Exactly. It is all Bush’s fault.

Bush does not care about black people.
Especially not if they are not exactly in his jurisdiction and the black major of said city is downright incompetent…

Guess where the levies didn’t break? Utah.
Utah is the whitest state there is. Coincidence? I think not…

91-0 is bad but the article said they are 7-0 and have outs ores their opponents by an average of 77 points a game!
This team is either a college caliber football team or they are playing in a lower division that they have no business being in.
They are stomping everyone out. This coach should be sending his JV/freshman squad out there at halftime lol.[/quote]
Aledo high has a real good team this year. They did get beat like 60 something to nothing a few years ago in the playoffs. Pretty sure I am right about that?
Also, the coach was going to the bottom of his depth chart in this 91 point blow out.
As for their division, in Texas it is purely based off of school size. There has been schools that do some crazy shit here to bring up the football programs. Building government assisted housing in nice neighborhoods to help get a certain type of player to be enrolled in their school. Rezoning school districts to fit player needs, while adding another high school to reduce total enrollment numbers to reduce class level=division. As far as Aledo’s football division, they are in class 4a, which is a very competitive division, with large high schools.

Someone in the comments did some fact checking:
"A couple of important parts of this story that the writer didn’t mention are that -
By the end of the 1st quarter, Aledo had taken out ALL of their starters.
By the 3rd quarter, Aledo was playing their THIRD string guys.
In the 3rd quarter, they agreed to a running clock system.
The officials could have called the game early."
So it looks like the dominant team was more than classy in trying to not make it a murder. As was said earlier, it’s not their responsibility to dumb down their game, it’s the defenses responsibility to stop them. I’m of the mindset that the officials should call the game, that way one team doesn’t bitch their way through (filing bullying complaints) and the other team can feel like they whooped some serious ass and not feel bad about it.[/quote]
Are you sure about the officials being able to call the game? From my understanding they couldn’t call the game, and now Texas is talking about making a ‘mercy rule’ where a game can be called 3rd quarter if opposing team is down by 60.

Apparently there was a mercy rule that the coach was unaware of.
Which doesn’t make sense cause the ref would probably be aware of it, and could have brought it up.

Negative. Texas does not have a ‘mercy rule’ right now in high school football

I’m not sure about anything there. That was the quote from the comments section. If they didn’t have that rule yet then as you said, they should do it now. I’m not sure why there would not be one in every division of every sport in every age group… just seems like a “just in case” thing.

No worries. I just wanted to clear that up. If there had been a mercy rule and wasn’t used this would be an entirely different topic.
Some points I would like to comment on, not sure if it has been addressed in this thread?
If the team just started to take a knee, in lets say the 3rd quarter? I would more upset about that if I was on the losing end.
The kids that were playing for the winning team ended up being 3rd string players. There is a chance that recruiters could be at the game(at the very least video of the game). These 3rd stringers still have to play hard because that might be their only chance to get recognized.
Calling this ‘bullying’ is the dumbest thing I have heard regarding sports in a long time.

Losing 91-0 builds character. There is no mercy rule in life.

I guess it really is no worse than knowing you sucked so bad that the game was stopped because no one else wanted to watch your beatdown…
I heard this on the radio today. The parents and the children that are in this league are alright with it.
Get ready the liberal people outside this community are going to bash these people.[/quote]
It’s sad that people are trying to use ‘bullying’ as a politically correct buzzword because it will cut the feet out from under what might actually be a successful campaign. The problem is real and the victims suffer immensely. Attaching it to bullshit like this going to trivialize the problem and people will no longer take it seriously.

Listening to this being discussed on The Ticket yesterday in Dallas on the drive home. They said Aledo scored 91 pts on only 36 plays of which the following:
2 INT’s
2 Fumbles
1 Blocked Punt
1 Kick off return
1 Punt return
EDIT: Above all occured in the 1st half.
accounted for 49 pts. The rest were offensive plays. No pun.
How do you tell a 3rd stringer to dial it down?[/quote]
-listen little timmy, you need to not try as hard anymore because the other team could have it’s feelings hurt, and because everyone is now a special snowflake we need to be more sensitive to that.
