Since we've had time to (somewhat) get over the fact that our Saints got screwed, let's look at surprising facts surrounding the big game.

There is an East Texas-native in the NFL that could very well be playing for a Super Bowl title this year.

Who will win the championship next year?

The Lufkin Panthers lost a tough one this season to a team that's now about to play for a state championship, so you might say we helped toughen them up on their journey to the state title game.

The college football bowl season (also known as cozy-pants-and recliner-season) starts this Saturday, and Texas is hosting nine of these big games over the next three weeks. There are four Texas teams playing in bowl games this year.

Was that win over the Cowboys enough to spur something deeper within the Texans?

Tomorrow, the Lumberjacks will be traveling to San Antonio to take on the University of the Incarnate Word Cardinals.

Marching bands add so much to the atmosphere at high school football games, that it's hard to imagine what the game would be like without them. It's not Friday Night Lights without the band, and we've got three reasons why these dedicated students deserve a big high five this weekend.

What are the odds that the Cowboys will go 16 and 0 this season? I say 50-50. Either they will or they won't. The NFL season is near, and with that comes some trash talkin' by arm-chair quarterbacks about which games they'll win and why. So let the not-so-expert analysis begin.
