Big words coming from a powerhouse football program like bridge chity

Now we're going to discuss the differences between debating and arguing? Unbelievable.. By the way, I can assure you that I'm not taking anything personal. I'm not the one using exclamation points in my posts.. as if your emotion will make your point stronger. It won't. You should be happy.. I've long since become bored with this debate/argument (whatever you wanna call it). You think that a coach is only elite because of championships. I don't. You think an elite coach (according to your definition) can win anywhere and with anyone. I don't. Signing out of this circus.

I guess it is time to go the cheerleader route and just nominate every damn player in the area to keep everyone happy.

You use two different people’s opinions to show hypocrisy? Just for sake of the discussion, a death sentence is carried out on a person convicted of a heinous crime of taking another human life. A baby in the womb has committed the heinous crime of….. what?

No.. the debate is whether or not an "elite coach" can make a school like Tarkington (with zero relative success in their past) into an elite program. Then the debate turned into what makes a coach an elite coach. Your opinion, as stated multiple times, is that having won a state title or more makes you an elite coach. It is argued by me.. and everyone else in this thread.. that it takes much more than just being a good coach to win a state title. It is also argued that not Art Briles.. nor Scott Surrat.. nor Buchanan.. nor Tom Westerberg could go to Tarkington and win a state title in the relative future without a substantial influx of above average ability. I'd bet every dollar I have that they couldn't go there at the same time and win it all within 6 years with the kids Tarkington ISD has right now. Will they get tremendously better? No question.. Will they improve? Without a doubt? But I'll bet on Tarkington's football history over those coaches' histories every time. It makes no difference to me what your opinion is regarding that. If a person believes that ANY coach can go to ANY school with ANY level of talent and win a state championship then they're an idiot. If you fall into that category.. it is what it is. Now for the Westerberg comment. He won 3 consecutive state titles with the most prolific high school quarterback that the state of Texas has ever had, along with countless other very highly skilled football players, plus the best overall support staff that money could buy (at the high school level), plus arguably one of the biggest pools of players to choose from in the country, and finally the nicest high school facilities in the state of Texas (at that time). Someone commented above that there were around 50 D1 football players from Allen during his coaching tenure.. Know what? Maybe he should've won a state championship every year that he was there. And the fact that he didn't .. might mean that he's not as good a coach as you're arguing. If it was only about coaching.. then the same exact coach would have the same exact results every year. Every single year.

I wonder if every person that is pro abortion thanks their Mother every day that she wasn’t?!

If Lamar dropped to Div 2 I would never attend another event again.

Westerberg took over at Allen at the perfect time.....they were growing at an incredible rate and talent was arriving by the boatload as Allen became the largest school in the country...he's a very good coach and he had a very good staff with multiple head coaches on there.....but like I said very good coaches still cant win with mediocre talent (ie Barbers Hill)

With the school board looking to change the name again at the stadium, why not transfer the name at the stadium on campus at West Brook to the new stadium? Can't think of a more deserving man to have his name on that stadium.

Greatest coach to have ever lived.

I've always felt this was the plan all along. If this happens, then this gives us the first black female President. Unfortunately for us, we see she can't handle the roll as VP. And as Newt Gingrich said, she's just plain dumb. Someone played a clip of Rush Limbaugh last saying that when you see the left turn on Biden then you'll know it's over. There's a clip in this video that shows CBS has turned on Biden!

Not sure how you got to there, I’m no better than anyone but obviously myself and many others were smart enough to see this train wreck coming but many didn’t because they have no clue as to what is going on politically. That is something I can’t do anything about, and it’s getting worse, not better.

Last year, only 12 out of 30 conferences had multiple teams from their conference made a baseball regional. Only 10 conferences had multiple teams in March madness for basketball. Football at Lamar level is majority one team conference playoffs. point is, there’s no conference nowadays that works financially for a school like Lamar. We are who we are, unless the powers that be spend money and change the image of Lamar. Kids aren’t knocking down the door to attend Lamar and live in Beaumont. Not happening. It would take a major overhaul of area, adding nice off campus housing, bars, restaurants, and other college activities to change kids minds. Just my opinion.

Go Bruins, let's keep the 409 in the playoffs.

Right... I'll even go so far as to say that most of the posters here are more intelligent than the average voter. Or at least more interested. At the end of the day the "great unwashed" are who must be won by either side to emerge as the winner. It makes no sense to set out to offend those votes that you HAVE to have by being a boor, or by championing unpopular ideas because they're "right" in our own way of evaluating the issues. The masses didn't love Trump... they disliked Hillary. The masses didn't love Biden... they HATED Trump. Nobody is going to be like "Oh, I learned my lesson! Give us those mean tweets!" They still rightfully can't stand the guy. Grabbing an unpopular, polarizing issue that is guaranteed to be a non-starter for half of the electorate as your hill to die on is just stupid. Want to win the general in 2024? Don't even MENTION the word abortion. Focus on getting our nation back on track. Promise to pardon Hunter Biden. Promise to focus on the fact that the average American is spending $350/month more for the basics than they were a year ago.... Not betting that a strong stand over trans athletes being banished from sport or corralling CRT as the basis for what you're trying to accomplish.

Every year you sit up in those stands in Bridge City know there is little to no chance of winning. Its like you waste a good Friday night stuffing you face in Nachos, luke warm Pepsi, and cold popcorn. You would be better off saving your $10 and just coming over to a Silsbee game. Silsbee, WOS, and Jasper have been the most consistent football 4A programs in the area. Bridge City im sure plays in 10 Homecoming games a year. You tried the triple option and it worked out once vs Silsbee 6 years ago. Outside of that, uses practices and pride boosting Friday night loses by 20.

He roasted who was on the schedule😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. See the thing about you and Bridge City is that you guys haven't done much in any sport in what 10-15 years. Its like you guys are just running around and exercising on the field can court. Getting in shape to lose by 50pts. I would have respect for your comment but outside of the young lady who won state in track whos dad is from Silsbee, BC has only been competitive in sleeping with each others siblings.

and you'll still be worried about the wrong thing. You have to win the middle or you win nothing. it's amazing how rigid the conservative right is. "heck no we won't compromise a little towards the middle to improve our chances of winning, we'll just shout the same views the middle voted against last time even louder and call everyone who votes against us fools and idiots! There's no way we can fail, but if we do it's because they're so dumb, not because some of our policies and beliefs are becoming outdated and irrelevant."

He was a good receiver though. Good BBall player too.

Lamar is directionless, gutless and pitiful. If you're going to leave the WAC, going back to the Southland conference with your tail between your legs is not the move. All the issues with the Southland are still there. The lack of investment in facilities, program and coaching. Just because Lamar hasn't got any coaching hires right doesn't mean they were wrong to leave the SLC. The SLC hosts its basketball tournament in a high school gym. On a floor 10'shorter than regulation. The WAC plays in Vegas. I wish they had leadership and did what it takes to get in the Sun Belt, which is where they belong. Until then, I'm through.

WOS will have a down year and Silsbee will win district

What he's probably laughing at is the perception that Silsbee fans just seem to think that Silsbee kids are shafted in every single accolade in the history of sport. Always should've had more on this team or more for that team. They can't fill every award with solely Silsbee kids. Calm down.. the kid's a sophomore? He'll have his time. I swear you guys are like the HD fans of individual awards.

Didn't age well. Rock, Chalk, JayHawk! LOL

The job just got posted earlier this week so the process is just in the beginning. The posting is for AD and HFC but in the posting it says that they reserve the right to hire those positions separately. So they are very early in the process and don't know if they wanna separate it or not. The new sup just started so I imagine she will have somebody she will want to bring but she is from the Dallas area and not sure anybody will want to follow her down here. That is about all I know.

A quick note: My friend, no one is "arguing" here. We are having a debate pitting your opinions against my opinions as with the rest of us here. As I've said before, it's nothing personal.

Scott Surratt enough said. Go Dawgs 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 in 14 years

I believe it does. Players want exposure. And the better the conference makes a difference on where they want to go.

Maybe Lamar should have stayed, at least for now. Like we have talked about before, you can’t gauge the bb team by how this year turned out. Just a freak year with Covid and injuries.

Facts

I’ll be honest… I doubt that he feels any differently about those unborn children than He does every time we execute a murderer here in Texas. Kinda like I doubt He’s more bothered by homosexual acts than he is bothered by my sleeping around with loose women. Or that He’s offended because two gays want to get married, but doesn’t mind all of us going down to the courthouse to tear asunder what Gawd Himself had joined together. Nothing says “marriage is between one man and one woman” quite like a third marriage. i personally find abortion to be immoral. Luckily I’ll never have to make that choice. But I’m also smart enough to understand that well over half of our population has never lived in a period where abortion wasn’t allowed. It’s what we know, and it’s what we’re used to. And now most of us don’t even bother going to church. But somehow we collectively have some new moral objection to abortion and we’re finally ready to outlaw it as a group? You’d have to be a special kind of stupid to believe that. What’s next? Wait 40 years and then try to get the Supreme Court to ban gay marriage?

No, I don’t really have a voice on the other side. But the right IS the side which I support, and I’m very comfortable calling out behavior that will lead to positions which will lead to our defeat… like nominating trump again.

There is talented players & quality baseball played in D2 & JUCO. Definantly have better head coaching.😎

I remember him from Friday night tykes.

Supply chain is a national security issue. I consider the mass outsourcing promoted by both political parties to be treason.

Going to Division 2 is a losers mentality.

SFA will not be going back…Per Ivey

“If at first you don’t succeed, quit and run home.” I think that’s how the saying goes…

#DANCINGIN2023

I get so tired of seeing politicians whipping this dead horse just to get their supporters riled up. The people cheering this are too stupid too realize that it's no different than those whackos fighting for a woman's right to abort up until (and after, apparently) birth. Yeah, it gets your side whipped up, but it also energizes the other side to vote against you. It's a net nothing, except tying up tons of time and money to fight about a settled issue.

Upset the apple cart.

Jasper 6 Hudson 5 Final/8

UNC is the new ATL Falcons lol

surprised three or four accounts haven't come out of retirement to keep this thread going. I guess the original attempt to turn it in a certain direction didn't get enough of a response this time.

Musselman has got it going on there in Fayetteville. They're in that #1 spot for good reason.

Maybe their impressed by the resume. Maybe their impressed by the professionalism in the interview. Maybe it's ignorance. Maybe... who knows. They'll either get someone that impresses with a "new mentality" or hire someone that fits the "level of comfort for our community" situation. Either way.. there's usually never a right answer.

They aren’t successful because the Subpar AD keeps hiring his Subpar buddies who shouldn’t be head coaches as BU’s head coach. He does this because they don’t want a new proven head coach to come in and clean house and bring in a new coaching staff. Because the existing coaches all have ties to him or administration some how. Beaumont needs to clean house upstairs and bring in new administration and get the academics up to par first then forget the buddy buddy crap and bring in a proven coach that knows how to discipline and turn programs like this around. Bring back the desire in these kids to want to play football and enjoy playing football. Make them want to be as dominating as their basketball team. They have the talent there. They just need the right people to get it out of them.
