It's definitely put a damper on my enthusiasm... We've been looking forward to this test since it was first mentioned last year. Praying for an injury-free, clean game for both squads. If we can hang around we have a chance. We've just got to keep the Stangs out of the endzone and take our sweet time getting there ourselves. Sounds easy enough, huh? Go Cards!

I don't think anybody really needs that kind of stuff right now. Good luck this evening.

I think you might have misunderstood his point... He's talking about punishing the kids who had nothing to do with the situation at hand. People are calling for BC to close home games to fans, etc. That would punish kids who did nothing, their families, and the community at large.

It's true. I've also heard rumors that the expulsion itself would prohibit the kids from returning at all. It's really just a time to wait and see. BCISD is well aware that all eyes are on them.

I understand that both the creator AND sender have both been suspended from school for three days, and that rules out this Friday. I am unaware of anything further that would be handed down by Dubois. I would be surprised to see either back on the field before October 6th.

Me, too. Let us know if you learn anything.

It would be awesome. With all of the negativity surrounding these issues nationwide, we have the opportunity to show how these situations (which shouldn't happen) can be handled.

It's known who it was. Off the team, allegedly. Team leaders and coach Dubois responded instantly. I'm told the kid created and posted the meme in a group message that included some, not all, of the team. It wasn't warmly received there. Somebody took a screenshot and forwarded it to a kid from WOS. The rest is history. I hope it got a few laughs, because everybody else is going to pay for it now.

This is so utterly ridiculous. i don't even know what to say. I hope the kid that was targeted is ok... He damned sure didn't deserve that. I can't apologize for anybody but myself, but I am truly embarrassed and sorry that this happened. I hope that everybody that is offended knows that I don't feel that way, and I think that is true for most of my BC neighbors.

Can you fill me in, please?

But we scored, right? Didn't we get a FG or two? I was thinking it was unofficially 13-14 WOS. I can't remember.

WOS has never been beaten. Ever.

C'mon over.... There's usually not a lot of room around me but we'll squeeze you in.

Nevermind.

We didn't have any problems scoring during our scrimmage vs WOS last year. I know, it's just a scrimmage, the stangs have gotten better, the field was wet, the WR didn't go where Jack wanted him to, blah, blah, blah. I hope the kids over there are reading this crap and believing that we don't have a chance.

We're due? Honestly, this is a special BC group. Nobody cares about the past, but this group of BC kids and the same group of WOS kids have exchanged wins and losses through pee-wee and junior high until the D1 and D2 split put us in separate districts. The WOS kids continued to develop through junior high and high school. We really didn't do a whole lot until Coach Dubois took over last year. I distinctly remember watching the teams warm up before the 7th grade matchup between these two (which we won) and seeing the WOS kids doing back-pedaling drills, blocking drills, etc.... while our kids were doing back-bends and otherwise jacking around in the other end zone. I experienced actual dread as you could tell that the WOS kids were being coached while ours were just getting bigger. On one hand it's been great to watch all of the success that this group of Mustangs have had over the last few years. I don't think WOS has a better second fanbase than BC. It's also been a total drag to know that we SHOULD be able to compete with them if we'd continued to steadily develop the way that they did. I guess it's more of a question of whether or not our efforts are too little and too late. The difference between this team and past BC teams is that it's a talented bunch. They've had lots of success before public school coaching, and also since Dubois came back to town. People can moan and groan about the Slot T, but it suits our personnel, and Dubois's system has proven itself to be effective.... perhaps more effective than a lot of other programs that run the Slot T. Besides that, these BC kids HAVE sent the same WOS kids home crying before. They're not AT ALL intimidated by the Stangs, ala LCM. No offense to Chris17 (the only LCM poster here). If the stangs go up 21-0, it's over. Duh. But if we draw first blood and Stangs realize that they WON'T be pulling the starters at any point, or even find themselves trailing.... BC will not let them up. How many times will the #1 ranked, defending state champs (after 2 SC appearances), who you've beaten before, show up in your house and give you the opportunity to make your name? The Cards have nothing to lose and everything to gain. And they're hungry. C'mon, Friday.

Yeah, that's flattering but I definitely don't think we've earned that kind of praise yet.

There's eight pages of people saying that we don't belong on the field with the mighty mustangs. I hope you guys realize that we haven't played our starters in the second half this year, either. Hell, we didn't even have our leading rusher in the game last Friday. It doesn't matter.... the game still has to be played.

That's the funny thing... Hunter Denton has and can outrun anybody that's coming to town Friday night. But why let facts get in the way of the "BC has no athletes" myth.

The field at Sislbee stays bad because THAT is how the Athletic Department eventually gets turf. It's not that hard or expensive to move in a little dirt, shoot grade, and blue- top that field. Very, very little money to do so in the off-season.

WOS is bringing back 16 or so starters as defending state champions. Anybody that doesn't favor them in this matchup is delirious. They SHOULD win this game. nobody is kidding themselves about how special the Mustangs are this year. Bruce Lee once said that he wasn't scared of a man that knew 10,000 different kicks.... He was scared of a man that knew one kick, but had practiced it 10,000 times. We're going to run on WOS. Believe that. BC wins this one in a dogfight.

No.
