What about the cowboys in the 90s?
weren't there a few shootings and gun charges and stuff players got away with?
I could be crazy, I'm mostly just remembering lines from King of the Hill

Most people really have no idea how big a deal high school football is in Texas. Recruiters come from all over the country to Texas to find players for Universities. When you see big name college players in Florida or Alabama or wherever it may be, half those guys are from Texas high schools.
This is the football stadium where my sons went to high school.
They put $60 million dollars into building that for high school kids. it seats 18,000 people and for Texas that isn't even that impressive, its only 5th largest in the state.
That is so fucking insane...

Is it assault if the guys kicks you in the nuts first?
He was simply telling the dude he would tap that ass after the match.

Big time. My wife and I weren't too happy with our taxes going through the roof to pay for all the stuff they've been building. The Science Center for the high school they are building is another 36 million. The local government is apeshit crazy about providing an environment that attracts even more money to the city because people want their kids to go to a school like that. Its raised property values and taxes so high that we wouldn't even be able to afford to move here now. We just happened to purchase a house before it all exploded and got lucky.

that isnt even real football.
This is real football and it is super to handball. But yeah it does seem boring if the highlight of week is a high school game. I mean its a high school. I think only if you in high school and play at the games and get laid after is that highlight or something.

I'm telling you, that high school is out of control. The money flowing in to these state champion sports programs is unreal. I'm not even sure how its legal because a lot of stuff must be going on under the table. 6 consecutive state championships in shooting, 9 consecutive state championships in wrestling, and 4 or 5 state championships in football which is really hard to do in Texas.
Allen Eagles Win 6th Consecutive Texas State Championship
The Allen Eagles Competitive Shooting Team won the High Overall Team Championship by a margin of 42 targets out of 1500 over the Southlake Carroll Target Program who earlier this year placed first in the North Texas League by 29 targets over the Eagles out of 4500 shot in nine league events.

They also have the Allen Eagle Escadrille which is the largest high school marching band in America with over 700 members.
The Allen Escadrille claims to be the country's largest high school marching band, with a membership of over 700 students. They play for the 6A football team, participate in competitions and perform in parades and other venues. The Escadrille was invited to perform in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 2009, and performed in the 2006 Rose Parade as well as the 2016 Rose Parade in Pasadena, California. It received the Sudler Shield Award from the John Philip Sousa Foundation in 2004. It was also a participant in the 1994 St. Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin, Ireland, being the only high school band chosen to play at the Dublin Lord Mayors Ball;

I cant believe I'm saying this, never would have imagined myself saying this a few years ago, but.....
I honestly feel like football should be banned in school except for college. I mean think about this...we are allowing literal children, like kids as young as what, 10? Ten fucking years old.........were letting them sign up for a massive dose of guaranteed CTE. Permanent damage to the most important organ in the human body, and we treat it like any other sport. You may say, well its the parents responsibility to decide if they should avoid it. Well, the average person and thus average parent is a fucking moron. I'm astonished every single day at just how stupid and illogical the average person is. So no I dont feel like they should hold the right to allow little Jimmy to get his brains permanently scrambled from ages 10-18 if he wants.

Singled out the smallest kid and smashed him all game. He would have been laughing at the ban he got and will feel like he can do it again because the punishment was so weak.

If some punk did that to my kid I'd run out there and knock his ass out. And his dad's and brother's if they try anything

In some cases there has to be PED's involved but also the city has built a ton of infrastructure that attracts money, and in sports, sports at all levels, money matters almost more than any other factor.

This is what I was about to post. The kid got tackled alright. 76 should have walked away straight away. Honestly, 76 may have been trying to help him up.. But then the kid kicks him in balls lol.Is it assault if the guys kicks you in the nuts first?
It was deserved when you look at it like this.

Allen's enrollment is what, 7k? Of course they're a powerhouse on every level. They were just another decent program when I played against them but their enrollment was around 3k same as everyone elses. I'd Allen up against any school in the nation. last I checked, they were #3 in the country
