You can’t focus on doing your job if you’re jawing at the guy across from you. Lack of discipline is gonna sink this ship.

I saw a small six point and a doe on Saturday morning in North Hardin County... nothing since.

Why didn’t y’all try for the field goal at the end of regulation?

I don’t care about the score… I just can’t wait to hear what the WOS faithful have to say if they drop this one.

Jasper lb has 220+ rushing yards on the Silsbee D. Lort.

I hope it’s not serious.

I’ll hold off on the comebacks because a kid is hurt…. But 99 was about to get his feelings hurt.

From hours and hours of intensive film study. It's okay if you don't believe me... My guess is that the Jasper Coach will make sure that 99 doesn't line up over 73 anyways.

I did.... I used small words.

Lol... He's only gotten one all year. I guess we'll see.

I’m ready to see if they line 99 over Silsbee’s 73…. That could be a battle.

I went last year to watch PNG and stayed across the street from six flags. I’m not lying when I say that I slept with that thang on my nightstand, son…. I was ready. I’ll be looking a little further out if comes around again.

Don’t get me wrong… I’d go to Dallas to watch. I’m just not plunking down my credit card for a room yet.

I've got Jasper making two rounds.... I think Silsbee will see the third or possibly fourth round like last year. I think they've got enough talent to win the Region and make the semis, and even Jerry World would be an outside shot, but I think the intangibles (playcalling/lack of adjustments/penalties) will eventually catch up with them by round four.

Hey, buddy! You know me… just trying not to embarrass my mama. You?

Yeah.... If I came from a town that was the site of the worst hate crime incident in the modern era, I'd probably hold off on the racial insinuations towards others.

It seemed to me that it was other kids commenting on the Silsbee players post(s), but people were blaming the player for other people’s’ comments-then complained more when the comments were deleted. I’m with you-lots of feminine energy.

Beating them would be an accomplishment for y’all, too, these days.

Calvin Tyler Jr was the feature back for Silsbee in ‘16…. We beat them that year. I remember them having to separate two of their own players in their secondary after one of our touchdowns. Tyler was in camp with the Browns this fall, btw.

There was only one unsportsmanlike late in that game-late hit out of bounds on our sideline. That’s it.

I mean, who else are they hurting? A team with that level of talent that is currently undefeated shouldn’t be racking up unsportsmanlike penalties. It’s a sign of a team that lacks discipline and character… both of which will be needed for the six playoff games. My guess is they’ll hit some adversity in week three or four and implode. Serious white guy take… Most teams wish that they had the potential that Silsbee squanders on an annual basis. On talent alone Silsbee should lead their series with West Orange over the last thirty years. But don’t take my word for it… the Silsbee faithful will argue all day long that Patrick Reed was a far better qb than the mighty Jack Dallas. But Jack played in three state championship games and Reed was more of a ringmaster than a quarterback.

This is just my opinion… it’s not something that a coach can fix. It’s a culture issue at this point. They enjoy the reputation of being classless because the level of talent usually gets them a win despite the played out routine. Nobody else glossed them “Smoketown.” They did that for themselves. Athleticism kept them in the game against Cuero last year, despite the unsportsmanlike behavior and lack of coaching adjustments. Instead of being nine games into the season and refining the behavior that racks up hundred and hundreds of penalty yards, it seems like they’re feeling themselves abs ramping it up, if anything. But it’s nothing new… it’s been going on for years. So that’s the question for Silsbee- fans, players, future players, coaches… “when are y’all going to see that you’ll never win it all with that crappy culture?” Fifteen yards and an automatic first down hurts a lot more than sending somebody to the line for two free throws in a game that’s already out of hand.

I wasn’t there, can’t speak on the specifics of this game. But I can say that it’s a crying shame that Silsbee has had all of that talent over the years and got nothing to show for it. They won’t be playing in December again this year unless they miraculously learn how to control their emotions. This is Texas High School Football, not some AAU tournament. It’s time to grow up, guys.

It’s football… it happens. He’ll be fine. On to the next one.

B Unit!
