unfortunately you are absolutely correct. I have seen it happen multiple times too with someone not paying attention or who has no business trying to keep an official book. And you are just as correct in that if it doesn't get fixed immediately and without much confusion, too often the attitude among the officials is - let's just move on.

Make no mistake about it, this is no easy coaching job. Would I rather have 15 players who can really play vs. 1 or 2? Absolutely. But managing a group THIS deep and talented is no easy task. I don't know how exactly you do it. I know, however, that you guys have a great captain of the ship in Joe Sigler. But to think it's an easy job because of the depth of talent isn't always true. I know a LOT of coaches who prefer to NOT be that deep.

Or hell, play Skip Holtz. To burn a redshirt on the last game of the year, in a game that is meaningless to anyone but maybe the coach's job, is pretty unfair to the kid IMO.

UTA was 5-1 going into last night's game with wins, among others, at Ohio State and at Memphis. So yeah, they are a pretty good ball club.

count on the "look at me, look at me" clowns in these threads. Trying to eat steak and they've barely been able to digest their Gerbers...

I don't know about turning challenges down. I do know Sigler has asked on more than one occasion over the past few years and has been told "no thank you" every time. Interpret that how it you want.

very good outing for the Eagles. How did the sophomore play? That kid has been impressive every time I've watched him.

Dang, I feel like I was just called short by Peter Dinklage...

A) I know for a fact (unlike the "fact" Silsbee has never beat Ozen), that Sigler has asked to play Ozen more than once over the past few years and has been declined. B ) Why would Silsbee play in a tournament that is so horrible now that a JV team is playing in it? The YMBL is dying on the vine and the Tigers get more, better quality games playing in San Antonio. I am sure getting his team better is more important than scheduling a tournament in hopes of playing one team. Besides, I am sure Uncle Rodney would have them as far away as possible in the bracket...

No, you must be mistaken. OF never pulls a "fact" out of his behind. Never.

I ain't saying he's a chicken but those tail feathers are a-shaking...

Tough to lose to them when your coach knows better than to play them...

That's who I thought it might be. Landyn Crowder. Gutsy, tough little guy. Just think, Braelon Bush was also in this class but is now an 8th grader at Legacy. That kid is amazing as well.

Who is the other freshman playing up right now?

IMHO, Devon is the most talented PG in the area. As a freshman. Before you guys blow this up, I didn't say best...yet. His upside is tremendous. And Jordyn might be the best shooter on this team. So you may be on to something. In the end, whether there is someone in front of them or behind them, they will play. Once again, the trick will be managing minutes for a bunch of kids that can play, as opposed to playing kids just to get them minutes. #richfolkproblems

I've been saying Silsbee was plenty good without the football boys. The ones they have now are just as good. However, when they were down to 5 players in OT, not hard to see where the depth is going to help immensely. May have some more joining the voting Silsbee #1 in the Dirty Dozen next week. This team is for real.

Not sure what will happen. These Aggies are all post Big 12. They're too young to know Tech owns them.

And playing as good or better than anyone right now...

[Hidden Content] Someone smashed the nail on the head...

Silsbee would beat Ozen like a rented mule...

stop obsessing. Hard to lose 7 or 8 games when your schedule was crafted by Gigi's.

I think this is a very good observation. Although different groups can click differently on different nights, if Coach Sigler can find two sets of five that mesh really well together, look out.

Saban also runs them into the ground in college. 40 something carries last night?? What would happen in Augie left a pitcher in for 140 pitches? if I had a kid who was a top national Rb, he wouldn't be going to Bama.

Wow. Props to Greg Wise! I always respected him but even more so now. Great game in which to teach a valuable lesson. Thanks for the info.
