But tap the breaks on winning district. It’s nice to see WOS finally play a really good district game. But like I said about a certain team in this district last year, there is a way better chance of the stangs not making the playoffs than that happening.

A lot is always said about kids getting second chances, usually from a team that got beat. Sports is all about life lessons and sometimes the best life lesson is showing a kid you love them and that they are valued. Until you’ve walked in their shoes and the coaches, I always find it’s best not to speculate or judge (as with almost everything in life). But I can’t begin to articulate or explain it like the GOAT so I will leave this right here.

They played Sam to the wire on the road in their only conference game down 3 to 4 starters, with only 7 eligible players, including walk ons. In the game before that, they were the “healthiest” they have been all year (before the covid outbreak) and lost by 3 at home to a team that had just beaten SFA in Nacogdoches by 13. They are way better than just looking at a 2-12 record would suggest.

[Hidden Content] 66 to 1. UTGRV and Chi St are lower (150 to 1 on Chi St). I would put 100 on Lamar winning the conference tournament at 60 to 1.

40 to 1?

Since they are the “worst team in the WAC,” they have to be, what, 50 to 1 to get in the tournament?

What a beatdown

New wac guidelines are less than 7 players or 1 coach and reschedule (or no contest if can’t be rescheduled).

Covid

Who are we kidding? We just have to have someone mention one…

I once faxed a waiver (I think that was the document) to AT&T stadium for Dr. Cousins to sign during the State Championship games so a kid could play in a basketball game that night. So lest people think the uil only jumps for the Duncanvilles of the world, I can attest that at least on one occasion, the same treatment was extended to Beaumont Central.

The time to do that was before the guilty verdict. Would be interesting to know what type of bartering, if any, was going on behind the scenes. Having said that, she hasn’t been sentenced yet. Maybe negotiations are ongoing. I would be willing, if I were prosecutor, to make her a pretty sweet deal to blow the lid on the whole thing (and more specifically, those who were in bed with Epstein, no pun intended).

It’s generally a bad idea for universities to be releasing health related information on any of its students, even if it’s accurate. There’s a reason very limited information is typically provided on student athletes. That being said, aggy gonna aggy.

And ALWAYS well coached. Whitmire might be the most underrated coach in the area.

One of my biggest pet peeves. People crying for a foul doesn’t even exist.

Played him this summer. Very skilled big man. But still think United can win this one. Should be a great game.

Same here

You’re right that is an interesting one. Especially because they can expose Silsbee’s biggest weakness. Question is can they handle the Tigers’ biggest strengths.

Seems like an easier path than playing those pesky old SWC teams. No wonder some have found their most success there.

SEC! SEC! 😂🤣

Actually I don’t think the loss is a bad thing. For a few reasons. Move on. Still firmly believe Silsbee can win the whole enchilada this year.

SEC! SEC! 😂🤣

It’s looking like OF may be the second best team in that district.
