I played pop warner in odessa from 1980 83 tailback for the noel saints parents got calls from coach gaines asking if i was going to permian or O.H.S lol moved to California went to college ran a 4.4 40 why gaines wanted me
sounds like your banner wording is wrong. Ours doesn't lie. We were state champions in 84. Not our fault you guys word it differently. Be proud! Furthermore looking into any champion high school or college no one puts co-anything. Colorado didn't, Georgia Tech Didn't.
Played High School ball in Central Texas in the 90’s. We heard about Permian but never respected their program. Mainly because they treated their minority players like sht and only a few players became D1 phenoms. Another reason is without the chop block, that book is never written. After losing to our team, we witnessed a coach tell black players “You n- hurry up and get on the bus!” Totally lost respect for that program after witnessing that. I take nothing away from the players only the BS behind the scenes. Going undefeated and winning a State championship in Texas is almost impossible.
I read the book. It was a mid-30’s New York Jewish man pointing out every perceived negative he could find while spending time with hospitable Texas high school students.
They banned the chop block or cut block. They were Jedi Maters at that BS. After that, the program went down hill. Had to play smash mouth helmet to helmet afterwards and it didn’t work out for them.
@@bravo23delta90 It is true. I'm from Odessa. Once the chop block went away, Permian did too. Zone Blocking scheme, Same with the NFL, college etc. Why do you think the RB position is of so low value currently?
You can learn more about some Negro League players from the 40's and 50's on my Channel. My dad saw many play in the PCL and MLB. He has many autographs from many players, including Ty Cobb, Willie Mays, Larry Doby...
I didn't read the book. I didn't see the movie as bad press. It had different angles of football but there are communities all over that put a lot of focus on football or another sport. Did this talented team all grow up in Odessa or did OP get some transfers (due to the publicity)?
