AggiesAreWe

I agree, "aggie" will eat his words someday. Not only in basketball but football and baseball but not track. We have to work on that. ;D There's that "someday" quote. Right, and Silsbee will win the state championship in football, basketball, baseball, and track, in the same year, someday. My point is, even IF Orangefield were to beat Silsbee one time in the next few years, but then continue to lose to the Tigers after that, would still prove Silsbee's domination over Orangefield. A couple of wins over a 5-10 year period really isn't an improvement. It would more likely be a show of a down spike in Silsbee's program. Beeninnikes, you go ahead and put stock into those 7th and 8th grade wins. I have been around long enough to know that Jr. High(old school here) wins doesn't always correalate to Varsity wins. I have personally seen Silsbee's 7th and 8th grade teams go undefeated yet not do well at the varsity level. On the other hand, I have seen our 8th grade win only a couple of games yet when that group were juniors and seniors, they went undefeated in district and went deep in the playoffs. Most times on the Jr. High level, it's about coaching, or lack thereof, that determines how well that group does. Also, when you bring up the "almost" wins that the Bobcats had against the Tigers, I think it's only fair that you also post the 33 point blowout that Silsbee put on Orangefield last year. I am not denying that Orangefield is not getting better in basketball, but I still think they have a long way to go to be on the level with HJ and Silsbee.

Northwestern out to a 8-2 start over the Razorbacks.

Some day. Keep wishing, bleed. ;D Speaking of the girls teams, our Lady Tigers are gonna get their lumps this year. Take it easy on them, bleed. Coach Killam(sorry If I misspelled his name) is a good coach and a fine man. He will right the ship. Sometimes you have down years. Wish your boys would have one. Just one that all I ask. ;D Coach K is a class act. Yes he will right the ship. He had to do some culling this year. He is down to just 7 players on the varsity. The Lady Tigers will be back. Bleed, don't count on my Tigers having a down year in basketball as long as we are in 3A. This is Silsbee's 5th year in 3A and they have played in the regional final 3 out of those first 4 years. The other year they lost to WOS in the third round after having beaten them twice earlier in the regular season. WOS went on to Austin that year. So you could say that since Silsbee has dropped to 3A, the road to Austin in region 3 has gone through Silsbee. No other team in class 3A in any region can say that. Silsbee will return to Austin again this year making it 4 out 5 years in the regional final. I hope they do because it speaks well for our district and also for our small section here in southeast Texas. I don't know if you have looked at the brackets yet, but the third place team out of our district, should they win their first round game, would get a bye in the second round and would most likely face the champion of our district(Silsbee ;D) in the third round. Also, the second place representative in our district, would face Navasota in the second round.

Hey Cat22, if you ever have a problem with Gabe, let me know. I'll take care of him. ;D Thanks Aggies, but if I can't take care of Gabe by myself, then I have bigger problems. So true. ;D

I got news for you, all championship rings are bought by the school. UIL, NCAA,NFL,ect...... do not buy teams rings, the winning team buys the rings for themselves. I guess the only difference is that this coach bought them and not the school. BIG DEAL! Kudos to you coach.

That will never happen, rykerx. You are kidding yourself if you think otherwise and if you really believe that will happen, your perspective on Texas high school football is waaaaaay off.

Hey Cat22, if you ever have a problem with Gabe, let me know. I'll take care of him. ;D

Yes, you are included. Maybe we would benefit but how do you know? Have you been in our shoes. No you have not. Do you understand how many years we have suffered in boy's basketball? I tried to pay you guys a compliment and you took it the wrong way. Happens on here all the time. I wish Silsbee nothing but success on the district race except against my BOBCATS. I wish you and your family and the people of Silsbee a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. All I ask is why some of you question our schedule? It's really not about you Aggie, you really did not but some others did and that is why I posted even though I brought up your quote. We're cool, bleed. I know that you are passionate about your Bobcats like I am about my Tigers. I just couldn't let you make the comment about being "scared" go without a rebuttal. I hope you and everyone in Orangefield had a great Christmas and will have a Happy New Year. Yes, we are cool Aggie. See you have the upper hand on the boys side but I have the upper hand on the girls side (Basketball). So we are even. I don't have any kids that play anymore but I still keep up with what the bobcats are doing just like you do with the tigers. We both support our teams and we should. Stay on your toes because the first time our boys beat yours, I will let you know about it. It may take a while on the boys side (Not the girls, Sorry I took a shot Could not help myself) but it will happen. We have some good young groups coming up. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Yes, you have the upper hand on the girls side, but the Lady Tigers have beaten the Lady Bobcats a few times. On the other hand, the Orangefield boys have never beaten my Silsbee Tigers. So I wouldn't call us even. Dam "Aggie" I was trying to jerk your chain, get the board going and you did not take the bait. I am impressed. The actual fact on the girls side is you guys have only beaten us once since 2005. So I am 3/4 even. Does that count? ;D ;D I do understand about the sponsorship. Was just trying to fire you up. It would be hard to choose what side to brodcast at Orangefield because both side draw decent crowds. Yes bleed, the Lady Tigers have "only" beaten Orangefield once since 2005. I guess we won't acknowledge any Silsbee wins prior to that.(btw, the Lady Tigers were the outright district champs in 2007) When I was referring to Silsbee boys never to have lost to Orangefield, that's what I meant "NEVER", not since 2005. It's not even close to being even when comparing the two programs.

Yes, no offseason here, so get your rear ends over to the basketball forums!

It's all about the sponsors my friend. With the girls playing the same nights as the boys but in opposite places, had to go with one or the other. Trust me, regardless of how good our Lady Tiger basketball team is(and this is not a good year for them) we would not get the listening audience that the Silsbee boy's team draws. Therefore, our sponsors wanted the boys coverage. If possible, I may get a girls game in somewhere, but I am obligated to the boys for now. You know, you guys could get on board yourselves and get a broadcast team together and drum up some sponsors to do Lady Bobcat games. You get the sponsors, lot's of things can happen.

The streak ends. Us Rocket fans have to be happy. At least that's one thing we got over Boston, a longer winning streak.

You are kidding me, right? If two or more teams tie with the same overall record, it will be broken by team free throw %. Who thought of that? There is enough teams to have a double elim, why play it like this? Seems unnecessary to me. I guess it's all about giving everyone 5 games.

I am up only because I ate too much today. I am so miserable I can't go to sleep.

Bluedove, you need to be a little more observant of the forum. We have a tournament thread at the top of this forum with all the schedules. :

Cleveland doesn't want any part of Silsbee. ;D If I'm reading the bracket right, If Silsbee and Cleveland win they will play each other.........Silsbee plays Dayton and Cleveland plays Sterling.....whats the odds of both Silsbee and Cleveland winning their first game?.............I have seen Cleveland up close this year and they looked like they could beat the Celtics....could have been a one game fluke?.....they shot over 80% from three land.... I hope Cleveland does win their first round game. I would like to see them against Silsbee. But, I think Baytown Sterling will beat Cleveland.

Didn't see the game so can't evaluate rather a fluke or not. BUT, shooting 3's at over 80% rate is P H E N O M I N A L ! ! Partner, I guess it would depend on how many three's they shot that game. If they went 4 for 5, that's 80%, but I would not classify that as phenominal.

Whoa!!! Somebody has a good paying job. ;D

Congrats to Chris Castle of Silsbee. He was definetly Silsbee's iron man. Rarely left the field.

Looks like the opponent defense went to sleep. Coming to a gym near you!!!

Even though it may be "rigged" for BH, look for them to lose their first game to Spring-Delkaney. I am predicting a Spring-Silsbee final with the Tigers coming out on top.

C'mon bleed, no one is scared. There is no 3A team, particularly local, that Silsbee is afraid to play. In fact, by the strength of the Tiger's schedule, they're not afraid to play anyone in this area. They may lose the game, but definetly not scared. Yes, Orangefield did play us a couple of close games last year, but that last game that those two played against each other last year will be more indicative of what it will be like this year. I believe that score was 66-33 in favor of Silsbee. I knew you would not be scared coming from a fan. We do not play the games the kids do. It will be a big challenge to beat you guys this year. All I am saying is don't coun't your chickens because it sounds like you already have. See we can't afford to count our chickens we don't have any. ;D ;D ;D Buy the way this is not about "Silsbee" it is about people saying we have a weak schedule. I may be "just" a fan, but I think I have a pretty good perspective of the Silsbee basketball team since I am broadcasting their games. I have a little more insight to the players and coaches for Silsbee than what your common fan will have. I believe in this Tiger team. They are a special group and I believe they will go undefeated in district, nothing "chicken" about that. You are right, this thread is not about Silsbee, but you are the one making the comments about Silsbee and HJ being scared of Orangefield. No, I said what would the "Golden Triangle" think if we beat the the powers like Silsbee and Hardin Jefferson. That is actually a compliment to you guys. Never mentioned that y'all were scared because we play y'all in district. Not in preseason. I am talking about other teams. That is what this is all about our weak schedule, Remember? You are a true fan for Silsbee and I respect that. So am I for Orangefield. I marked in bold your quote in your original post to this thread. You refer to "you guys" that were questioning OF's schedule. Then you suggest that "they" don't worry about the Bobcats schedule and just worry about when we play you. Then you state that you think "you guys" are scared. Just who is "you guys"? I can only assume that you meant "you guys" as a couple of us Tiger fans because that's who was posting on this thread about Orangefield's schedule. Go back and check.
