05 DGIC

I’m sure everyone would join him on the sidelines and laugh.
Some redneck football fans would love to give him a hug.

So some of yall actually dont know who he is.. HAHA... thats almost as funny as this forum gets sometimes...

But for the record... Would solve zilch to out him... Either you know him, figure it out... Or ya just don't.

Your are spot on. I have no clue who he is.
I’m just going to go bakers some cookies now.

I’m offended that BigE called out his coach’s husband on this forum. Shameful.

Big E is right ! All living through their kids, redneck? I think rednecks are fun, these punks celebrate taunting young athletes. Maybe they have small horns. Those same “small” horns calling out a young athletes on the field, or “ pull their hair!” Makes me want to put my boot in your mouth. Coast
To coast some parents just don’t get it . Talk to the ref, to another parent If you must, just let the girls alone to play!

Let’s just be clear. I’ve seen all types giving kids crap on the fields. Isn’t just large rednecks that watch football doing it either.
This would include white, black, other countries, men, women, rich and poor giving kids crap on the field. It’s not just s Tx thing.
Big E will be outed soon enough, and those rednecks can address it themselves.

Oh yes to be sure ! It’s all over - it’s not race driven . It’s juat idiots not having self control - yet they yell at a 12 year old for being passionate or losing control in a heated game. Bottom line is it’s if you can’t take the heat get out of the kitchen ! Don’t come if you cannot behave. Leave the kids alone.

1) Both leagues have good teams and bad teams. I believe this tournament allowed us to see which league has the best good teams and which one has the worst bad teams.

2) Solar DA, FCD DA, Texans ECNL and Feet ECNL are very close. It is unfortunate that Feet matched up with Texans in the quarters, I would have liked to see them square off against Solar or FCD.

3) 05 Celtic did well and proved why they should be in ECNL. I believe their 06 team also made it to the Semis.

4) Energy struggled against lower level ECNL teams. For comparison, they tied FCD ECNL this weekend where TSC ECNL beat them 5-1 and they lost to Solar ECNL 2-0 where TSC beat them 3-0. I always root for Oklahoma teams but their style of play is not going to be great for DA.

5) USSF is ruining girls soccer by splitting up this talent.

Agreed and to expand on 3. Several of the non-DA-ECNL teams performed well. When I looked at the brackets when they first came out I didn't think any of these teams would do as good as they did.

Very interesting. Foxy will need some time to let this all digest.

He once coached a u10 team to victory against the Mexican national team because the us national team missed the plane.

He quietly texts lineup changes to lw from the sidelines when the game is close.

He modestly asked fcd to name the stadium after Toyota and not himself.

When the Texans wanted to charge for parking at digc.....he paid them himself and asked that it be kept quiet.

While on his honeymoon with kw to teach soccer in Columbia they fought off an entire drug cartel with only soccer balls and corner flags.

In Las Vegas he drank all the other coaches under the table and had to coach all the Texas teams the next day because they didn't wake up on time.

He talked Lamar hunt into starting a soccer team while on a hunting trip.

Years ago when go99 didn't know there was a soccer board bige told him to get on it and just be himself.

While drinking at baby dolls he invented the FBR and wrote all the algorithms on a napkin.

He is the most interesting man in ntx soccer!

Most interesting or most wanted?

Celtic 05 feeling pretty good about our tournament. It was fun to play some really good teams. We saw where we can improve and what we are doing well. Btw-our QF against Solar DA also went to PK’s.

Some of the rednecks are too busy picking a banjo or sipping moonshine to learn something.

Down goes 4-4-2!

Congrats to Texans ECNL on winning back-to-back DGIC titles. They answered the question if anyone has closed the gap with a definitive NO!! DTS still has more athletes than anyone else, and they show up to play.
My takeaway from this weekend was that nothing has really changed in the 05 landscape. Talent has not been concentrated anymore than it was last season, despite arguments to the contrary. Not in DA, not in ECNL. What I saw was talent still spread out all over the place. No one has a monopoly on the top talent. No one is training with the best talent in the age group day in and day out. Solar DA, FCD DA, Feet, Sting ECNL all appear to still be fairly even. These teams can beat one another any given day. All have a good core of players, and all have deficiencies. I don't see that changing in the coming season either. Some players may move from DA to ECNL, and vice versa, but overall, things will probably remain the same. Unless as someone pointed out earlier... DTS players decide to go DA route. If so, does Coach A go with them? I'm not sure this team performs the same w/o him. He seems to get the most out of them.

Sounds like this could be the greatest 12 yr old team to set foot on the pitch. Alert bige.

So I heard it actually happened.

A team, I believe someone said DTS, put a field player on goal with bib and no gloves, when their goalie was sick, and actually WON two games, one of them being a semi-final game.

KC, I can now claim that I own you.......................if what I heard is true.

The player you speak of spent years playing goalie and in the field.. So not exactly a field player with zero experience...

Great kid and family I should add.

Someone who has been on this forum as long as you have should be more informed.
ATP is right DTS uses this player all the time in goal. Good to have backup keeper. Plus she has keeper jersey and gloves.
Pele I now own you..............If what I say is true. And it is.

5) USSF is ruining girls soccer by splitting up this talent.

It won't be as split next year.

What's going to change in your opinion? DTS moving to DA?
Outside of that happening, the split will remain.

This weekend was a good showing for the DTS Girls and DT West team (which in MY,Not everyones) competed in the hardest bracket. Not so much for the DT DA team. A couple of parents did inform that DTS would most likely move to DA and DT West will move over to ECNL. Apparently, JD and GA were at each other other games this weekend evaluating the situation and maybe even players.

IMHO, there is no reason from DTS not to be in DA they are an amazing group. Looks like DT West held their own in a hard bracket vs Dash and Feet.

@KC, in the spirit of Easter Monday, I give it to you although I have been reliably told that the so-called 'back-up goalie' is technically a field player and haven't played goalie in quiet some time.  DTS back-up goalie was out of town this DIGC weekend.

I give it to you that the player in question is really talented and can do field or goalie without missing a beat. 

Dili-dili?

No I did not mean she was not a field player, she is. However she plays a significant amount of time in goal as well. At least from what I have seen and heard.
She was not a field player standing in goal with a bib and no gloves as my previous smartass comment was stating to be absurd.

Is Coach A licensed to coach DA?

Confused ......this player plays backup goalie with no goalie training. Years in goal?  I don’t think so.   She is a field player who every coach she has had reaches out to her as a backup because she is an all around athlete. But she doesn’t show up at a tryout for goal. No goalie jersey/kit.
