\\u2022 A tweet from Greg Tepper at Texas Football this week says there are 31 matchups between undefeated teams (just 11-man, probably) in Texas this week: No. 10 Connally vs. No. 2 China Spring, Bartlett at Itasca and Blooming Grove at Wortham. Out of the four Centex teams in that mix, how many will still be undefeated going into next week?

\\u2022 Let\'s talk about the University Trojans after a heartbreaking loss to Arlington Heights last week. Despite their 1-2 record, it seems like the Trojans are trending in the right direction. Do you think that\'s the case, and can they make a run at a playoff spot?

\\u2022 One of the best stories of 2021 was Marlin, with an 11-4 record and run to the state semifinals. Now the Bulldogs are 0-3. Every year there are teams that start slowly and turn it around to make deep playoff runs. Does Marlin have that capability?

\\u2022 We\'ve already referenced "Friday Night Lights" a few times this season, so let\'s keep the streak going. Odessa Permian is the Panthers and everyone knows they have an alternate nickname, Mojo. Central Texas has a few of these as well in the U-Dawgs, Modoc and The Comma. Which of those is your favorite, and are we leaving any good ones out around the area?
