Woo Hoo!  DeSoto High School class of 1991.  Of course, in 1991 our only state champions were the marching band. My how things have changed.

Plus Denton since that's where Desoto got its QB from, right?

Don't forget Saginaw Chisholm Trail, because that is where Denton Guyer got him from as Robinson started there as a freshman. That dude was the starting varsity QB at three high schools in four years.

Since he graduates in December, he will have attended Desoto for a total of ALMOST four months. Kinda cheapens that state title in my opinion. 

Wonder where Robinson will land after he gets tired of TCU?

Both parents are coaches. They seem to go where the jobs are. (Just like any other family in America) Nothing cheap about a State Championship at DeSoto; where they have been a game away from the title game for 3 or 4 years.  That Kyler Murray transfer into Allen High didn't help their chances. Never heard a DeSoto fan ever complain. Of course none of the Denton schools have ever benefitted from a key transfer.

I think Disney is gonna make a movie about this Desoto team: a ragtag bunch of super recruits and sons of professional athletes that just can't win the big game until the athletic director offers the mother of the top QB in the country a well-paying job in the school district in exchange for transferring her son on the team. It is the ultimate underdog story!!!

This has been going on since the 80s, at the very least.

Ragtag bunch? What a disgusting post. There always has to be some scandal when it involves schools south of downtown Dallas.

You mean other than a history of cheating? And not just in south Dallas, I'm guessing you missed the thread @FirefightnRick started where loads of folks discussed the massive amount of transfers...

It was a sarcastic post mimicking countless movie previews. I hope the post that disgusted you and made me laugh didn't force you to a safe zone with therapy dogs.

      🙄 like I have stated before DC under a lame duck coach is not a highly desired job for coaches with options.

      That is very subjective. Boise State or UNLV probably will get the G5 spot in the playoff over a one loss Army team. Louisville, SMU, Houston, Rutgers and Cincinnati left conference for greener pastures. So I don’t know who anointed the AAC as 5th, but the playoff committee isn’t listening to them. Army, a team brand new to the conference that came into the conference and dominated. They were independent juggernauts last year at 6-6 🙄. AAC is viewed as better than the MAC, CUSA and Sun Belt. But we certainly won’t be viewed as better than the reconstructed PAC 12 and right now it doesn’t look like we are viewed better than the current MWC.

      Football at The Dat next wrekend

      Don't if y'all know this or not.....but the last two years we've had Texas high school football games played in Louisiana. Both years the games have been at Turpin Stadium in Natchitoches. As a matter of fact, this year they hosted two games on the same day. (Daingerfield versus Newton, and Texarkana versus Port Neches Grove). Both games were last Friday.

      The exact same thing was probably thought by other fan bases about Eric, Seth, Dan, and any other head coach we’ve hired here.
