I knew that he had coached at Warren for a year or so...where else has he coached at?

How can you say that you have been at OF your whole life and not know who the Bourgeois' and Agerton's are...especially if you saw Morgan play???  And how can anyone with any experience in OF baseball say that they have never heard of these two?  There is no doubt that Morgan was a good player, but to say that he was the best in the area is an overstatement and untrue considering the company that was kept in the area had those years...Josey Kelly from LCM, Dan Fletcher from BC, Michael Thompson from WOS....should I go on??  And by the way...as a "true orange fan"...I was actually at those games, and I can tell you that there was no chanting for Morgan in the stands...I'm not saying that these two want the job, but I am saying that you should know the facts before you start spouting things off in a public forum...however, you do deserve an "A" in creative writing.

Actually, it doesn't seem so much about Lumberton's ups and downs as much as it seems like a witch hunt (or should I say coach hunt?) by a couple people who would rather mouth on a message board instead of scheduling a conference with the coach to sit down and talk about their concerns. Man up and talk to the guy face to face. Just my opinion.

Right. Which you should know plenty about because that's exactly where you've been for the last few weeks....sittin' in your recliner, munchin' on potato chips, just wishin' you were still playing. Sorry that didn't work out for you. Now give credit where it's due. :

Such the comedian aren't we? Just wait....won't be long until that unmistakable wit of yours catches up with you....or your multiple personality disorder....oh wait, I mean multiple username disorder. Don't think people aren't on to you. : And by the way, if you're looking for your name....you can find it under hypocrite.

The BC/Silsbee matchup should be a great one. Glad they are playing it instead of taking a chance on a coin flip.

Wow man that's deep. Seems to me if those girls didn't even "make the cut" they wouldn't have stomped all over HF. :

Looks like our favorite Mathews-basher is now MIA...... ;D

No, definitely not an Aledo fan. I'm just commenting on what I saw last night. Those kids from SVille are really talented, BUT I personally did not care for their style of play. It was consistently shady. Lots of mouthing, personal fouls, facemasks..... I know these things happen with all teams, but it just seemed there was a LOT going on. That being said....I think SVille will go far....their quarterback is amazing.

Got to hand it to Stephenville. They have some very impressive athletes. Too bad their outstanding play was overshadowed by their incredibly dirty style of play. More personal fouls called in one game than I've seen in a while.....and some of them didn't even get called. Don't get me wrong.....those kids can play. I was just really surprised by the lack of class shown on the field. JMO

Oh...now wait a minute....does anyone smell something burning? HA HA ....you go Piratefan!! ;D

Actually, I do watch volleyball. And in watching it, not being from there, unless they publicly announce injuries, players quitting, etc. nobody on the outside knows these things. I'm sorry they are having so much trouble. However, the point is they are winless in district. All the original poster did was point out they had a strong start and have faltered since. It's the truth....don't get all bent out of shape over it. :

And BC is tied for first in district.....makes you go double hmmmmm...... ???

Here ya go Coop. How the Banana Slug became UCSC's official mascot The Banana Slug, a bright yellow, slimy, shell-less mollusk found in the campus's redwood forest, was the unofficial mascot for UC Santa Cruz's coed teams since the university's early years. The students' adoption of such a lowly creature for a team mascot was their reaction to the fierce athletic competition fostered at most American universities. UCSC has always offered a wide-ranging physical education and recreation program designed to appeal to the greatest number of students, but it has based its approach on some unusual ideas: that athletics are for all students, not just team members of major sports; that the most important goal of a collegiate physical education department should be to introduce as many students as possible to lifelong physical activities; and that the joy of participating is more important than winning. In 1980, when some campus teams wanted more organized yet still low-keyed participation in extramural competition, UCSC joined Division III of the NCAA in five sports. Since the application required an official team name, UCSC's then chancellor polled the student players, and out of this small group emerged a consensus for a new moniker--the sea lions. It was a choice that the chancellor considered more dignified and suitable to serious play than the Banana Slugs. But the new name did not find favor with the majority of students, who continued to root for the Slugs even after a sea lion was painted in the middle of the basketball floor. After five years of dealing with the two-mascot problem, an overwhelming proslug straw vote by students in 1986 convinced the chancellor to make the lowly but beloved Banana Slug UCSC's official mascot. By the time the chancellor had left office, he was won over to the proslug camp, even to the point of featuring the Slug on his personal Christmas card. In May 2004, Reader's Digest named the Banana Slug the best college mascot. The Banana Slug even figured in a court case involving campus mascots. Judge Terence Evans, writing the opinion for the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, stated the following: "We give the best college nickname nod to the University of California-Santa Cruz. Imagine the fear in the hearts of opponents who travel there to face the imaginatively named 'Banana Slugs'?" (Crue et al. v. Aiken, June 1, 2004) Recently, our Sammy the Slug mascot has been appearing around campus at sports events and other functions. And, when the men's tennis team played in the NCAA championships, their T-shirts read: "Banana Slugs-No Known Predators." UC Santa Cruz Foundation trustee Anne Neufeld Levin wrote a children's book, Sally Slug, illustrated by UCSC alumna and former Foundation trustee Patricia Rebele. The book, published in 2002, is available at slugstore.ucsc.edu. Proceeds from sales of the book benefit the UCSC Foundation and provide for art history purchases and exhibits in the library. JL 3/06
