Simply amazing....guys who hit 270 off the tee are helped with today's technological advances, but the guys who already hit 300 off the tee are hindered by the guys who can now catch up with them? That makes absolutely no sense to me. The technology also help the guy who can hit with a pine tree. Putting on slowers greens only helps with the speed, not the actual read of the contours. Man, this stupid topic sure is getting some responses. I love it!

spinks, your second paragraph shows that this topic is not stupid afterall. I happen to agree with everything you said except that the technology only helps those who cannot hit as far as the great ones. Even though Tiger may use the same irons, anyone hitting their drives 20 yards farther has to help tremendously.....especially on the shorter par 4 holes. Even though Tiger can stick a green with a 5 iron, you can't tell me that it isn't easier for him to back off a couple clubs to a 7 or 8 and it make the shot. Same goes for Jack. These guys are eagling 500 and 600 yard par 5s with putts, not chip shots. This is where tournaments are won anyway....putting, and Jack was one of the best (save Crenshaw), so I would have liked to see him get a chance to putt for eagles instead of having to chip. It would have made a world of difference IMO!

Funnny how you assume that I wouldn't know all the players would be equipped the same. If the debate is stupid, why participate? It's not any more stupid than bragging about the Mario Williams pick and calling someone out. Since Jack is the best (one of the longest drivers and accurate with greens hit), wouldn't it be more to his advantage to have a Bertha for drives and a PW he could stop on a dime, or draw back towards the hole. Give jack 10-15 more yards on his drive, instead of playing center of the green, he can now go at the flag. It just seems logical to me. Kinda like giving a corked bat to Hank Aaron. Everyone would hit more HRs, but Aaron would hit even more, maybe even widen the gap.

That's not what I'm getting at. Put today's technological golf equipment in Jack's hands in his prime, and I wonder how many other tournaments he might have won. Impossible to say, but interesting to think about. I also never saw Jack throw a club. Now Craig Stadler, that's another story.

Tiger is Tiger....but how about that TRIPLE BOGEY with two holes to play. : Tiger will surpass Jack, no doubt, but I wonder how Jack could have really dominated had he played with graphite shaft clubs, Big Berthas, and Ping clubs with the U groove that was banned on tour for some time. Even the balls nowadays are "hotter". Jack had to get backspin with a club surface about the same as 80 grit emery cloth. Yeah, I know, I'm gonna catch a lot of flack from all you Tiger lovers, but try just for once to see it from my point of view. This is what makes it so difficult to compare players that are generations apart. Technology has shortened a lot of holes. 600+yard par fives reached in two. 300 yard drives with 3-woods.....

Of course it is. Just that when you do get caught, you look like a putz.

MMSLB, I'm just giving the WOS crowd a hard time. Somebody has to do it. ;D So what if we lose a freakin football game. It's not the end of the world. I'll still be proud of my Bulldogs. Shovelhead, I'm going to sell all these Wiis on ebay at Christmas time for $500.00 more than they are worth.

Streaks are made to be broken I'll get back to you. I have to go. I'm told I just won another Wii.

I bet this happens lots of places!!

Thanks for proving my point. And should Nederland win this year, we will be graced with this same list...plus one. ;D Hey, I was wrong. It was a shutout in 2001. Good luck to you too!!

No sir, you ARE mistaken. Nederland won the first three of the last 6 and WOS has won the last 3. One of those came at WOS. Two of them were in Nederland. Now, WOS HAS one the last 2 of their 3 in Nederland. Nederland won in 01 and 02 at Nederland. Stop showing the need for a history lesson and you will stop getting them. I don't need a history lesson. God knows I've seen your records enough. You people carry your record books in your hip pocket. ;D Every year is a different season. I guess after we whipped you 35-10 (excuse me if that's wrong. I'm sure you have it handy), I'm supposed to predict a 25 point win the following year? Not hardly, I'm not that pompous, but it was three in a row, should have been four! Still no respect!

Thanks GT

Yeah, and Ozen too!!

I see the respect in a 21 point prediction. All of your points will be from total domination, but any of our lowly scores will be from your mistakes. I guess you take this all from last year's game. Thanks for the respect dude. How much respect do you want, i shaved off half of the points wos usually averages because its nederland. I don't require your respect. It's just that you contradicted yourself in the same sentence. Is it contagious? I even highlighted it for you. Where were you on our three year (should have been four!) stretch? Uh oh, here comes the record book geniuses and state title comparisons.

Thanks for your hard work admin.

Man, I had to work this weekend. I'd sure appreciate a recap as to where our teams stand for advancing. Thanks.

Lazeek, where are all the young guns? Either this course was very tough and all these players with -15 through-20 are really, really good, or this course was easy and Tiger played just well enough to beat Joe average. Need to insert some older players and give Tiger a run.

I couldn't have said it any better!!!! ;D

So far....what a yawner!!!!

You might want to check the history books. Hebert was a powerhouse! And French tied Permian for the state title in 84 before they merged? I know about Hebert and French. I was talking about after they merged...which is what this thread is about....merging and making one super school. Except for Westbrook's win in '82, Bmt. schools haven't done that well going from 6 schools to 2. It was supposed to produce "super" schools, and it didn't IMO. Neither did PA.

Before Ozen, Beaumont eventually combined 6 high schools into 2. Beaumont High and Charlton Pollard became BCP, Forest Park, Hebert, and South Park became Westbrook. French High finally merged with BCP and became Central. Forming one "Super School" is not always a recipe for winning. Beaumont schools didn't fare well until Westbrook won state in '82, I think. Look at Memorial. One would think they would be very strong, but they are struggling. One thing always stand out, you need a great coach.....period. BMTsoulja could probably elaborate on Beaumont schools better than me.

I see the respect in a 21 point prediction. All of your points will be from total domination, but any of our lowly scores will be from your mistakes. I guess you take this all from last year's game. Thanks for the respect dude.

He'll probably say OU Sucks! ;D Texas can't suck. It's where you get all of your players...the good ones anyway! ;D JohnnyT60, even as good as Texas recruits, they're going to miss one every now and then. We did get Beasley and Thomas.

Talk about getting killed!! Lazeek, don't hold back, tell him how you really feel!!!

When someone loses (not looses) a game, isn't it funny how they reach in their hip pocket and read you their history? I laugh my arse off everytime.
