Again.. Silsbee, HF, Jasper, and Bellville were not bad losses.

Y’all just played a #1 within 7. In district, Silsbee and HF both won their playoff games big tonight. They’re pretty good. Not sure about why Jasper lost but they have lots of talent too. Quit whining. Good season.

Done.

Lumberton has best football season in school history… fans question the coaching strategy. Yep. Sounds about right.

Again.. did I say you were yelling? I specifically said, "it's a lot like yelling". I bet you were a fun student. As far as your point.. assume you're right. Do you actually think that Beaumont ISD can/will do what it would take to actually employ whatever coaches there are out there that meet your qualifications?

Yet you can't find a single comment I wrote where I specifically blamed the kids. By the way.. using exclamation points doesn't make you right. It's a lot like yelling.. it doesn't make the point any more valid. It makes you seem like a clown. Which may or may not be the case.

It's apparent that you're dense. Almost worth discontinuing the conversation. Almost. You still didn't answer my question.. Shocker..

First of all.. I wasn't talking about Beaumont specifically. I replied to, "A lot of people blame the coaches at each school, who is above the coaches???? If a NFL/College Team isn't doing well eventually the people above those coaches are held responsible too." That's a general statement. Not enough people blame who's above the coaches.. It's also true that not enough people blame who's below the coaches. But since you brought up the situation in Beaumont. They have the athletes to beat who? You mean on the team or in the school? I normally like to give coaches a little more credit than most do. Often times, a team isn't winning because of numerous factors outside of their actual ability to coach a team. Including lack of talent. Please answer this: Is Bill Belichick a great coach, or was he blessed with a great quarterback?

Not enough people blame who is below the coaches. Meaning... the players. Sometimes you just don't have any horses in the stable.

I have no doubt that the number of teenaged and up couples that tried on the whip cream bikini rose tenfold as a result of that movie.

Round 3 = Kryptonite

My comments had nothing to do with Anahuac personally. They are definitely good. My hesitancy is in regards to SeTx schools (smaller-ish) and how they normally fair against schools from outside of the area. It's not good.

I've seen Anahuac play a few times this year. They have some kids that can play for sure. I definitely thought AP would see a couple/few rounds for sure at first impression.. even though I a staunch believer that out of area teams just do better than SeTx in the playoffs (with the exception of a few). Normally round 2 at least is when SeTx meets a nonSeTx school. I'll pick AP but wouldn't be surprised if this game doesn't go as many think.

The age old question... is it better to be fired for cheating or fired for losing. I'm certainly not condoning anything and never will... but... Every single school within the large city areas is trying to attract kids to play for them. Schools openly try to increase enrollment numbers for funding by providing a "better education". I personally think it's different but like I said, they're all doing it in some form or fashion. Even according to UIL's own bylaws you can bring in kids from out of the school's district as long as they wait one calendar year to play varsity athletics. That makes it ok? LOL. .

According to Wikipedia, championship in 01. Finals in 98, 02, and 08. That's respectable on any measure.

I figured it had been a long time if he was still there. I don't follow them much since their talent ran dry.. but he definitely had some quality teams at one time. I won't even pretend to say I know anything about Goodrich basketball but I remember some state titles.

Is Lester King still at Goodrich? That's gotta be quite a run.

It happens. Maybe not more often than not.. but 4s definitely beat 1s. It has always been my argument that even if it happens once, it justifies sending 4 teams... even though most people think it waters it down.

Maybe go the other direction. Try having a whole bunch of 3A schools. Increase the odds of having a winner.

This game is for the 4th playoff spot? So.. it’s possible that the mighty Bobcats lose to West Hardin, Hardin, and miss the playoffs in the same year? Hat trick

Who? Kidding.. No but seriously.. Win some playoff games. That’ll “get respect”.

Coach the game? I'm leaning towards letting random fans from the stands coach the game... but I've thought that way several times before. Any time someone shows displeasure in the coach's strategy, actually.

I wouldn't let mine sleep in the house. Losers lay in the yard.

Yes.. absolutely. Forget the positions that these kids have been practicing possibly for weeks or even all season. Just throw seniors out there all over the field because they've "earned it" by staying in the program. 100% better coaching strategy than those currently behind the whistle. (Disclaimer: I actually have no idea how many seniors are even on the team that don't usually play, if any. Maybe none.)

I wonder if Kountze is still considered an “upset”.. considering how well they’ve done.
