Documenting my travels and thoughts from around the country
Colorado & Texas (Week 12)
Well, this will be a brief update as I’ve been busy all week and don’t have time to recap a lot. This weekend, I hope to be in Texas for the at least four games. Either in Arlington at Cowboys Stadium (2 games Friday, 4 games Saturday) or maybe Plainview and Odessa.
Texas (Week 16)
Well, my travels found me in Dallas for the weekend. There were a few games I could’ve gone to, but only one that looked interesting. It was a 5A/4A state semifinal doubleheader at SMU’s Gerald S. Ford Stadium in Dallas.
In the UIL, the playoff dates, times, and locations are determined by the two participants by mutual consent (or by lot in the event of a disagreement). Denton ISD had two teams playing this weekend. 5A Denton Guyer and 4A Denton Ryan. By luck, they got their site selections for the semifinals and they chose to make it a doubleheader at Ford Stadium.
Texas (Week 5)
My little football odyssey continues in Texas this weekend.
I’ve seen this Cyclones Stadium several times in the past few years southeast of Amarillo and always said if I was in the area the day of a game, I’d check out a game.
So, that day was today. The Memphis Cyclones are a 1A-D2 school in Texas, were state champions in 1991, and currently 0-4 going into today’s game against White Deer.
