Back to the kids, does Silsbee win the best overall athletics program for this school year in SETX? I think they do for the second time in 3 years (with WOS getting my vote last year). Of course, the mustangs are still playing and could make a case if they make another run like they did last year.

I'm not that "hip" either buddy. I'm not sure there is a universal agreed upon meaning. And some probably use it without giving any thought to the meaning so it's innocent. I do have friends from Silsbee though that don't like it all due to the perception some have that it means smoking (not tobacco).

No. Some people in Silsbee call themselves Smoketown. And I know plenty from there that aren't fond of the moniker. It's mostly the kids from what I can gather.

And by the way, great season Tigers. And school year for that matter. I didn't think the overall year from the 2013-2014 could be surpassed but I think you did it. Definitely a year for the books. And keep it going LCM. Hope there's another district meeting after this week between two county rivals with a trip to Austin on the line!

I root for Silsbee more often than not (except when they are playing a team from the OC). But "smoketown" and "class" don't belong in the same sentence. I like Silsbee folks. But that self-imposed nickname is a 100 times worse than a noisemaker. Just my humble opinion...

At least you're learning. Have to admire someone who is still searching for the truth at your age

Keitha Jones, Jr. at PAM is one of the best athletes in this area that few outside of PA seem to know about. 6'3" 200 lbs and can flat out fly (on PAM's sprint relay teams). And has a very strong arm as well. If he camps a lot this summer, I've been told by one of our resident experts in the subject (out of Beaumont) that it would be surprising for him to leave a camp without an offer.

Fellow PAM QB sophomore Keitha Jones picked up an offer from SMU a couple of weeks ago as well. Congrats to one of the best athletes in this area!

I thought I had already posted this but I guess I haven't (if I did, my apologies). In any event, interesting article from a pretty respected (and conservative) publication. [Hidden Content]

No doubt they got number 1 right. Greatest college football game ever on the biggest of stages.

Okay, after this week, I must declare Game of Thrones the best show on television. Another show I resisted for a long time because it wasn't a genre I typically enjoy. Sounds like I need to start watching Vikings as well.

You may be right. But Toe had offers from OU, A&M, Auburn, Iowa St., Marquette, and others. A couple of those could be considered a tier above Ok St. But no doubt an impressive offer for the freshman. And the Cowboys just hired one heck of a coach IMO.

And I still would like someone more savvy in politics than me to explain how we end up with two candidates that have massive DISapproval ratings.

The sad thing is I think a lot of us have reservations all the way around. If ever there was a time for a viable third party (or fourth)...

Gotcha.

From one of the most respected, conservative publications (which qualifies as gospel on this site). Good job GOP! [Hidden Content]

You can make some serious cash in Vegas betting on that. Trumpster is +250 right now (Hillary is -275).

And Reagan had a democratic congress. Sorry, you can't have it both ways. Of course, reasonable minds would give both former Presidents their due...

Toe Toe Wilridge to Georgia one year ago

But you have more hair. That has to count for something...

Hell, I was thinking their nephew!

30s?? I knew Dove and Nash were old but I had no idea THAT old! Off topic - was it a lot harder to shoot the ball through a peach basket than today's rims and nets?

[Hidden Content] Bottom of the article talks about the Adams offer from Coach Underwood and staff. Congrats Jordyn!

Ok, that was funny. Well played sir

That's because you are thinking about it logically. You would think if a kid's parent took a job coaching at a school, he would be allowed to play there. After all, schools allow an exception to the residency requirement in such instances for a teacher's children to attend. But we are talking about the UIL here. Logic is not always present in these rules.
