    Argyle is probably one of the richest communities in the DFW metroplex, only overdone by maybe Southlake and the Highland Park area. Take that for what it's worth.

    If this place is the one I'm thinking of, I've been there and you'd need a party of 40 to spend that much.

    One of them fancy type places where the apple pies come without teeth marks?

    Well, I read the thread title and thought ONE LINEMAN ate $700-plus worth of meat.

    Fuck that. If I'm ordering a good apple pie, I want to know someone else has approved.

    I guess this isn't the place Trifecta was thinking about.

    Check the menu for Silver Fox in Grapevine, Texas. If the kid took his linemen and their dates -- at least a dozen people? -- $733 isn't all that big a bill:

    Denton Record-Chronicle should cover this school. Should. Then again, they pulled up stakes from Collin County, the third-fastest growing county in the nation at the time so it wouldn't surprise me if they gave up on the lucrative area south of Denton, too.

    Gaining 1,000 yards, regardless of the number of games, is a milestone.

    My opinion anyway.

    In a pass-oriented offense it is, but in 12 games that isn't very good at all. Hell, we have four rushers in our coverage area over 2,000 yards in 12 games and plenty over 1,000.

    Same here. Hell, we had a kid two years ago with 3,035 yards.

    The story came from the Denton Record-Chronicle.

    The UIL only acts promptly when a high-profile 5A school is involved (for example Dallas Carter circa 1988) ... if they even bother to look at this at all.

    I've seen (and written about) two instances in the last five years where a small-school team cheated blatantly — one used an ineligible player despite the UIL executive committee ruling him ineligible, and another team conducted an illegal scrimmage before playing an undefeated team in the regional semifinals — and the UIL did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about it until the playoffs were over.

    Those schools got their wins taken away by forfeit later, but that's no consolation to the teams sitting at home while the cheaters play on.

    Is this a case of cheating? In my opinion, absolutely not. But if it were, I seriously doubt the UIL will do anything about it.
