I think Trump could beat Hillary. A lot of the polling suggests he has the best shot. Problem is, he's somewhat of a ticking time bomb and could implode at any time. I also think Rubio has a ton of upside and could win. Not saying either would beat her, but I definitely wouldn't say they couldn't.

John Oliver is hilarious. One of my wife's favorite shows. He was discovered by John Stewart and is better than his mentor IMO.

Stated this in another thread but one thing I've noticed, at least the last couple of seasons, is his teams show steady progress over the course of the season. I have always believed this is one of the big indicators of superior coaching. He definitely deserves any recognition in my book.

If you read my post in context, it's made in jest in response to OF picking out a couple of close scores in Atascocita's schedule. I made that argument to show how foolish his argument was. I agree Ozen is a much better team than Nederland. And as far as critiquing players, I think you will find that comes up when an Ozen poster or two first make statements that aren't grounded in reality. Best luck to Ozen and its kids. I think you will find that despite what some who are delusional will tell you, most all of us are rooting for the Panthers to win each and every game left on their schedule.

I give credit where credit is due. And one thing I will say, Ozen is MUCH improved over where they were earlier in the season. Gotta give a lot of credit to coaching there. So when it appears they will be taking a big step back next year and Mamba tells me they will not miss a beat, I can't argue with him. They have shown a penchant for peaking at the right time. Again, says a lot about coaching. Oh, and give me Ozen by 6 in this one. One game at a time and hopefully one win past where last year ended.

No no...if you don't think Ozen is the greatest program in mankind and its players all should be McDonald's All Americans, it's hate. Always the victim. Try to catch up Soulja.

Atascocita's guards are WAYYY better than yours. Sorry. Don't believe me? Ask anyone that has no affiliation with your high school. And they have a better big as well. Keep throwing up close games they played. Using that argument, YOU barely beat Nederland TWICE who you tell us is horrible. Okay, I'm done abusing you for the day. Kind of feels wrong on a Sunday.

And Ozen absolutely has very good guard play. But to say "NOONE" (which I presume to mean no one)? Ridiculous. You have a kid going to a Conference that is 29th out of 32 and an unsigned senior. But I know, I know...those dumb college coaches don't know what they are doing...

Look, you're not exactly the EF Hutton of talking basketball...

Hence the last paragraph of my post

Not saying they would. I think you should tell Saveat to take Sigler up on his offer so we can see. Silsbee did beat Central who won 2 out of 3 from Ozen. And Big Sandy beat Nederland by small margins twice, just like Ozen. Do I think Big Sandy would beat Ozen? No. Do I think Silsbee would beat Ozen if they played next year, probably. But we probably won't know for sure because I doubt Ozen would want to play that game. But the way they are playing right now, I think one would have to argue that Ozen is the best area team. And this IS the most important part of the season.

I gotcha. I wish Saveat would take Sigler up on his offer to play them. My bet is we would hear a little less about losing to teams from lower classifications afterwards.

Nope. I posted in another thread Ozen could learn a lot from this game tape. Exactly what I was talking about.

Says the guy who is not impressed with Atasocita or Fabian White

Actually, Nederland played Big Sandy twice this year. And lost both times.

Son went at halftime of Central to get a bottle of water. Didn't get back to seat until the game was in the 4th quarter. Ridiculous

Shaka with another notch in a very short belt to this point. If he lands Jarrett Allen (as many predict) to go along with Andrew Jones, it will give us 2 McDonald All Americans to go along with a need big (James Banks) and one of the state's top shooters in Jacob Young. Look out CBB!

It really, really bothers me when race is brought into this issue. The local paper which did more to expose the issues going on at BISD has been called racist time and again, despite the fact the owner of said publication has been one of the largest contributors to Democrats in this State for a long time, and a staunch supporter of civil rights. And believe it or not, I have African American friends with kids in BISD who were as outraged as anyone about the deception and thievery going on there. Ultimately, the taxpayers were going to pay what the law said they had to pay. The real victims were the kids because to me, that's who was being stolen from. If you aren't offended by what was happening, I have issues with where your priorities lie.

What I was thinking. If Trump wins though, Christie would do little, if anything, to garner additional votes in the general election. Rubio or Kasich would at least go a long way to getting you one of the swing states.

I saw all those and you were correct. The only other one I can think of was when a Furr player caught the ball on the sideline in front of the Silsbee bench and Dontre (I believe) ran into him forcing him out of bounds. No foul, Silsbee's ball. But four or 5 misses over a full game and none that were pivotal - like you, I will take that every time. And they were very consistent in controlling the game and not unjecting themselves. Thought that was a very good crew.

Me either. Just said he would be back next week.

I know Marshall has some length but haven't seen them this year. How good are their bigs?

Yes. He said he would be back this coming week.

Apparently McCain didn't have trouble penetrating on Central either, in one of his first Varsity games But you miss my point...it's not the penetrating. Both Central and Silsbee were able to get in the lane. One team chose to force up shots against 2 and 3 defenders, one did not. So then it comes down to 1 of 2 things, lack of court vision or playing selfish? Either doesn't bode well when playing against elite competition...

Was waiting for this. Really thought McCain might have had a triple double.
