they rarely play anyone other than themselves.
Heard playing with themselves will lead to blindness 🤷🤣.

That Tabor game should be interesting. It's always been somewhat of mystery just how good (or bad) those NEPSAC teams are, as they rarely play anyone other than themselves.

Oak Ridge with a demanding schedule for them to start the season. Folsom vs MV should be fun

Last post by Reb72 - Jul 28, 2026, 08:10 PMQuote from: AztecPadre on Jul 15, 2026, 04:43 PMDecided to take a promotion that comes with full relo package to Austin Tx. They kept upping and upping the offer to convince me and they just did it. I have no clue what I am getting my self into by moving there, but first off where are the nice neighborhoods in and around ATX and besides Austin Westlake who can I become a fan of to follow for the next 10 years?
inching closer to a game at West Monroe
Wishing you the best with your move, my family is in San Antonio... basically one big city from Austin to SA

Last post by Cal 14 - Jul 28, 2026, 06:36 PMCongrats on your promotion, but here are things you'll want to know about Austin (and Texas, in general). I used to work in Austin a bunch in the late 20-teens.
1. Austin does get hot. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
2. TexMex is garbage.
3. Not all "Mexican" places in Texas are TexMex. No self-respecting Mexican joint would serve "queso".
4. Most "Mexican" food in Texas is terrible (don't let anyone tell you otherwise). Places there rarely take chances with bold flavors. For the first several years of going to Austin, the hottest hot sauce I had was at Taco Bell.
5. If you are driving down a road and see that the far right or left lane is completely open, don't be fooled. Those lanes are about to disappear without any signs or warnings.
6. The automatic u-turns under overpasses are awesome. Wish we had those in California.
7. The music scene in downtown, generally on 6th street, is fun to a point. A lot of college kids.
8. I hope you like bats (not the baseball kind) because Austin has a few overpasses and/or bridges where they live.
9. Don't be fooled by the "Keep Austin Weird" shirts in the airport. Austin is only weird relative to the rest of Texas. This isn't Portland.
10. Not all BBQ places in Austin, or Texas in general, are good. Stiles Switch on N Lamar Blvd was good back then. Please don't go to Rudy's. There was supposed to be some great place just outside of town, but I was told it often closed around 2 pm because it ran out of food.
11. For good ethnic food, Houston is probably your best choice. Just don't go there in June.
12. Don't expect good food in San Antonio along the River Walk. It's pretty, but every meal I've had there was terrible.
13. Jack Allen's Kitchen in Round Rock (Chisholm Trail Road) is a great farm-to-table restaurant. Also try Roaring Fork on Stoneblake Blvd in Austin.
14. There are an unusual few highways for such a big city in Austin. Some are toll roads.
15. Some drivers there are aggressive, but some seem to need written invitations to merge into your lane after you've given them space for the last 10 minutes.

Nice write up!.... Not sure Del Oro will have enough to get by Folsom or Oak Ridge in their league.... Week 2 game against Saint Francis Mountain View should be a good one!....

High School Football Discussion / Re: Arizona Scores & News
Last post by Wooderson - Jul 24, 2026, 10:56 AMUnfortunate circumstances have precipitated a game relevant to the national eight-man scene.
For context, despite what the name would indicate St. David is not a private school but rather a small Mormon community in southern Arizona. They're pretty consistently successful in our eight-man ranks, though they haven't won a title since the late nineties. Mancos appears to be Colorado's 2023 eight-man champion.
