No, it's called humilty. You just simply state that you feel that you are just as qualified as the other two, no more, no less. I personally wouldn't take issue with that kind of statement.

No it doesn't....It would have been worse! Region 3-3A Is just not that good....One finals APPEARANCE in the last ten years speaks volumes, no matter how much you guys try to pump up this region in 3A...Its just not that good. I would agree that the top 2 to 3 teams in Regions I and II are always great teams. But for overall depth, and I am talking about 10 or more teams, I think Region III takes a backseat to no one.

Dicky, I did not say you weren't qualified. I just took issue with you saying you maybe more qualified than Travis and Duane. That's all.

You are such a hater....I spoke to Marquis on Wednesday and HE did not even know the job was posted. He said "your guess is as good as mine is". WOW....I wonder what happened....I have no idea at this point.....BTW, I am just as qualified to run that program as anybody that was mentioned...Maybe MORE....I will find out what exactly is going on. Oh the confident one. : C'mon now Dicky, let's get real.

Some of you Silsbee fans are forgetting about one key player, Prentice Lane. I can see Petey being a top scorer for the Tigers next season.

I'll just sum up the Hawks loss by simply stating, too many turnovers, too many missed freethrows. HJ should have won this one. I will say, I was very impressed with the soph. pg for Estacado, Kevin Wagner. He was the difference down the stretch.

In my humble opinion, and I am no "expert", but I believe Silsbee would have matched up well against Estacado and are very capable of beating that team. On the other hand, I am afraid that the Tigers would not have fared well against both Madison and Stafford. Silsbee would lose to both those teams in my opinion. I think Madison is the best team out of the 4 here in Austin.

Well, since you asked, way more than what Central has done in 4A. In the 5 years that Silsbee has been in 3A, they have reached the regional tourney 4 out of those 5 years. Three times to the regional finals and a trip to Austin. Other than this year when they were upset by Jasper in the regional semis, those first 4 years the regional winner had to go through Silsbee. The last 2 years, not counting this year, they were knocked out by the eventual state champion, '07 to HJ in regional finals, '08 to Kennedale in state semifinals. So, it hasn't just been this season that the Tigers have had success here of late. Yes, 4A playoffs are tough, but give us another 600 kids to choose from on top of the 800 we have now, and I am quite sure we can do just as well or even better than what Central has done lately.

But give AAW more credit because Bluedove actually thinks Hamshire Fannett is going to be a force in BASKETBALL in the future.. ;D I am hesitant to go there because a lot of other "predictions" recently have backfired Oh that hurt. :-[ But the truth does hurt from time to time. :'( I did win the pickem contest. ;D

I am giving you guys a head start. I will start next week and you all will feel my dominance.

This post will self destruct in 15 seconds! ;D AAW loves HJ HAWKS!!!!!! :D Who paid? Those HJ fans treated this Tiger fan.

I admit Stafford is a very good team, but this is the same team Silsbee had their way with last year in the Area round. I believe Stafford benefited from the realignment by getting moved to Region IV from Region III. I year can make a big difference (sometimes even less than a year >) but I am not sold on this team just yet.

This post will self destruct in 15 seconds! ;D

You know, I am needing a job right now. I think I will apply. ;D

I see the same four as this year. Ozen, Central, Livingston, Nederland.

Rockets win it, 99-92

What? You said it first? Typical Aggie : For your information Blue, I had this conversation at the dinner table with a few HJ fans last Saturday night. They will tell you.

You see what happens when you talk at the dinner table. ;D You HJ guys heard it from me first.

Another addition to the list. Thanks agains guys!

:o What does that mean?! It means what I typed..............Silsbee is likely a better job, more athletes, more tradition and more recent success!!!!! Why would he leave Silsbee for Central...........now Ozen on the other hand??? : : : : .... Please tell me who is the judge of 'the better job'. and please tell me since when did Silsbee had better athletes and tradition than Central. : : Robert, I don't know about the better athletes, but Silsbee's basketball tradition is better than Central's. I realize that Central has not been a school as long as Silsbee, but the schools that combined to make Central, French and BCP, weren't the most tradition rich basketball programs around. BCP did have some good years, but they never made it to Austin.

Why? Do you know for a fact, ahead of time, that somebody is planning on forfeiting. Didn't we just witness a team "who had no chance in h-ll make it to the regional final? Who was that? By the way, now that all the hoopla is over and it hopefully will not be taken as an "excuse", Jasper played the last qualifying game against LaVega and the two tournament games without a second team all-district player Scott Middleton who was out with an injury. He is only a soph so you never know, the Dogs may be back sometime in the future. Excuse. : Right. Sounds EXACTLY like the one that Silsbee played on a little bit because a "key reserve" did not make the trip to Huntsville. You walked right into that one. ;D Hey, I never said mine wasn't an excuse. You were trying to say your's wasn't. Besides, I was asked why a certain player did not make the trip. I did not post the info to make an excuse. We don't need excuses. Jasper won the game. Not in the game that you were using an excuse for. Isn't that what we are talking about, using excuses in losses. You seem to be getting senile with every post. : No, it is what YOU are talking about. And you seem to be getting more dis-respectful with every post. I said that I hoped it would not be taken as an excuse because I did not mean it that way but you jumped all over it anyway. Okay, it WAS an excuse. I will clarify my statement if I mis-spoke in my senility. If Jasper had had Middleton playing, Jasper would have beaten Silsbee by twenty or more. ;D ........ I have no issue with HJ, the game outcome or its fans. They are very good folks and I wish them the very best at state. Then what was the point of posting it if you did not feel that way? In your mind you felt that it could be an excuse but you try to cover your tracks by giving your post a disclaimer. I posted in the Silsbee/Jasper game thread about the Silsbee player not being there because a HJ fan had heard that a certain player for Silsbee wasn't there and he asked me who it was and why he wasn't there. No excuses were made. You posted first using the word "excuse" in this thread, not me. I just called you on it, that's all.

I'm gettin old Gabe. I hate to admit it but it's true. I won't admit it, I have a full head of hair As for Aggies, don't you have a boring basketball game to get ready for? I really hate you don't see a great baseball game when you see one. I have played in too many great baseball games. If you've seen one, you've seen them all. ;D Besides,I didn't see this game. But one can never see enough great basketball games. ;D (and I mean BOYS basketball games)

We will be broadcasting the game here on this site. Audio only.
