Heading toward kickoff Lincoln vs. Mesquite Poteet at Mesquite Memorial.. 20 MPH wind from the north.. going to make an impact

Hey Kyle, today is the most important game for Allen, because its the next game.

Coachspeak? Jason Garrett?

Hope this winds die down a little by this evening.

Flight landing this morning in this wind = not the best.

Poteet kicking off (wind at back) to Lincoln

by davidmcnabb 11/23/2012 7:06:25 PM
The city of Allen hasn't been this pumped up since southlake, and players are well prepared for mesquite.

I'm going with the Mesquite upset.. they're similar to Coppell style but faster DBs.. Mesquite QB is playing lights out

by davidmcnabb 11/23/2012 7:08:13 PM
We'll see who's ready for whom, won't we, real? ;)

by Hmmm 11/23/2012 7:10:12 PM
Wixon chose Mesquite also, so that is another feather in the cap, lol

by Hmmm 11/23/2012 7:10:15 PM
Kyle, did the expected winds influence your Wylie East / Whitehouse pick?

by RaiderNation 11/23/2012 7:10:23 PM
No, I really didn't know who to pick.

by Kyle Whitfield 11/23/2012 7:11:12 PM
Poteet forces punt, tries home run into wind.. Lincoln junior Derrick Neal intercepts at Lincoln 22

Honesty is a refreshing policy. ;)

by Hmmm 11/23/2012 7:11:43 PM
Allen played was off the whole game against coppell, getting big headed. Mesquite does Not have the size or smarts as coppell. Oh, and Allen won't be playing that much back ups which helps a lot.

by real 11/23/2012 7:11:52 PM
will Allen be able to handle the mesquite pass game?

by skeeter dad 11/23/2012 7:11:54 PM
I think both teams are more than capable to handle each other's strengths...boy, does that sound like something Les Miles would say...

by Kyle Whitfield 11/23/2012 7:12:18 PM
Kyle, do they not allow you to abstain when making predictions?

by Hmmm 11/23/2012 7:12:38 PM
I could but why would I want to? I don't go to jail for being wrong and I don't get a bonus for being right.
