If you come in on 190, take a left at the first red light. Just follow that road, you will see stadium on right.

The playoffs start tonight as Wayne and I will be traveling to Huntsville to bring you all the action of tonight's Bi-District round pitting the Huffman Falcons and our Silsbee Tigers. The Tigers are definetly rolling into the playoffs as they prepare to make a deep run into the bracket. First they have to take care of this Huffman team. Winner of this game will face Navasota in the next round right back in Huntsville at Bowers Stadium, SHSU, Friday Nov. 21, 7:30. If you can't make tonight's game, just listen in here for all the play-by-play and color commentary of Silsbee Tiger football. Pregame will start at 7pm, with kickoff at 7:30. Silsbee-Huffman, PLAYOFFS!!!!! Nuff said!

If Silsbee wins, they already know where they're going to play. They'll be right back in Huntsville at Bowers Stadium taking on Navasota.

Me too. We need LB over here.

For Silsbee: Defensively, they have to stop Huffman's run game, force 2nd, 3rd and long sitiuations. Defense the middle. Offensively, get the run game going by running the zone read option, stretch the defense. Keep utilizing the short pass routes, protect the quarterback. If Huffman brings heat, sets in a man to man secondary, take advantage over the top.

Let's hear from the arm-chair qb's. ;D

You think the Tiger defense had something to do with that? : I definetly think that WOS is the better team, just not that much better than Silsbee to say the Stangs had an off game for the reason of the close win. That is just not the case. But, WOS won, and that's all that matters.

Uh, that was not your first game back from the storm. Let's not start with the excuses again. :

That is amazing! That's with Silsbee shutting WOS out in the first half, actually the first three quarters. That has to be amazing too, considering.

This game was not taped. They did the PAM-Baytown Lee game.

That's why I have been saying this had more to do with the fight than Burnett's job. Coming from you, Silsbee88, just reassures how I knew how the system worked. I am married to an educator of 19 years and she has "educated" me quite a few things over these 19 years as to how the school systems work. If this particular school board is acting in this manner, they are not doing their jobs correctly. This sounds of a couple of board members personal agenda. AAW, I would hope that it isn't a personal agenda, but we all know how much a successful football program means to some districts. Most board members will put aside personal agenda's and do what is right for the entire student body. I would hope that a sup would not lose their job over an AD or Coach. After all, our main purpose is to educate kids!!! Amen to that!!!

See, herein lies the problem. Those that don't follow the program don't really know what his overall record is. They just assume that it is great since it's PNG and they hear about them each season, but take a look at teh real numbers. Overall 94-65 (0.591) with 6 playoff appearences. Not bad, not great either. The 0.591 winning percentage ranks him 11th on the all time PNG list for coaches. Theres been 18 HC's at PNG. But what has happened lately. Without the D. Long three years the record is: 64-58 (0.525) In the past 9 years since the state title game run: 52-40 (0.565) But that includes just three (3) winning seasons and three (3) playoff appearences (1 in the last four years). The numbers speak for themselves. Not as GREAT as everyone thinks are they! To put that into perspective, Neuman over that same period is: 119-52 (0.696) with 12 playoff appearences. Matt is a great person and good coach, but if he can't see that he needs help on the offensive side of the ball then maybe he should be replaced. I would love to see him stay and focus on defense and hire an established, imaginative OC. Just don't have any reason to believe it will happen. Nice post and good information but the blame cannot be entirely placed on Coach Burnett for the offensive problems IMO. When Long left for Kelly the PNGISD supposedly did not give him a budget to replace the OC. It was rumored he was told he had to replace him from his then current staff. The only coach that had past OC experience was Dan Welch. So it sounded like it was a tag your it kinda hire. I think Matt Burnett is a great guy and loves PNG as much if not more than we all do. If its time for a change I hope he has something lined up & if he stays Ill support him and the Indians as always. That's a class post. Kudos.

Silsbee is the home team at Bowers Stadium in Huntsville for this Friday and next Friday( when they beat Huffman ;D)

I agree. I always knew about the hole in the roof. But what I did not know until I sat in the upper deck, was the 15 foot gap opening that surrounds the upper deck. The roof actually stops at about 15 foot from the concourse floor and that wind comes whipping through there. The temperature was tolerable, but the wind just made it miserable.

I was in attendance at the Plano-PNG game in '77. It was amazing!! 50,000 at a high school football game.

Bowers Stadium, on the campus of Sam Houston State University, Huntsville.

I told ya'll that all it would take would be a visit from my two Soprano buddies, Bif and Rocko. It's amazing what these guys can get people to do.

The winner of Silsbee-Huffman (Silsbee ;D) will play Navasota Friday, Nov. 21, 7:30 at Bowers Stadium, Sam Houston St., Huntsville.

Mark my words, this will be about the fight, not Burnett's job. School boards do not operate like that. That's not how the system works, trust me.

Not only should you voice your displeasure to KJAS, but the Kirbyville school board should get some the wrath too.

There you are HJ HAWKS #7. I have been looking all over for you. I couldn't find you anywhere near the Silsbee-HJ game thread after the game. I guess if I were you, I wouldn't come around neither after saying HJ would kick Silsbee's you-know-what. Now you are on here gloating. Too bad it will end this Friday night. All you'll have is basketball then and then my Tigers will make you cry again. ;D

That ain't going to happen. KJAS has a contract with Jasper ISD and they will protect it with their lives. Could be another job for Bif and Rocko.

I am sending Bif and Rocko over to do some "smacking".
