I’m just speaking in general terms here and not for or against any school or coach. It sure helps when one has good players. As long as the wins keep rolling in, all is well. Look out of the losses pile up.
That’s certainly true. But both of these young men are extremely bright and energetic. I haven’t seen KJ yet with Buna, but I can tell you the level of coaching (in a varsity game) I saw from Remi quite frankly surprised me. And I went in expecting a lot. He is wayyy beyond his years and was doing more than I’ve seen an assistant do 99 percent of the time. Reminded me a bit of a couple of current highly successful coaches when they were assistants at high profile teams in this area. And by the way, kudos to Coach Whitmire for giving Connell that freedom. Of course, he more than anyone knows what he is capable of.

I understand on paper it looked questionable. But I knew what kind of basketball mind KJ has and his passion for the game. And he’s always wanted to coach girls. It was a diamond in the rough situation to me.
I also understand how well liked Remi deservedly is there. But I think he will end up being thankful he stayed with boys. I tend to believe things happen for a reason. He’s destined to be a very good one, maybe even a great one.

Brooks has been a disappointing hire to say the least. He had a poor record in Houston in the mid 90s. He seems like a good assistant but not head coaching material.
I've had nothing but good things to say about Tic in his Lamar days. They threw him in when Knight had the team all messed up and you can tell the man knows his stuff.
The sooner the AD moves on to a new hire the better for Lamar. Since Pat Foster left in '86 it's pretty much been 40 years of nothing but futility.
One from the good old days
Yeah, not sure what the thinking is when someone can’t win at a program like U of H. Then again, not sure how much thinking Borne did in general.

I agree and it was in jest, it was pointing out that Big girl said there were only trace amounts in his system, as if that was ok.
Oh I knew. That post wasn’t made for you. I probably did a poor job of making a point but was trying to point out that “trace amounts” when it comes to fentanyl can be deadly amounts.

Agree, I said the same thing when it happened. Floyd was an addict and had problems but Chauvin had a history of bad behavior and there’s no doubt in my mind Floyd would not have died THAT day if he hadn’t had a knee on his neck for a prolonged period of time. It’s just a shame that everything has to be about race and as you pointed out and I have in the past as well, the race hustlers only appear in situations like this and don’t care about the real issues that are responsible for many more deaths among young black men.
So much this.

Mr. Floyd did strike me as someone that would be very responsible with his fentanyl use.
I know without question you say this is in gest but for those who are unaware, there is no such thing. I hate the word "literally" because it is misused so frequently but the use of fentanyl and playing Russian Roulette are very close to the same thing,

Poor Lamar Mens basketball has fallen on hard times under Brooks. They competed much better under Price. Have they beaten one decent team this season and the answer is NO
Depending on the definition of "decent," I would say UTSA has the potential to be decent. I watched both of the games with the Roadrunners, and they have some talent. I thought they were pretty poorly coached. It amazes me how virtually no adjustments are made in game.
And I was lambasted on here for defending Tic during his last season. The Cards won two conference tournament games that year, one against a good Sam team before losing to Abilene Christian who went on to beat UT in March Madness. For those keeping track, we haven't been back to a conference tournament since, after back to back last place conference finishes.
I stand by my statement that Coach Price was the third best coach in Lamar basketball history since the Pecker Tech days, behind the obvious two legends. Of course, the great Marco Borne saw fit to fire the man (the day after telling him he would get to coach the last year of his contract). In fairness, Borne did so on his way to rehab so who knows what his mindset was. Needless to say, ended up being a final parting gift as he promptly followed Tic out the door after making a final hire or two. Good news is I am fully confident our current AD.

To tell you the truth, they did call alot of fouls against the Tigers.
To tell you the truth, the Tigers tend to foul a lot. It’s just part of how they play. Some games they get by with more than others. I prefer refs let more go, especially some “fouls” but Silsbee should almost always have more fouls than their opponents.

who is "y'all" ? Im stating facts. Im not a Silsbee guy. $a and 6a schools shouldnt even be allowed to play each other. But they do and a lot of times actually win the games. That is crazy. BMT has over 2,000 kids to choose from in each school lmao Silsbee has like what, 800?
Silsbee has NEVER shied away from bigger schools. 409, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas. And more often than not, held their own and won more than a few. Iron sharpens iron. I wouldn’t be comfortable telling Joe Sigler how to put together his schedules. His results have spoken for themselves. It may not be for everyone, but I think it would be a bit foolish to say it hasn’t been a successful formula for Silsbee.

It’s been a minute since y’all “ran the 409 in basketball” 😂
He meant they get run by that other team in the 409…. In fairness, as they should.

Coach Foster won his 700th game last Friday night against Woden.
Congrats to Coach Foster. One of the best coaches in the entire state. Great accomplishment.
You said a mouthful. I’m not there are any better. And there may not be a better coach in the country who is as “under the radar” as Foster. Which I would bet is exactly how he prefers it.

How are the Buna girls doing with the new guy?
They just won the Nederland tournament. I think they are 9-3 or something.

Yep 55-29 at half then up to 66-36 at 14 minutes before they called off the dogs and let Lamar cut it to 20.
Final SAM 90 Lamar 70
Score was closer than the game but we won the second half #MoralVictories

Scratch that. We hit a 3 to cut it 26!

Look pretty good today at Sam. Only down about 30 at half.

Without their QB, they aren’t one of the best 4. Michigan is hoping FSU gets in a 4 and not Bama
Yeah that key player factor is going to keep them out probably.

Highly doubt they drag it out to overlap with the NFL games. They probably make the announcement right before noon

They are going to use that last factor to justify screwing FSU.

Maybe the committee says screw it and goes with an 8 team playoff now. No one would be mad at that
Easiest solution. In that event, I would throw Liberty in at 8 instead of haggling over a bunch of 2 loss teams.

It’s hilarious all the talk on social media is how Bama’s QB is better now, yada yada yada. Which of course is the talking point of all casual fans. The true football folks know Texas won because they won where most football games are won - with the big uglies We whipped their tail in both lines of scrimmage, I’m sure their younguns are better. But our experienced fronts on both sides are still healthy and the best in the country.
