Lincoln? Gotta be BJ I would think. Steve would be in the debate had he stayed.

Yeah wasn’t sure either. Loved his game though.

To say the least. Hard for me to narrow it to 5.

Where would you have Harper? Man I loved watching him play.

In all fairness, the Longhorns will likely finish 2nd to Ohio State, narrowly missing a 3 peat for the Director’s Cup for the best athletic department in the country. Just a few spots above aggy who sit at a respectable 50th.

Banner time!

Brother Lincoln finish 8th and Bobcats finish 4th as a team. Congrats to Xander and all the Bobcats!

Have seen and loved that bit. He’s absolutely right. And brings up a more important issue than sold out arenas. Television eyes. Until women start watching women’s sports with the same frequency as BRAVO TV, the ladies aren’t getting a big ESPN, TNT or whomever deal. That’s, of course, why these men are making $40M a year. It’s not because the owner’s just value them more.

Just started watching a mini-series about the pro women’s soccer team in LA. Much of the opening episode was about the disparity in pay between men’s and women’s sports. But I’ve never seen where this isn’t market driven. The women in basketball can make 10x or more playing overseas, presumably because women’s basketball is more popular there. I wish they could make more money to play here too but until they figure out how to sell out arenas, it’s not going to happen.

The Parks brothers sit at 2nd and tied for 3rd after Xander shot 70 and Lincoln 73 on Day 1 yesterday. Bobcats sit at 3rd as a team with a cumulative score of 311. Good luck Cats as you cap off a monumental year for Orangefield sports.

Texas A&M is now 0-7 against Texas during the 2022-23 Athletic Season. W Soccer, L (1-3) M S&D, L (80-220) W S&D, L (89-209) M Tennis, L (2-5) Baseball, L (1-3) Softball, L (1-2) Softball, L (5-11)

Yeah heard it from a reliable source who would not complain otherwise. I doubt his “feelings were hurt.”

He tried very hard to make me a believer in the extraterrestrial. If he’s right, I PROMISE you he can’t wait to give me a big ole “I told you so.” 😂

Top 3 in my all time favorite classes at OF ( right behind the two my kids were in).

Lawrence does a great job with his guys. Not sure what he might have available at this point though. Might be worth reaching out.

He thought a lot of you as well. We both mentioned you and LRF often as guys we knew we would like and enjoy their company. I’m so grateful we met (I think AAW and I met him at the same time during the Evadale tournament years ago). I was blessed to be able to watch several games with him over the year. We shared a love of sports and complaining about officiating.

He really does. I think it helps too that he has a reputation as the kind of AD people love to work with. He genuinely loves all the sports. Like most Texans (myself excluded), just football the most. The OF community is blessed to have him.

It is with great sadness I report that Hagar passed last night. He had been battling cancer for some time, along with his wife of 55 years. She passed less than 2 months ago, and our buddy just joined her. He missed her dearly, obviously, and was surely overjoyed to join her. He had just gotten a positive report but developed an infection this week his body couldn’t fight off. His daughter reports that he passed peacefully in the night. Hagar was someone we all enjoyed posting, and he was a great friend. I met him through this message board, and was blessed to develop a friendship over the past several years. I debated where to post this (either here, the football board, or the Locker Room), but I feel like this is the one where he posted and enjoyed the most. He will be deeply missed. Prayers for his beloved son, daughter and grandchildren. As you can imagine, he was very proud of them and an incredible dad and grandad to them all.

Is Drelon playing? He’s got to be one of the top few guys in the state in 7 on 7. Can’t imagine trying to deal with him in that format.

Everyone has their own opinion. Personally, I love the hire. Always enjoyed watching his teams play and seems like a great guy. Glad he’s coming back closer to home. And I think he only lost to OF once during his time at Buna so happy to see him on the orange bench.

Really good kid from a really good family. Wish him and the Bobcats well. And as usual, I really like Smalley’s hire here. Hope it’s another home run.

I would say Orangefield and Buna have very similar gene pools. OF has more students so they should win slightly more theoretically. But I think Whitmire only had one loss against OF during his tenure at Buna. I’m not positive on that but I believe that’s correct or at least close.

Man I hope not. What a hire that could be for OF.

Yeah his athleticism was what set him apart. All 3 had nosebleed basketball IQs (and IQs in general from what I hear) and could shoot the leather off the ball.

What a run for the Cougars with those three. How would you rank them (for fun)? I would go Alex, Remi, then Garrison. But full disclosure, I by far have seen the least of Garrison. You usually don’t see the middle kid being the best for whatever reason but that’s where I feel the strongest. Much less confident ranking the other two. All three were an absolute ball to watch and ALWAYS conducted themselves with class on the court. Kudos to Manny on raising quality young men.
