Awesome statement by Dr. Moore. Don't know the man from Adam, but that was a heartfelt, thoughtful response. Good for him and good for Crosby.

I will take the Ags as well. If history has taught us anything, it's that the wheels don't come off until October...

Here is my issue, and I've been clearly Q uiet about this. The complaining about Kaepernick is that he is disrespecting the country and the troops. But you have plenty of vets who support him and his right. One that comes to mind is Nate Boyer, one of the finest men to ever don the Burnt Orangs. [Hidden Content] Colin has the absolute right to sit or kneel during the anthem. He says he is doing so as a "stand." Now we have people questioning his motives. Does anyone question that this song was written by a slave owner and its third verse, which thankfully we do not sing, was overtly racist? I guess I don't get why people are so upset about this. If you don't agree, fine. You don't have to. And you are free to criticize him. That is your right. Just as he has every right to try and exact change and open a discussion based on his. My problem is he was trying to start a real dialogue about issues we have in this country and it gets lost because we can't get past the minutiae of his act to begin with. Ultimately, here is my stance. I admire anyone that does something "hard" for something they believe in. It is not easy to do something thst was undoubtedly going to be HUGELY unpopular because you are trying to help the greater good. Bear in mind, you don't have to agree with what he believes is going on. The point is he does. I myself have been critical of athletes not doing enough with their "platform." The one that comes to mind is Tiger Woods. I have NEVER been a Tiger Woods fan because I have always believed Tiger is only about Tiger. Yes, Tiger would pay lip service to the Charlie Siffords, Calvin Peetes and Jim Thorpes. But when Tiger was called upon to honor Jackie Robinson? No thank you. Was it his right to decline? Yes. Do I think he "owes" something to those who came before him that have allowed him to amass nearly a billion dollars at one point? Absolutely. So it would be hugely hypocritical of me to then blast Kap for trying to, in his mind, bring about positive change. In the end, we all have a right to our opinions. I'm not naive enough to believe I'm going to change yours. But I do find it sad that so many think this issue is just so cut and dry. Because like most things in this world, it clearly isn't.

Know them both. Savion well. This was not a well kept secret. He's sealed the deal. Going to have to be an Aggie hoops fan for the foreseeable future. Marvin will complete the family divided scenario once he commits to Texas. LSU is the main competition there but I would be pretty surprised if he's not a Longhorn next year. Best HS DT I've seen since Tommie Harris and I think Wilson will be even better.

He did not play due to injury. I think it was more of a nagging thing and he was kept out in the same manner D'onta Foreman was. No reason to use him. I know he probably would have liked to have played because his father played for UTEP. But the reality was UTEP was not a throwing team before their QB got hurt in the opener. He wasn't going to be needed.

Cam Mack has left VPrep and is back in CenTex. Probably will be back at Aggieland HS.

Silsbee would be the 2nd place team in the district IMO. Looks like Liberty will be and I would think the Tigers would be favored in that matchup (although I would defer to AAW there). HJ and OF battling for the 3rd and 4th spots and HF likely being odd man out. So yes, very similar to Silsbee's situation in basketball (the only difference being the Mustangs' rings...)

They were talking all summer. This game will not be close. Those teams Silsbee has lost to? All would be taken to the shed by the Stangs. Just close your eyes Tigers and remember it's only one game.

Rivals lists him as a 6'8" shooting guard. Here's some summer video

He's a good 6'7". Haven't seen him for WC but plays guard in the summers. Oftentimes, even the point.

Exactly what I heard from others who were there.

I would have chosen not to as well. Seemed like more often than not when they did, one of the kids in Silver ended up with the ball. As Stanley from The Office would say, it became a "run out the clock situation." Pretty much by late in the 1st quarter.

Can't argue with that.

Most fans have no idea how HARD it is to coach a team that is THAT deep. Most coaches don't either because they've never had a team that deep. As we've said, I'd much rather have 8 or 9 that can REALLY play. Silsbee is well into double digits. That said, I love the schedules that Sigler puts together. They should play some super tough teams in some of those tournaments and have other great games scheduled as well. Hopefully this keeps them battle tested and gets them ready for the playoffs because they may not even be remotely tested in district.

Remember when the Aggies would crow about half of the top 10 being SEC teams early in the year and then when they started dropping, it was only because they were beating each other. At least now it's one team, and then they start sticking the rest in 15-25. Everybody is starting to get the picture...

Wee see you down there little brother. Gomers scurrying around, making room for another banner. And praying Bama wins them one...

But if they ran, presumably they would run in the party they support, the Democratic Party. What a couple of dummies

The biggest issue is getting "meaningful" minutes to the ones who need it. No matter the depth, some will better than others and should be out there more as a result. It won't be an issue through district and most of the playoffs though. Silsbee is just that much better than those opponents. There will be some great action predistrict and Silsbee may take some lumps there (Fort Bend and San Antonio if the better teams play in that one). You bring up a great point about finding which groups play well together. The issue there, at least in my experience, is that is a fluid concept and can literally change from game to game.

No doubt. Only going to get better. Lots of speed, lots of talent, but lots of youth. This defense is going to be scary good before it's all said and done. Basically all sophomores and freshmen. Now some random thoughts: I'm not sure if our receivers are better or Buechele is that good. My guess is a bit of both. I do know that I'm not sure I've ever seen a QB at The University with a better touch on the deep ball. Shane is an absolute dime dropper. Heard moving to wide out was a great move for him and if continues to improve, he has a chance to make some money playing this game. Glad to see them perform without the need for the OLs who are dinged or Foreman. Sounds like all will be ready and we need them to be next week. The one place we can't afford injuries right now (other than QB) is the OL. We will soon have some good depth there as well but that's a year away. Texas will crack the Top 10 this week. Georgia exposed as another SEC pretender...

Allen played some big boy football in crunch time.

Hogs win!

Keep your feet tool box

Need Trill to pretend he's still being coached by Sumblin. The wifey is starting to apply channel pressure.

Allen made some nice throws on those last two scores.
