  1. Wow! BC really has over 900 kids? We could combine WestEnd and Amelia and would still only have maybe 700. BC should get to sectionals every year . How big are the other programs in the district?
  2. I want to see a last second come from behind by OF. Let's get her done.
  3. who cares about Roger. I wanna see the peach bikini, ;D
  4. Even if you made a rule against it, you couldn't enforce it. How you going to make a kid throw strikes?
  5. I know what your point was. Because you played basketball, and your sons play basketball(which you mention every chance you get-get over it)that every one should love basketball and if they don't, then they must be no good. That's fine, I just don't know why it annoys you when parents brag on their kids that play baseball ??? ??? That's how this got started.
  6. Nothing like internet bullies. :D
  7. Who watches pro basketball? Nobody, because it is boring and unwatchable. I'll guarantee you that baseball has a larger audience. Maybe if you knew more about the game, you could appreciate it a little.
  8. And basketball is good for those who can't hit, throw or run ;D
  9. Go tell that to Michael Jordon. : Best basketball player of all time. Couldn't hit, weak arm, average fielder.
  10. I don't believe the Longhorns offered a scholarship, but it's only his Junior season. It's pretty darn impressive that A&M and Nebraska have made offers so early. Listed at 195 with 4.45 speed will get almost anyone's attention. Supposedly benches 335. Quite a physical package.
  11. I like to wade the south shoreline, not too far from rollover. There are a couple of areas that have shell in about 4 ft of water(depending on tides) Only good with a south wind, but you can find fish if you find the little patches of shell.
  12. I've seen plenty of parents bragging on their kids basketball after failed attempts at baseball. What's the big deal? I'm glad their kid found something they are good at.
  13. I don't care if the girls ran all the way onto the court and did back flips, you just can't call that.
  14. 11 picks with 3 returned for td's. That's a hard stat to compete with.
  15. Cory....that name rings a "Bell" ;D Any offers yet?
  16. So SETEXAN, if you are the head coach for University of Texas and you are taking two from this area, who do you take instead of the two listed?
  17. I am sure there are many things that could have affected the outcome of the game. But you just can't call a bench tech with one second left. That's just wrong. Especially when the clock showed no time left(at least for a while). Warn the kids to get back on the bench and let the crowd settle. Pitiful, pitiful(and I don't care who won)
  18. Not sure what I'm missing here, but the hit over shortstop was not gonna be caught by anyone, unless he was playing on the outfield grass. It was a line drive 3 feet over the guys glove. I'm just a spectator with no dog in this fight, but I know what I saw.
  19. Westbrook overrated? I don't think anyone expected much out of them this season. Certainly the fans didn't care much. Fan support was pitiful compared to DP. If it's not football, nobody from Beaumont is going to the game. I thought since it was only 45 minutes away that the boys might get a little support. Guess not. Oh well. Wish we could get a shot at those guys on the gridiron.
  20. He's not real big and not real fast. Heart only takes you so far.
  21. No. I think Hussey had the tougher schedule. I must have been unclear. Rhodes had better stats than Hussey. It's the same old issue. How much does it count when you play against tougher competition?
  22. 10-2 Brook 5th inning. Svoboda 5 innings 1 hit HR-Wallace
  23. I agree with you Lefty. The numbers were so large, they can't be ignored. If you look back, I picked Rhodes over Hussey as well, simply because of numbers. If the numbers were closer, I would still say give it to the guy who played against tougher competition, but the sats for Rhodes and Thomas are impressive.
  24. Lefty I probably would "plead my case". But, I would recognize that my level of competition was a little lower and give some weight to the quality of teams played against. I think the numbers are so overwhelming that Thomas and Rhodes deserve the honor. Again, those numbers are somewhat deceiving and I don't think Rhodes has that many rushing yards in 5A and I don't think Thomas has 11 or 12 picks. either could play 5A, but I think the numbers would be significantly reduced. In truth, Rhodes would have been #3 on WB's depth chart to start the season. My guess is he would have played receiver or db. Rhodes was listed at 175 this season from the programs that I saw if I'm not mistaken. And having stood next to him he is every bit of 175-180. His size is a little deceiving! I never said; nor did I imply that Rhodes had poor test scores! Nor did I say that Michael couldn't put up big numbers in smaller classifications! It would be assinine to make a remark like that! HE PLAYS IN 5A!!! Common sense should prevail for those who have any! ;D Michael is a great back! In fact I was very happy to see that he has committed to my Ags! It is just that everybody assumes that Thomas and Rhodes don't belong on the list simply because they played in 2A and 3A! And we all know what happens when you assume!!! This award is not a 4A and 5A award only!!! It is an award that given to the best offensive and defensive player in ALL of Southeast Texas! Let me ask you this one question westend1. If Michael played for say...K-ville or EC, and put up the same numbers! Would you still be on here pleading your case that he deserves to be a nominee with athletes from 4A and 5A schools?
  25. I hope he becomes an Aggie. More chances for me to see him play.
