WE HAVEN'T LEFT JUST TAKING THAT SUMMER FALL BREAK
THAT'S RIGHT....WE ARE STILL HERE AND HAVEN'T LEFT.....CURRENTLY WE ARE WORKING ON KICKING OFF 2018 AND SEEKING TO DO THINGS A BIT DIFFERRENT. IN BRINGING 2017 TO A CLOSE THERE'S STILL A LOT OF FOOTBALL GOING ON. ALL SORTS OF EXHIBITION GAMES AND BOWL GAMES BEING SPONSORED OR HOSTED BY THE TEAMS THEMSELVES OR OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. HERE IN TEXAS SEMI PRO ELITE HAS TAKEN SOME HUGE STEPS IN BRINGING MORE MATCHES AND FOOTBALL GAMES TO TEXAS AND THAT IS SOME REFRESHING NEWS AS SOMEONE ELSE ENTERS THAT ARENA OF PROMOTING MINOR LEAGUE FOOTBALL IN TEXAS.
LEAGUES ARE TRYING TO BOLSTER UP THEIR MEMBERSHIPS AND SOME WILL LOSE TEAMS SOME WILL GAIN TEAMS AS IS TYPICAL.
ONE OF THE MOST ASKED QUESTIONS OR TALKED ABOUT SUBJECT IS THE $10,000.00 PRIZE THE CRAFL HAS ADVERTISED. BEST PLACE TO GET THE ANSWERS IS CALL THE CRAFL. FIND OUT WHAT IT'S ABOUT AND IF INTERESTED DEFINITELY JOIN THEIR LEAGUE. ONE THING IS FOR SURE THEY ARE PUTTING PRESSURE ON OTHER LEAGUES OR MAYBE THE TEAMS TO DECIDE WHAT IT IS THEY REALLY WANT. IS IT ABOUT MONEY? IS IT ABOUT COMPETITION? IS ABOUT JUST WANTING CHANGE? WHAT EVER THE RESPONSE IS IT HAS CERTAINLY REDEFINED THE LEAGUE TERRITORIES FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD. THE BOUNDARIES ARE BEING REDRAWN AND APPEARS TO HAVE SERVED MUTI PURPOSES BY FORCING LEAGUES TO REDO AND RETHINK THEIR PHILOSPHY. LEAGUES ARE BEING PUT IN A POSITION THAT MAKES THEM REVISIT AND RETHINK WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO OFFER TO COMPETE WITH THE $$$$ SIDE OF IT. THERE ARE TEAMS WHICH CAN'T AFFORD TO TRAVEL AND IT BECOMES A MATTER OF FINANCES, ECONOMICS, LOGISTICS, MANAGEMENT AND OTHER UNSEEN ISSUES WHICH DEFINE THE TYPE OF PLAYERS A TEAM WILL HAVE ON THEIR ROSTER.
AS THE END OF THE YEAR DRAWS NEAR WE WILL BEGIN LEARNING WHAT THE 2018 LEAGUES IN TEXAS ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE. LSMLFNEWS WILL START BRINGING YOU MORE INFORMATION ON WHERE TEAMS ARE GOING TO LAND BECAUSE SOMEOF THEM ARE STILL UNCERTAIN AND TRYING TO MAKE UP THEIR MIND.
AS IT STANDS NOW, THERE ARE 3 TEAMS OUT OF TEXAS THAT WILL BE COMPETING IN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP LEVEL GAMES WITH A POSSIBLE 4TH ON THE HORIZON. THOSE GAMES WILL TAKE PLACE THE TURN OF THE YEAR IN JANUARY.
WE HAVE PLANS TO BRING SOME EXCITING FOOTBALL TO THE STATE OF TEXAS.
THE OFF SEASON IN TEXAS IS LIKE IN SEASON..... TALK AND TALK AND WHEEL AND DEAL AND FLIP AND FLOP FOR TEAMS AND PLAYERS. TEAMS MOVE AND PLAYERS DO THE SAME. SOME JUST FLAT BS AND DON'T WANT ANYONE TO REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO. EVERYONE, EVERY TEAM WANTS TO BE THE DRIVING AND DECIDING FORCE. WHETHER IT'S A LEAGUE, A TEAM, A PLAYER, A COACH, OR A MANAGER. THEY ARE ALL OUT TO PROVE THEY ARE THE MAN, THEY ARE THE TEAM, THEY ARE THE LEAGUE, THEY ARE THE COACH......WITH SOCIAL MEDIA WHAT IT IS TODAY.....?? IT CAN MAKE MICE OF MEN, LOSERS OF WINNERS, LIES OUT OF TRUTH, MEN OF MICE, WINNERS OF LOSERS, AND TRUTH OUT OF LIES....DEPENDING ON HOW ONE WANTS TO LOOK AT THINGS.
DEPENDING ON WHOSE MOUTH IT COMES OUT OF. DEPENDING ON WHO ACTS ON SOMETHING. DEPENDING ON WHO IS WILLING TO TAKE THE RISK. DEPENDING IF A PLAYER, A TEAM, A LEAGUE, A COACH, OR AN OWNER IS WILLING TO GO THE EXTRA MILE IN THEIR BELIEF AND LOVE FOR THE GAME OF FOOTBALL.
YOU CAN'T CHEAT THE GAME THOUGH, IT WILL CATCH UP TO YOU, IT WILL HIT YOU BACK, IT WILL BITE YOU BACK , IT WILL TALK BACK TO YOU WHEN YOU ARE ALONE, IT WILL HAUNT YOU, TILL YOU PAY YOUR DUES. NO ONE DECIDES WHEN....THE GAME DOES!
REMAIN LOYAL TO THE GAME OR IT WILL CATCH UP TO YOU...AND WILL GET BACK EVERY BIT OF RESPECT YOU OWE IT!
DO IT FOR LOVE OF THE GAME!!
DTFA ALL STARS VERSUS MPFL ALL STARS
IN AN ALL STAR GAME WHICH WAS OF HISTORIC NATURE THE DTFA SQUEAKED BY THE THE MPFL BY A SCORE OF 21 - 19. THE GAME WHICH WAS AS AN ALL STAR GAME NORMALLY IS, STARTED SLOW BUT ONCE THE PLAYERS STARTED GETTING INTO IT THE GAME GOT INTERESTING.
IT WAS IN A SENSE A DAVID VS GOLIATH AS THE LEAGUES HAVE BEEN LOOKED UPON AS BEING THE BEST AND THEN THE FLIP SIDE OF BEING BELOW AVERAGE DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE LEAGUE. THE MPFL HAS LONG BEEN KNOWN FOR THEIR STRENGTH AND HIGH RANKING TEAMS AND THE DTFA FOR HAVING RANKED TEAMS AS WELL. THE PLAYERS BADGER EACH OTHER ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND GO BACK AND FORTH ALL THE TIME. WELL ON THIS NIGHT AUGUST 12, 2017 THE DTFA WON.
THE MPFL HAD AN AN OPPORTUNITY TO STEAL THE VICTORY FROM THE JAWS OF THE DTFA. THE MPFL ATTEMPTED A FIELD GOAL AT THE END OF THE GAME MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO PENALTIES. EACH ATTEMPT TO STEAL THE VICTORY WAS WIDE. PENALTIES ON THE PART OF THE DTFA KEPT THE HOPES OF THE MPFL UP BUT IT JUST WAS NOT TO BE ON THIS NIGHT. THERE WERE AT LEAST 2 FAILED ATTEMPTS UNTIL THE FINAL ATTEMPT WENT WIDE TO GIVE THE DTFA A WIN.
THERE WAS MORE THAN THAT TO THE GAME AS IN THE FINAL 5 MINUTES THERE WERE TURNOVERS VIA THE FUMBLE AND THE INTERCEPTIONS ON THE PART OF BOTH TEAMS. IT HAD TO DO WITH PRIDE AND THE DESIRE TO NOT GIVE IN TO THE OTHERS WILL. EACH TEAM BECAME HUNGRIER FOR THE WIN AND IT SHOWED ON THE FIELD.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE DTFA, THE DAVID (THE LITTLE GUYS) OF TEXAS MINOR LEAGUE FOOTBALL, FOR THEIR WIN OVER THE MPFL, THE GOLIATH (THE BIG GUYS) OF TEXAS MINOR LEAGUE FOOTBALL.
THE DTFA REGARDLESS OF THE WIN WILL REMAIN AS DAVID THE LITTLE GUYS, BUT JUST GAINED A HUGE AMOUNT OF RESPECT AND HAVE A WIN WHICH NO ONE CAN DENY OR TAKE AWAY.
DTFA ALL STARS 21 MPFL ALL STARS 19
