salvage this sour-taste, but it’s not the sour-taste you would think they have. Either way, it doesn’t matter, The Buckeyes, due to their own stupidity, will not be going bowling this time. — It doesn’t matter if they played 14 games, and still went undefeated, as they are under NCAA Sanctions. There’s the negative side, now I present to you some light. — You can choose to view this situation either-way you like.
But the Buckeyes aren’t the only one’s who know what it feels like. Look no further than the 2011 USC Trojans football team, which may I add due to sanctions, allowed UCLA to compete in the Pack 10 Championship game that season, which takes a bunch of legitimacy away from the land of College Football. — Talk about a Trojan virus, right?
That’s what the Buckeyes are dealing with now. It’s not something the fans can be happy about, but they cheer their team on every Saturday, anyway. They cheer them on as if their not under sanctions. The sight of the uplifted cheerful fans gives some chills. — It gives some chills because they can see past the blind-side of which the NCAA committee can’t.
— They can choose to punish this school even more, and it still won’t light a candle in the school spirit. Or they can choose to whine and moan because the fans have spirit, and they don’t.
The sight of the fans that still believe, even when all hope is gone, is what made this season’s Ohio State team special. — “Special”? You might ask. Yeah, special. You know, the special that defines this team, which is unlike any-other, and it gives some chills. — Those people who sanctioned this team don’t know the first thing about special, or any other thing this team gave, and in turn they have their old Red and White to thank, because like them, they’re special. — That’s what makes this team special. — Special enough for their fans to care, even at this point when they won’t be bowling.
— This doesn’t have to be said to them though. — They know this, that’s exactly what makes them special, you know? The uplifted sight of the Ohio State alumni helped the team, and that sight that gives some chills is all due to the fact that they care. They care because it’s still football, and they know they can still win, and rub it in the faces of the nay-s
Block O in a game in the south stands (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
ayers. — Now that’s what makes them special. And there’s no question about Ohio State, oh, they care all right.

NORTH RICHLAND HILLS: The Birdville Hawks Men’s Varsity Basketball team plays in a tournament at the Thomas Coliseum starting on Thursday November 29th, Friday, the 30th, and Saturday, December 1rst.
The Sportsguy is aware that this is only one sentence, but stay tuned, for their shall be more added to this post.
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS: The 10-2 Trinity Trojans come into Saturday’s game, not losing in the third round of the playoffs since 2007, if there’s any-team that may be able to pull it off, it may just be the South Lake Carroll Dragons. The Dragons are coming into Saturday’s game having 11 games in a row, their last loss came in the season opener against Allen, as the Eagles shut a stunned Dragons football team out 24-0. — Euless Trinity is almost as hot as South Lake heading into the heavy-weight battle, the Trojans, after dropping 2 of their first 3 games on the season have now won nine in a row.
The difference of margin for these two team’s playoff wins is quite different.
The Trojans haven’t exactly obliterated their opponents, well, not to the extent that the Dragons have, anyway. Take a look for yourself here: (Trinity): http://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/trinity-trojans-(euless,tx)/football/schedule.htm
(South Lake): http://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools/carroll-dragons-(southlake,tx)/football/schedule.htm
Saturday’s game should be a great one, as both team’s have been preneial power-houses in the recent years in Texas High School Football.

The Irony of Completion here is that someone like Collin Kapernick is having to compete against someone on his own team, such as Alex Smith. — If I was Jim Harbuagh, I wouldn’t have made this decision, on a personal note, anyway.
The funny thing here is that you are still having to compete against other teams, and those show up on the record, not who starts at quarterback. Though, an argument could be made saying that the starter has a lot to do with the team’s record. In addition to competing against these teams, in order to keep you’re starting position, you must compete against the others on the team. This isn’t what I’d call a team.
A team is one who supports each other, no matter what happens, not one who wants something over the other, or to put in more understandable terms: THIS IS A TEAM, NOT SOMEONE YOU ARE TRYING TO BEAT TO GET MORE POINTS AGAINST. If you think about it, this is really no different from going out each Sunday and competing against other teams. A. The Coach’s keep points in mind when making a decision to move a player as the starter. B. Did I mention the ridiculous thing where you are competing against a teammate? This is just not right, this is sick. The thought of trying to put down a player whom you should support, not go up against and pressure them to keep their job week in and week out. That’s insane, isn’t, or am I the only that thinks that?

Birdville will play Lubbock Monterey on Saturday, December 1rst in Wichita Falls, kickoff at 2:00 P.M. The Hawks have the better record coming into this game, as they are undefeated at 12-0, the Plainsmen (Lubbock Monterey) come in at 9-3. Both team’s can score, so expect this one to be similar to that of the round one game against Azle.

NORTH RICHLAND HILLS: The Trinity Trojans (10-2) defeated the Mansfield Tigers (7-5) 28-7 Saturday afternoon at the Birdville Fine Arts Athletics Complex. All scores for Trinity occurred in the first-half, as the Tigers held the ball for the majority of the second half, trying to buy a score on offense. The Tigers, however didn’t have much success against an over-powering Trojan defense. Trinity’s second score came when Mansfield fumbled on their first kickoff return of the game, this was a 14 yard touchdown score by Woolley Turner of the Trojans. At halftime, Euless Trinity had built up a convincing 28-0 lead on the Tigers. The Tigers, though they didn’t do better in the second half than in the first half, were still able to muster more in the second half. This includes a late fourth-quarter touchdown, with around two minutes left in the game. Trinity, knowing what to expect got ready for an immediate onside kick, the Trojans recovered the kick and it was over. The Trojans will play the South Lake Carroll Dragons on Saturday, December 1rst at the Birdville Fine Arts Athletic Complex, kickoff is 6:00 P.M.

Birdville (12-0) defeated Crowley (10-2) in convincing fashion. — And if there was any-doubt, Xavier Turner has it all backed up, you know, just in case. — While we’re at it, Xavier, as you know dominated Azle in what was a crazy first-round game of the playoffs. If there was ever any doubt that Hawks quarterback Justin Martin wouldn’t get back on track after an unsettling round one performance, check again, the Senior bounced back. The Hawks seemed to clear all doubts in anyone’s minds, if any by making a commanding statement at halftime, not allowing a single score from the Eagles. It was 21-0 Birdville. There was no doubt that they were the better team, that is of course, for those with even a shade of a doubt, that is. The Birdville Hawks won this game because they’re that good. No doubts from anyone, anymore, as if anyone had any, that is. 45-21, was the final.

The New York Jets need change, and they need it now. — Rex Ryan can talk as much as he wants about change, but it doesn’t mean jack if his team can’t back his words up, right now the Jets are an abysmal 4-7.
The best thing he could, if anything at possible, would be to stop talking, stop making excuses, and somehow, have his team win Football games, because this is the National Football League.
— The fans don’t what talk, they’ve heard Ryan promise the media that his team would win the Super-Bowl numerous teams before, it didn’t happen.
For Jet’s fans, getting high hopes is something they are used to, for Ryan that’s a problem. It’s a problem when you can’t beat you’re conference rival who you have lost to four times in a row. The New York Jets, now more than ever are in need of dire straights of change, this too doesn’t have to be announced by Ryan, who really isn’t making things better for the Jet’s fan-base.
— Real change happens when people see it with their own two eyes, not when someone speaks of it. Those are two different things. New York hasn’t been able to show it, and as long as Rex Ryan’s in town, he’ll give plenty to fill the Media’s note-book’s, this however, doesn’t benefit much to the fans.
The fans of the Jets don’t deserve this, it’s not anymore fair than what Ryan has been feeding them this whole-time. There has been just too much talk, and to little change, if there’s something the Jets can do to help themselves, or keep their season on life-support it should be winning. — So far, Ryan’s team has underachieved. Time is running out in the Big Apple, and changes have to be made. — Don’t say it, just do it.
