Some manager almost certainly got fired. Hopefully it wasn’t the kid from Orangefield who forgot the uniforms. And as the father of a former CBB manager, I couldn’t even get a chuckle out of this. Everybody has forgotten something important at some point of our lives. Fortunately for most of us, it doesn’t make national news.

No Maradona? I watched a doc on him once. My boys are both huge soccer fans (you can probably guess one is an Mbappe fan). They both have Maradona pretty high on their lists. The oldest also has Messi #1 (he’s also a huge Messi fan) and the Mbappe fan goes Pele 1, Maradona 2.

I’m not a soccer guy by any stretch. I enjoy watching the bigger games but know next to nothing. Growing up, it seemed like Pele was almost the undisputed GOAT. However, it seems like that has changed. Just curious as to who your top 5 would be (of all time)?

Actually he was an Orangefield kid who transferred to LCM and then came back to his zoned school.

Most of their starters have probably played more games with a shot clock than without one.

I get the same feeling.

What a game. That one still felt like the championship game.

Too much time left?

The most talented two teams (and the best two teams for most of the year) are playing now. And I think the committee can tell all the naysayers to kiss their behinds after tonight.

Yeah that place has some really good stuff.

Last I heard, that was the plan.

I thought about that too. I certainly don’t judge these kids for sitting out lower type bowl games like the Alamo Bowl to not risk injury. But I wondered if Roschon could have helped his draft stock by playing. I have no idea but I definitely think he’s got an nfl future.

The reverse jinx can be effective.

The way tonight has gone, Rebels will win 27-26.

What a comeback for the ducks. Some really entertaining finishes tonight.

Listen hard for the “SEC! SEC!” chants over the fluttering of tortillas.

Anyone watch that game thinking of Les Miles? Kansas vs Are-Kansas. That game was proof we do NOT have too many bowl games.

Hated the Steelers but always respected Franco. Really miss the League and how it was back in that time. Not many, if any, Roger Staubachs and Tom Landrys around these days…

I would say -11 or 12 or Furr and -6 or 7 to BTW. But just my 2 cents. AAW is much better at this sort of thing than I am.

And another: [Hidden Content]

Furr upset BTW by 1 point on a really off night for the Eagles (not that off nights are super rare for Booker T). Tap the breaks on Furr being the “school to look out for.” They may be much improved but they still lose 8 or 9 times out of 10 to BTW imo.

Shame on Yates. Knew the Bears were about the hand them their behinds so they no show after LCM traveled to play them twice?? And where are the few JY sympathizers who love to roam this board when the Lions are in peak form? No showing seems to be a pattern over there. That’s a bad trait to carry through life by the way…. What a horrible message to send to kids.

Booker T is the flavor of the month in HISD. Once McDermott graduates next year, my guess is Jack Yates will return and land the best recruits again.

And Tech needs to pay that man’s widow the money he was owed or suffer a curse that rivals the Bambino’s. Time to right a wrong that should have been done while he was alive.
