Sounds about right to me too.  But wouldn’t be surprised with a larger margin of victory either.  Any BC win would have to be considered a pretty big upset, even with the 2-0 start.  But kudos to Coach Landry and the Cardinals for drowning out the noise and putting down their heads and going to work.

There isn't a person here that doesn't feel bad for the kids or the situation.  It's definitely a very uncommon thing that their school enrollment has gone the opposite direction of the norm.. especially at such a quick rate.  I'm really wondering what's going on over there to cause it...

Anyway.  Unfortunately.. I don't think it's something that they'll ever live down.  The poster that you're referring to, (the one that only shows up when they beat literally anybody).. has ruined it for the school.  The four horsemen thing will never die.

Good bits never do.  And that is a SETX Sports hall of fame bit.

Incredible cover from Penn St. lol

Kentucky too. Couple of last second heart breakers (if you were on the dogs at least) on Saturday. 

People been beating dead horses there for many years. 

Heart is with the Mustangs but my head says Indians.  PNG by 10-14.  

When I saw they had Idaho scheduled, I felt for the new coach.  No way they had any chance of being ready for that level of play.  Idaho is a nosebleed program at that level.

People suck sometimes.  My last several dogs have been picked up off the side of the road.  

A lot of times.  Which is why I much prefer dogs to people,

2nd time in a month or so that Mitch has a stroke while answering Q&A..

Is it time to enact age maximums, the same way we require age minimums? I think it’s time. 70 and 80 year olds, including Biden and Trump, have obvious and severe mental issues and are a threat to this country.

Last time this topic was posted - I did recall all the 80 year old dinosaurs here being vehemently against it (they are the smart 80 year olds, duh, and not like the rest) while the relatively younger crowd agreed with me.

 

@Reagan @LumRaiderFan - what do y’all think? Should we ban your classmates from running for office?

We have age limits on district judges in this state.  You can’t run again once you turn 75.  So I guess you could be in office until you are 78 and 365 days.  I think we all agree the presidency is a little more important.  I think not being able to run once you turn 70 (for president and congress/senate) makes sense.  Just my personal opinion.  Same for scotus (retire them at 70).

Does Brooks have connections overseas as far as recruiting? 

I think both of the Eastern European guys were both assistant coach Charles Harral recruits.

That guy is a complete joke.

Funny thing is Jared blew up last summer playing with Silsbee at the TABC in Duncanville.  But that guy will tell it differently to anyone who will listen.  As if people can’t look at the offers and see when they started to roll in.  He’s such a moron he got his team kicked off the pay to play division of the under Armour circuit (UA Rise - basically told we don’t want your money) because he verbally assaulted Paul Biancardi in Dallas because one of his kids wasn’t ranked in the top 100.  That same kid couldn’t find the floor at TCU and transferred down to Tulsa (which was his level to begin with) after one season.

My guess would be Arkansas, Alabama or UofH.  But he’s been attached to an absolute clown show in the summers so who knows?

I don't care much for Scott Drew but he's been on a good run of sending guards to the NBA.

Saw the Butler kid play a summer league game Sunday and was on the red eye with him that night.  Was very impressed with his game. 

Even those Georgia Bulldogs know:

I haven’t gone back and looked in previous post  but was there any  Buna kids mentioned.

I remember a small guard in late 99s early 2000s

I wanna say Michael McMahon….I could be wrong on that

 

Clayton Allen (Class of 90). Played at D1 at Drake. He was the best of the post-King Cotton guys.  Wanna say he led the state in scoring his senior year at Buna too. 

Congrats to Orangefield (#16 in 3A) Lumberton (#19 in 4A) and Huffman Hargrave (#22 in 4A) for finishing the year in the top 25 in their divisions for the Lone Star Cup!  The Cup represents overall athletic excellence across the board (like the NCAA’s Director’s Cup).  Well done to the athletes at these schools.

The 2017 team had 10 players that played sports at the next level.

Basketball

Adams

Bush

D. McCain

Harris

Tyler

 

Football

Barnes

Jones

Newton

M. McCain

C. Tyler

 

That team was loaded with talent.

Still hard for me to believe Kolten Mackey never played college football. Better than a LOT of kids who did.

That 2017 team was special.  Devon is the best out of Silsbee.Againts Dallas Carter in that championship game he was rebounding, playing defense, making steals, throwing dimes, intercepting dimes, etc.  And he had a star studded team with him: Bush, Adams, Martin, a host of others.

BTW beat FFA.  Or was that BU?   Maybe it was a fluke.  Maybe not.  Like Texas Hoops said, BTW is good, but I feel Silsbee is better.  I think Miller will play, at least I hope so.  If not there are some hungry kids on that team.  Sooner or later some of them will step up.  It happens on all teams every year.

One of the best performances I’ve seen at state on any level.  He refused to let his team loose.  The same could be said for Braelon in that regional final against Yates.  It’s was just an incredible performance where he left everything he had on the floor.  Is this team talented?  Yes.  Have they done anything remotely close to those games?  No.  I guess you can whine about the teams coming out of Dallas or you find a way to beat them. One team did.  One team hasn’t.  End of story.

2017 would have a hard time winning “anything today”…. That’s a big reach

A HUGE reach would be putting it kindly. Some people don’t like being wrong. That’s okay.  The teams Silsbee ran out there the last few years wouldn’t have beaten that Dallas Carter team either.  Or the 2017 Silsbee team either 😉.  And those Yates teams were considerably better than BTW imo.

Without miller? I’m not sure if they get there without him. 
 

regionals maybe 

 

but state idk 

I just don’t think there will be anyone better in the region.  BTW maybe but I still like Silsbee.  
 

However, with or without Miller, the “this group will be better than the Adams, McCain, and Bush teams” statements we were hearing a few years ago hasn’t aged well.  As I suspected then, was clearly nonsense and based more on wishful thinking than anything else.

Most of us probably have them as a favorite to go to State.  That’s thinking they will be pretty darn good.

If I just read things correctly, the SEC has had a team in the CWS final every year but 1 since 2008 and 4 times the finalist were both SEC schools.  I knew the conference was dominant, but that's just ridiculous.  

 

No argument here about SEC  baseball being the gold standard and I would agree with you (at least I think you would agree) that the SEC has been more dominant in baseball than football.  Just stating when you add arguably the bluest blood in the country in baseball, the rich get even richer.
