[quote name="bigtexn" post="1217187" timestamp="1335976537"] Anyone up for some STJFL fantasy football?  I've got my draft picks ready to go!  ;) [/quote] How does it work?

Who the Heck knows at this point!!!

[quote name="SFAlumberjack13" post="1212251" timestamp="1334782669"] So anyways getting on topic. Good luck to coach Barbay. I really hope he sticks around for a while. I feel Jasper has the potential to be great if they just had a consistent coach [/quote] +1

[/quote] Being from Jasper, and having worked in the district for several years..... This is not a shock. [/quote] Unfortunately, I'm sure you're right...

[/quote] Really?  I mean REALLY? I happen to be a "white" guy who played high school AND college ball and this is the most ridiculous comment I have heard in a while.  "WHITE BOYS" don't skip out of football because of the shallow-minded reasons listed in your retarded comment.  Good things our "white boys" don't cuss or disrespect their elders.  You poor backwards soul...I think you give us White Folk a bad name!

Except for the 1st few congratulatory comments, this entire thread is pathetic.

He had outstanding numbers with 233 tackles, 133 solo tackles, and 10 sacks. I'm sure he is fine with Air Force but i just find it odd that they showed from what i know of no interest in him. [/quote] Exactly! One of the examples I am talking about. [/quote] Just because Lamar didn't sign them doesn't mean they didn't recruit or offer them...

[quote name="PN-G bamakid" post="1193475" timestamp="1331078448"] The Cedar Tree in Jasper is also very good. [/quote] They used to be real good years ago...kinda gone down hill in the last few years.

If you ever head to Jasper for a game or on the way to the lake, there's a little restaurant called Lone Star Buffet...Homemade Down Home Country/Soul/Cajun cooking.  Best homemade rolls on the planet!  Ate there last week...DANG!

[quote name="fullswing" post="1159302" timestamp="1326495075"] I understand that the STJFL is gonna a little bit smaller come next year. [b]Too sad that P.A. Memorial was voted out of the STJFL[/b]. I guess it wasn't enough for them not to participate in the play-offs. Get a whole year to see the talent and then decided that the competition was too tough. Well P.A. i hope you guy's find a good place to play. [/quote] Really? I didn't hear that. That's too bad.  They sure had some good athletes.

[quote name="OldBallCoach" post="1145468" timestamp="1323795778"] I truly hate that you had such a miserable experience here in Jasper “queenb”.  Yes we did charge $3 gate fee and sell basic concessions, but this was simply to cover the expenses of paying the referees.  The remaining money will all be donated to the Jasper Football Booster club.  The football program was generous enough to let us use their field (which they had to mow and paint for these two games).  I would not have been offended if I were asked to pay a few bucks to come and play at your stadium to cover expenses…if you have ever been involved in coordinating youth sports, you would know, there are WAY more expenses than people realize.  I think it is obvious when you look at our facilities, equipment, and uniforms…we are not running a money making youth football program here in Jasper.  As for the parents, I can assure you that there were unruly parents from BOTH sides.  This, unfortunately, is how some parents act everywhere you go.  I have coached football, baseball, and basketball all over southeast Texas and it is the same everywhere you go…a few loud mouths with filthy language are going to be there and you WILL hear what they have to say, like it or not.  You should know that you cannot observe their behavior as indicative of their town’s character…Heck, my wife had to listen to a small group of WOS parents spew “F” bombs and call the KIDS playing the game a variety of unspeakable things the entire game…but I am smart enough to know that they do not represent all of WOS fans. I cannot speak of the issues you had during the Senior game, but I can tell you as a coach, we had a GREAT time in the Junior game.  The kids really enjoyed playing the WOS Lil’ Mustangs and even though we were very disappointed in losing the game, our kids and the WOS kids shook hands and said “Good Game” afterwards, nothing else.  Just remember…these are KIDS and they just love to PLAY FOOTBALL!  My son even found a few kids he played against in baseball and visited for a while afterwards.  Coach Doobie and his coaches did a great job and I congratulate them on a hard fought victory. I really hope we can continue this game in the future.  It is fun playing another excellent 3A football program and giving all of our kids (Jasper and WOS) the opportunity to compete at a high level.  I hope this can develop into a FUN rivalry over the years …if the parents will just stay out of the way and let the KIDS PLAY FOOTBALL.…these two groups of kids are some GREAT PLAYERS and they will be playing against each other for YEARS to come… [/quote] Thanks for stepping up, coach.  Parents who have kids in football (or any sport where a lot of other parents show up) can't be so sensitive...and it gets even worse in Jr. High & High School. Regardless, if you can't toughen up a little, it's gonna be a long next 6 years for you.

[quote name="jlh370" post="1145272" timestamp="1323741672"] I know it's been a while since I posted on this board.  I just would like to give thanks to all involved in youth sports.  Your time and efforts in the development of these young men and women go a very long way.  It's the men and women who sacrifice there time to give back that makes the big difference.  Despite all the negative that we may be faced with, the different situations that come about throughout a season, we all still find joy in seeing these young men and women progress, and develope into productive members of society. This is why we do this, not just for the thrill that comes with victory, but for the chance to say that we are actively apart of something that stands for right.  So in conclusion continue being a role model, the greatest gift of all is giving.  Thanks to all, have a happy holidays, hope to see you next year.

[quote name="FootBFan" post="1127266" timestamp="1321968765"] the league took the word of the other team. The next day after the game was played and sheet signed off. Evidently the court found evidence they proved their case. This league is being sponsored by a anonymous NFL player. It will not start until summer of 2013. I am just the lawyer on board. Of course you know all that is in detail. I will not speak on this subject again. Good luck to the league. And word of Advise Revise Your bylaws. [/quote] You are a walking douche bag...

[quote name="TexasMinuteman" post="1122127" timestamp="1321648427"] I hunt the Mertz 09 out in Central West Texas.We went out there last weekend and didnt see to much of anything.The deer didnt come to the feeders or the watering holes.There were no deer on the game cams.Its like they disappeared. Ive been going out there for 13 years and never seen it this bad. I need some smoked deer sausage!!! :-[ [/quote] Couple things I've noticed.  LOTS of acorns on the ground, so less feeder traffic.  Also, Big moon been overhead at 1 am.  Lot of feeding going on at night.

[quote name="basketball25" post="1121831" timestamp="1321629726"] it's not as big for you becuase you don't have that big name Heavyweight like  a tyson, holyfield, lewis and etc!!! the little guys is what makes boxing goes now, [b]Boxing needs a big time heavyweight that flat outs knocks people out and right now it doesn't!![/b][/quote] I love boxing...I never said that boxing is dead...However, if you compare the popularity of boxing Now vs in the 70's and 80's, boxing has declined drastically.  MMA fighting, as a sport, is on the rise (especially in the UFC).  I am not saying that boxing will be replaced by MMA fighting, but it will certainly share quite a bit of it's potential viewership.

[quote name="basketball25" post="1121642" timestamp="1321593066"] smashmouth, Boxing paperview numbers beats UFC anyday, if mayweather vs pacman got done and u had gsp vs silva on the same night boxing kills mma in how much money each sport makes that night. Ortiz vs mayweather had huge numbers and pacman vs marquez just did huge numbers, cotto vs margrito will have good numbers too, SO you can't say boxing has been out for a long time!! numbers don't lie, UFC have so many pviews a yr than boxing but no way in heck boxing has been out of the door a long time when boxing just had 2 paperviews do over  1 million buys in a 2 month span!! also pacman vs mosley did over a million buys this yr  and cotto vs margrito will get to a million or pretty close to it [/quote] Your assessment is correct; however, I am comparing the popularity of boxing to itself...past and present...and in that arena, it's percentage of fans is lacking.

I feel a "Group Hug" coming on... ;D

[quote name="king" post="1121369" timestamp="1321576815"] If there were more awesome boxers as much as mma fighters boxing beats out mma in HUGE fight anyday [/quote] That's the problem though.  Big time boxing has been out the door for a long time.
