This is what a good African-American coach can do for a program, especially in the south. Kevin Sumlin has now flipped Thomas Johnson, Seals-Jones, and just picked up Justin Manning who I think is the best d-tackle in the state. Before Sumlin got there TAMU was very unlikely to get the top players in the state, especially if they were African-American. Very hard for those kids to blend in College Station and feel like it's a second home unlike Austin or the DFW area. He has also gotten Kameron Miles to decommit from Tennessee. Eldridge Massington has not yet committed to TAMU but is looking like a likely target for Sumlin, Massington is a USC decommit. If A&M can continue to keep winning they're going to blow Texas out of the water in recruiting which has been the Horns lifeblood for a decade, it seems like unless you were an All-American in high school UT wouldn't offer you in the past. A&M is fitting right along in the SEC though, I believe UT didn't offer Manning yet because he was a non-qualifier last time I checked. [/quote] I think its more about Johnny Manziel and the SEC, but Sumlin was the right choice for A&M at this moment in History. The other coach recruited Johnny Football, Sumlin was smart to start him. [/quote]I agree, but Sumlin made Manziel. If he was this good he would have started over Tannehill last year. If Sherman was still there they would be 6-6 right now just like they were last year in the Big 12. There's a reason Manziel was playing receiver on the scout team last year, he barely won the job a few days before the season started. He was also the # 40 qb in his class and A&M was his best offer. When you start giving Sumlin guys near the top of their class like Mack Brown has been getting at Texas I think he's going to turn into Steve Spurrier. [/quote] If Texas is smart they need to fire Brown and get A&M offensive coordiantor Kliff Kingsbury before Texas Tech hires him.

How is that Big 12 and Longhorn Network working for you TU? Wish you had qualified for the Cotton Bowl this year  :-X

They don't do Honorable Mention anymore?

Good luck Coach Deel.

Wrong time of year also.

Thanks and Gig'em!

Great Job Nederland. You are a great team with great fans. Go win it all!

Silsbee will loose to WOS after winning this week.

Sweet.  :)

Nice job LCM.

[quote name="skipper" post="1311643" timestamp="1351312357"] silsbee will not be shut out by wo-s so i will lay that one to rest [/quote] Thats what Buna and Orangefield said. Good luck. :)

[quote name="BuckBuck" post="1311636" timestamp="1351312025"] I don't see in the play by play where the "inadvertent whistle"  kept the Horns from completing a touchdown run in the open field.  Or where the Horns actually covered a fumble in the end zone, but had it called a Tiger touchdown.  It was a game changing screw up by the officials in my opinion!  The Horns came out and played a hard fought game.  It is very disheartening to work so hard and have the officials make such a difference.  Hang in there Horns!d [/quote] Yes, I agree with you. I was told it should have been 20 to 7 at the half hf leading. Heard the down marker officials  told HF fans that it was a fumble at the goal line by Silsbee. and of coarse the inadvertent whistle that took away HF pick 6. Could have been a different game. Silsbee is good, but not as good  as I thought, and definitely not as good as some of the predictions I saw. They should finish second.

[quote name="dawg13" post="1305474" timestamp="1350736987"] When your coach gives up on trying to win games the kids will,or maybe he just dont know how to win.I really believe you should always field the best "TEAM" thats gives you a shot at winning and we or not doing it. [/quote] What a dumb comment. The guy has not had an off season.

Defense wins ballgames. Only 20 points scored on WOS this season so far. Really good impressive fast defense. Aug. 31     Little Cypress-Mauriceville 18-0 Sept. 7     at Port Neches-Groves     34-13 Sept. 14     at Beaumont Central     14-0 Sept. 21     Jasper                     17-7 Sept. 28     Hamshire-Fannett*     44-0 Oct. 5     at Hardin-Jefferson*     49-0 Oct. 12     OPEN     Oct. 19     Orangefield*             54-0

Keep fighting Kountze, you have gained some fans this year.

When they go back to 2A, They are in a tough district.

Way to bounce back EC. Going to the playoffs as the second place team is still going to the playoffs.

[quote name="UKCats" post="1301945" timestamp="1350408020"] The thing that has to be understood here is that there are certain times that NOT MAKING A CALL is not an option. If a pass is thrown and "presumably" intercepted than a call has to be made. They can't just blow the whistle and immediately huddle up, that would cause an even bigger stink. How would you feel if there was a close play at first base and after watching it the first base umpire makes no call and immediately jogs to home plate to talk it over? You would be infuriated. Umpires use EVERYTHING they see, including physical context clues, to make the best call they can. If one of their partners got a better look at it then he can help him out. We are all guilty of getting on officials about bad calls, myself included, but 99% of them are not out there in malice. And I agree with the Barbay quote, if the officials keep you from winning theres a pretty good chance you wouldn't have won anyway.

HJ by 3

#2 offense, #5 defense OF VS #1 defense , #5 offense WOS.  WOS 42-OF 6 WOS to fast on defense. All that razzle dazzle OF does will not work well here. Would love to go to this game if it was at OF, Can't stand the fort knox feeling I get at WOS.
