Second largest high school crowd ever at Texas Stadium

Posted: Friday, November 24, 2006

Texas Stadium officials announced today's attendance as 46,339. That's the second largest crowd ever to watch a high school football game at the Irving stadium.

The largest crowd ever reported at a Texas high school football game was 49,500 at Texas Stadium when Plano met Port Neches-Groves in the 1977 state final.

Holy Crap!

Trinity fakes a punt in their own end of the field with the lead and it gets stuffed.

SLC gets the ball with a chance.

If that call came from the sideline and wasn't an adlib, I think we can eliminate Trinity coach Steve Lineweaver from consideration for the UNT job. Leading by five, in the fourth quarter, and they try a fake punt in their own end of the field. Southlake is fabulous, but that's giving them way too much respect. ohmy.gif

Punt it, go play defense, and make them go 80 yards.

If that was not an audible it was the worst coaching decision I've ever heard. To take the whole game and narrow it down to one play is inexcusable. He needs to apologize to his players for letting them down. I'm stunned!

What a game. Coach Peach Jr. who was in the radio booth sounded stunned over the decision to, not only try and pass the ball on the 3rd down by Trinity, which stopped the clock and preserving more time for SLC to work for the win, but then to try a the fake punt.

Amazing.

I would have been there had I not been on duty today. Still, I can't wait until these games are played in Tarrant County here in a couple of years.

I tried to go. We were 1/2 mile from Texas Stadium at 12:20, and we were still trying to get into a parking lot when the game reached halftime. What a complete dump that stadium and the entire area around it is.

I was at the Plano/PNG game in '77. The actual listed attendance was 49,953, so close to 50K. I think 4A was the top classification then too.

It's amazing that there were 46,300 to see a second round playoff game. Need any more proof Texas has the best high school football?

It was a great game, and both teams played well enough to win. My hat is off to the Trinity secondary. Dodge had a lot of time to throw, and they covered SLC about as well as you can ask someone to. I also give a hats off to the SLC offensive line who formed a nice pocket for Dodge all game and gave him more than enough time on most plays.

I would be curious to know the reasoning behind the fake punt call in that situation. I also was suprised to see them come out in shotgun and try to throw for the first down on the play before on an out and up. It seemed as though they felt like if they didn't get the first down, SLC would drive and win. I thought the defense had played well enough to trust, but it turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy for the Trojans.

I think you hit the nail on the head right there. Trinity went for it because they figured if they gave it to SLC they would score. There is very little chance I go for that in Trinity's position. They had a great Defense that had played well most of the game.

Trinity will be by far the hardest team that SLC will face this year.

Trinity had a HUGE defensive line but they were a non factor. I dont think they played up to their potential. Amazing talent on the field for both teams.

46,000 + for a HS that has enrollment of 5,000+. What could Dodge do with a college with an enrollment over 30,000 ?????????? That game had more of a big time college atmosphere than Ive ever experienced at any NT home game. (includes TCU,Baylor,NM St.,SMU).

I see what you are saying, but those were not all Carroll fans...people have been looking for this game for a while. You had a ton of people who came just for the game itself without allegiance to either side

On that same note, how many casual fans might find their way to Fouts Field with Dodge at the helm?

Point made...I think that Dodge would bring a large group of people that would come just to see if he could do what he has done at Carroll in Denton.

Hopefully we will be able to see if this is the case biggrin.gif

Quite a few Southlake boosters have already said they'd buy tickets and consider NT home games an extension of their Friday nights

      I would like them to be good enough to be Quad 1 but not too good to get Will Wade hired away because they're our only home game on the books for next year lol.

      UTSA Game Poll

      UTSA is 4-0 at home and 0-5 away for 4-5 overall. NT is 3-2 at home and 2-2 away for 5-4 overall. They haven't gone thru the 3 game gauntlet NT has. Homer says we'll win by 14.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      figure one main thread to keep track of how our opponents are faring. the AAC is off to a pretty strong start...overall record of 29-7. plus currently Oregon State, High Point and Utah State / St. Bonaventure are all 3-0 - Memphis (2-0) with two quality wins v. Mizzou and UNLV. they should be undefeated (though San Francisco isn't a gimmie) heading into a 11/25 game with UCONN. - UAB (2-1)...I thought their loss to Vermont wouldn't look too bad, but UV has two pretty ugly losses now. really intriguing game tomorrow 11/15 v. High Point - FAU (2-1) look tough...their loss was by 6 to UCF who already beat then 13th A&M. - the other undefeated teams, ECU (3-0), Temple (3-0), Tulane (3-0), Tulsa (3-0), Wichita St. (2-0) collectively really haven't played much of a schedule...best win is probably WSU over WKU...but they've made pretty light work of what's in front of them. Games of interest over the next week or so: 11/14 - Northern Iowa @ Wichita State 11/15 - UAB @ HighPoint ; Temple @ Boston College ; FAU v. Charlston and Liberty (11/16) 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next)

      Sure but how good is Charlotte? They beat Richmond who lost to Marist. Utah State's other D1 win is against 0-3 Alcorn State who lost to an NAIA school. Again too early to really tell either way.

      they dropped 100 on a conference mate. currently 47 in KenPom. Memphis is at 37 and currently our highest rated opponent.
