That's the most reasonable post by a Newton fan that I've seen in a while. Or maybe ever. Good luck.... lotsa changes in store for the Eagles.

Not trying to sound mean, but there's a reason that nobody tries to coach football and basketball. At the end of the day, programs (and schools) are judged on wins/losses. In this era, kids are ready to "take their talents" elsewhere if they believe that their home school is going to lose. Winning will win out over "cares about the kids" every day of the week... not just among the people who make personnel decisions, but also among student athletes. I'd like to see Kountze pick up a strong HC, but they'll honestly have to find an unknown up-and-comer and hope to hang onto him for a few years. Decent football coaches aren't interested in schools where the basketball coach is holding down the AD title, unfortunately. I'd sure like to see Kountze have some success, though.

It would be really hard to keep a talented kid enrolled in Kountze and staring at a losing season/career when he/she can cross the creek and play at Silsbee and have decent chance of making the post-season. There is talent there, it just hasn't been developed or it left town. I hope they can make a good hire.

I'm expecting a substantial drop-off in offense on the Rez next year. That's a kid that can't be easily replaced.

Not at WR?

Well, we’ll all know that Patrick Swayze visited the Starlite Inn outside Kountzewhen he was preparing to do “Roadhouse.”

Don’t forget malicious speculation. There’s some of that, too.

Buh buh buh Buh buh buh B Unit!!!!!

True.

I was about to ask if they made two laps around the square like they do for the Christmas Parade. They did. Am I the only wondering why the covered wagon and city backhoe weren't part of that procession? Yeah... that was the excuse for coming up short a few years ago. "Long ride on the yellow dogs on the day of the game." Good Luck, Eagles....

No specifics needed... Has Brown been back in the lineup? Why do people keep talking as if he may or may not take the field this week?

It's amazing to me just how little love WB is getting from the area. You've got a 6A school playing in the state championship game but there is little to no publicity. Anybody want to weigh in on why there just doesn't seem to be any local interest?

I knew I'd heard that story somewhere before.

I'm surprised WOS hasn't posted their HC position as open yet.

They couldn’t even beat a bunch of unathletic white kids from BC that year.... despite having all of that talent. That’s why I keep thinking that the new scheme is making them a little bit tougher to beat. I know that Silsbee fans weren’t very excited about Coach Smith’s play calling because it seemed to be a departure from the flashy (but hit or miss) style... I think the fact that Silsbee isn’t getting multiple unsportsmanlike penalties is a result of them much better disciplined program... and also resulting in this playoff run.

I’d be a lot more worried if it was a domestic violence accusation. If I was the defense counsel I’d be really trying to get the matter resolved before the draft.

Here we go... Y'all couldn't even win District in '16.

This is the first 5th round appearance by the Tigres that I can recall. Is this their deepest trip ever? This team is without a doubt not as heavily stacked as some of the previous Tigre squads. Honest question for the Silsbee honks. Do you guys think that this success can be attributed more heavily to the drop to 4AD11, or the new offensive scheme/discipline that Coach Smith has been implementing in Smoketown? I think the road to the F-I-F (Fif!) round is much easier in D2, but I also think that playing smart, disciplined football is paying off for the Tigers. What do you guys think?

Yeah.... not gonna happen this year, either.

I'm not even making this up.... It's number nine. [Hidden Content]

Do y'all still sing the song about the Gay Caballero? You know.... "He's the Gay Caballero, He comes from out there Cuero, He can't wait to get to San Franscisco.... Just to swing... his...rope." Because honestly, that's all I know about Cuero.

From the Urban Dictionary: Cuero Dominican slang for the word slut for any girl/guy that is too easy when it comes to men/women regardless of sexuality. I thought "gobblers" sounded shady.

How many in-district butt-whoopins does this make up for?

CT has Silsbee right here he wants them.

This game has the possibility of being one of the most talked about game for years to come..: except it’s going to be played in an empty stadium. thats just wrong.
