Superb use of the English language and I have a feeling that the Bulldogs will capture the title again.  I tend not to get too concerned about what somebody else feels about the district we are in or who we played.  We are regularly criticized for our weak schedule but that weak schedule has not stopped us from getting to the regionals each of the last 5 years( and that includes two trips to Austin).  Based upon that result, I am getting more and more convinced ( ;D) that the coaching staff may actually know and be better qualified to handle the details than posters on this board.

Indeed, Silsbee has three transfers (1 from PA, 1 from Houston, 1 from Dallas) '6"3, '6"1, '6"2 Also was told that there could be a potential 4th transfer but will have to wait and see. It would be hard pressed to state that those three transfers moved from PA, Houston and Dallas to Silsbee just for athletic purposes. ::) [/quote]Seriously, why do some schools have multiple move ins? Is Silsbee a thriving town for industry?  I believe all to be legit but just wondering what draws them......They seem to move out of our place...lol [/quote] Maybe the Gestapo has become too poweful

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1085464" timestamp="1318806975"] I have always disliked the Aggie's. But I do have a new found respect for them now. I guess you truly can sell your soul to the devil if the price is right.  :D [/quote] Is that sort of striking out at conservatism?

Mamma- Why the long hiatus from the board?

I am considering attending that game also.
