7-0 gumps

14-6 stratford at half

Do guys still whiz on the wall in the Tully men's bathroom?

I just had a flashback to the most jacked up roided out vato at my HS wearing an undersized naughty dog tshirt that he took off some tough guy. We weren't even rivals; think he just ran into them at a party.

33-14 memorial.

Incredible

40-14 Memorial. Score looks like a property tax comparison.

My son goes to Stratford (and a daughter will soon) but I'll give credit where credit's due. It was hilarious when, a few years back, those memorial a-holes shoe polished a bunch of cars with "too poor for 024."

I've told this story before on here but it bear repeating.

Back in the day, our high school marching band wore white shoes ...basically, nurses shoes.

Our halftime schtick was entering the field from all four sides, so that meant a quarter of us would be positioned against the opponent's stands just before the end of the half.

We were playing Memorial at home and we were all bunched up next to the stands so we didn't block the spectators' view. A kid yelled out, "Hey!"

I looked up, and he looked right at me and said "My maid wears better shoes than you."

Nothing I could do but just laugh.

What was that dork that ran into the car trying to do?? What an idiot!

I remember back in mid 90's when my sister was at Elsik, they played memorial.

The first play was a 60+ yard rushing TD by Elsik. I think they won that game like 50+ to nothing.

While they were comparing Alief to memorial and "winning", it was funny to watch an all white boy team get slaughtered.

Supposedly he was trying to drop a smoke bomb in their car. Major fail. Catastrophic broken leg somehow...

Laughed my ass off at that one.

Stratford and Spring Woods need to form an alliance and keep these little Hedwig Hamas maggots within their little Elysium sectors. Don't let them cross I-10 or Beltway 8. (Sorry, took an edible to chill but think it was sativa so I'm creative and full of energy)

Serious question, do Memorial kids **** talk to Northbrook or Spring Woods kids?

Nope, just the "poor" kids at Stratford who live in $900k 2500 SF shanties off Wilcrest and Kirkwood.

Plus, they don't want it with the ese's.

I have college friends with kids at both. If there was an HPHS of Houston it would be MHS. If the park cities had a second high school like UPHS that would be SHS.

Ironically the richer friends I have are SHS parents. You can't buy a tear down even on the "poor side" for less than a million.

I hope this thread never dies

For a typical conservative Aggie family, which high school do you think kids and parents would be happier at?

---

A lot of Memorial kids to tu and Baylor. It's kind of the mentality of Memorial. The school with its own parking garage on Echo Lane wins a lot of country club sports. I would think the pressure would be tough on kids who aren't in the right circles. Stratford has more regular kids in a good school that does a lot more dual credit with community colleges.

Only if they're forced to acknowledge their existence on the other side of I-10 … which they don't. FYI … there are a few streets north of I-10 that are zoned to Memorial and Stratford. You may want to check those out.

All I know is that Tully Stadium was awesome back in the day.

Every now and then a thread like this one comes back to life, and I read the whole thing without remembering any of it.

Then I see a brilliant comment and I think to myself, "Damn, I totally agree with that statement!"

Only to realize I was the one who posted it.

ETA: My high school had the honor -- or misfortune -- of being the only non-Spring Branch school in District 17-4A, I believe it was. So we had as many games at Tully as we did at home.

---

When Westchester was a powerhouse, it was scary driving from Aldine (where I grew up) to Tully. We were outclassed in every possible way. I sure they thought we were low rent. It was the whitest football crowd (before Aldine integrated). It's sad that school no longer exists.

My year…. Ancient history ago. A&M was the more popular choice. Plenty of Memorial folks attend A&M. Plenty attend Texas as well.

As much as things change… things still stay the same. lol.

Talk about first world problems in this thread.

Memorial doesn't have a parking garage. That garage there is for the office building.

Big rivalry and both sides will tell you that their side/school is better

Memorial did win district in football this year for the first time ever since being in the Cy-fair district

Not sure I agree that Stratford has more regular kids or that pressure is more at memorial. There are good kids and bad kids at both schools. As a parent and as a kid, finding "your group of friends " is important.

Both schools are some of the best public schools in Houston and you can't really go wrong with either school

Memorial is a stronger academic school, but that can also not be a good thing. If you want to get the auto admit to texas or A&M, this is more difficult

Lots of memorial students end up both at texas and A&M. These are the 2 most popular schools by far. Plenty of students also do Blinn team and Acc route to get to Austin

Lots of students are also headed to other SEC schools because they can't get into texas or A&M and don't want to not get their preferred major (business and engineering primarily)

I was surprised to see the Kroger (at Echo and Gaylord) get shutdown for underperformance given its proximity to MHS. Are there any plans for that space?

Sprouts is taking part of the Kroger space. The area and 77079 could use another HEB and/or Central Market. Bunker Hill has gotten even more crowded.

it is odd that Houston only has one Central Market. Don't see that changing though.

Would imagine that Kroger location is too small for either in any case.

Oh, if we are splitting hairs, Memorial likely has more trust fund kids than Stratford. By how much? Don't know. But, in terms of vibe, Memorial has one step further into the country club than Stratford does (metaphorically speaking).

Lots of theft by MHS students.

Stratford's baseball team is going to be really, really good this spring.
