KFDM COOP

Well i'm just ready to get it back. There's no excuse for a University not to have football.

Congrats to BC on a Great Run!!

Hopefully no Hurricanes. I think we have several teams that could go along way.

I heard from someone years ago he was like stopping a train.

Burkeville always has Athletes every year.

Hopefully the home teams will bring home victories!

Wednesday, August 9th, two practices, technical gremlins invade sports talk... *Please post any question you'd like asked to Bill Parcells during today's press conference. 9:00am-Practice *Offense did very well during today's short-yardage drill, even drew praise from a grumpy-and-vocal Bill Parcells. *DB's completely dominated the running back's during a pass protection drill, all running back's struggled, prompting some sarcastic comments from free safety Keith Davis. *NFL Films is at practice this morning...they have their own riser, some sound equipment that would make anyone jealous. *Cowboys signed tight end Eric Jensen, who was on the Super Bowl Champion Steelers practice squad in 2005. 11:15am-I taped a one-on-one interview with Cowboys quarterback Drew Bledsoe that will air on Thursday's show. I thought Bledsoe was great, hope you'll enjoy the interview. 11:30am-Bill Parcells press conference *Not much said today, still hasn't made decision on whether Romo starts against Seattle...but once again reiterated Romo would get a bunch of snaps. *Discussed how valuable it is to have two solid running backs with similar, yet different strengths (Julius Jones and Marion Barber), and also mentioned he wants to get Tyson Thompson several snaps with the number-one offensive line. Not sure if that's good news for Troup's Keylon Kincade who has enjoyed a solid camp. 1:57pm-Our ISDN line, which makes our audio crystal-clear no matter where we are has gone down...not sure what's up, and our engineer, Mike Laroux is working on it. This is tough to deal with since we're only 5-10 minutes away from air-time. 2:05pm-On-Site producer Jamie Lent informs Randy Thomas, producing back in Tyler, that we'll use the old-fashioned "Telfax Machine"...which will limit what audio (interviews) we'll be able to send back to Tyler. This is very disappointing since we have Keylon Kincade scheduled, along with Mike Vanderjagt. Let's just see what happens. 4:00pm-Just finished a hectic show (techinical issues), but we did get it on the air...production director Garth Maier called during the show and said everything sounded "fine in East Texas", probably sounded like we were on a regular phone line and not ISDN, which we were. I credit Mike Laroux, Randy Thomas, and Jamie Lent for somehow getting us on the air in the first palce. 5:00pm-Practice *Looks like the team is working on some plays for their pre-season opener against Seattle...not a gameplan or anything, but some semblance of plays. *Terrell Owens is doing more-and-more conditioning work with strength and conditioning coach Joe Jurazcek... *Jerry Jones was back at practice after spending the past few days in Canton, Ohio (Hall of Fame), and New York (naming Roger Goodell NFL commissioner). 7:45pm-Several minutes after the regular practice ended, Terrell Owens spends time with rookie receiver Sam Hurd (this is a daily deal), and quarterback Matt Baker. Owens appears to be running routes with ease... After catching several passes and running various routes, T.O. speaks to the media...admits he knows about the speculation in the media about his injury and how serious it is...says he won't let that pressure force him back on the field too early. He took several questions, answered all of them, and from everything I heard...there was nothing for anyone to read between the lines...at least in my opinion. 8:30pm-Jamie Lent, Nic Gregory, Craig Smoak, and I are headed for our annual "KTBB Putt-Putt Training Camp Championship". Jamie Lent has won this title once before, and "I think" I'm the defending champion. I actually hate putt-putt, and you'll find out why in a moment. 9:15pm-Craig Smoak dominates early-and-often and hammers the field by 6-strokes to win his first-ever and coveted "KTBB Putt-Putt Training Camp Championship". C-Smoak fires a 51, easily blowing away the runner-up Lent (57), I'm humiliated with a 60, and Gregory, showing his nerves with his first appearance in this event, ends up with a 63. This is a tough way for Nic to leave training camp...he departs for home tomorrow afternoon. I do think Nic's had an incredible and memorable trip...attending practice, the Parcells press conference's, hanging with the media horde, and having the chance to meet his favorite Cowboy player, Roy Williams. He was also in the Hayes RV Luxury Suite today when Drew Bledsoe dropped by... Jamie, Craig, Mike Laroux, and I have another day of training camp...then it's pack-it-up and head home on Friday. That's it for tonight, at least until I find a way to circumvent the putt-putt scores.

[Hidden Content] West Brook, Ozen volleyball teams ready for season BEAUMONT - Her voice carried through the quiet West Brook gymnasium Wednesday afternoon. It took Rebecca LaBauve a moment to gather her thoughts but once she began to speak she talked excitedly about her team's efforts. The first-year volleyball coach stood on the sideline while she carefully gripped a volleyball as she addressed her players. LaBauve practically cast beams of light on the players that surrounded her as she repeated "keep your eyes on the ball." "Keeping your eyes on the ball is one of many things that players need to do in practice and in games," LaBauve said. "During practice we concentrate most of our time on the fundamentals of the game." The Bruins, who practice only once a day, spend three hours during their afternoon practices working on conditioning and the fundamentals of the game. "The girls have been working very hard," LaBauve said. "They came out the first day of practice very gung-ho. They have been really good about working hard. One of there goals is to make the playoffs so they are willing to work to achieve that goal." LaBauve was an assistant at Ozen before she took over as the West Brook varsity coach. Prior to joining the Panthers program last year, she was the head coach at Kelly High School for five years. LaBauve replaces former coach Shawn Shackelford who will begin the Atascocita volleyball program, which is in its first year of existence. West Brook and Atascocita will open the District 21-5A season on Sept. 8 in Humble. "I am really excited about being here," LaBauve said. "One of my goals is to help lead the team to the playoffs. This group of kids have never made it to the playoffs so we are trying to build up the program to make it happen." The Bruins return five players from last year's squad. Seniors Katie Shumaker, Ashley Thomas, Chassity Hancock, Shamara Pinson, and sophomore Katie Michaelson all return to help lead the Bruins back to the playoffs. "We are in a new district with a different alignment," LaBauve said. "We don't have Spring or Westfield in our district but we still have some pretty good teams and we have to be prepared for when the district season rolls around." Across town in the Pear orchid neighborhood, Ozen coach Shy Randle watched closely as her players served to one another on the court. It was just one of many drills that the Panthers went through during their afternoon practice. Randle opted for her team to practice twice a day, with the Panthers first practice scheduled from 6 a.m. to 8. Players return to the school's gym for a two-hour evening practice from 6 p.m. to 8. "We focus on conditioning and fundamentals in practice," Randle said. "The girls have been real positive and have had a good attitude in practice. In the past we have had to work on the mental aspect of the game but this team doesn't have that problem. They all have fun personalities. They do things without me having to tell them what to do. I am really going to enjoy coaching them this season." Jerlessa King, Jasmine Wells, Jaila Carvin, Michelle Jenkins, and Sojourner Brown return from last year's second round playoff team. Klein Oak defeated Ozen 3-1 in the second round of the Class 4A playoffs last season. The Panthers will get their first opportunity to see how well their team works together in their first scrimmage on Friday. Ozen will host a five-team scrimmage that begins at 1 p.m. Friday at Ozen. The scrimmage continues on Saturday at 10 a.m. Ozen, Memorial, West Orange-Stark, Orangefield, and Central will all compete in the two-day scrimmage. "I have high expectations for the team and they have high expectations for themselves," Randle said. "They are really getting after it and that's what it takes if you want to make a deep run in the playoffs."

Dang i bet you are upset.

I caught part of it, was a good one.

Wait until Scooter reads this!

:shock: You ain't kidding! That one will be huge.

It just pisses me off that Schools like SE La. can have football and Lamar can't??????????

I've always been a Garner fan even when he played.

Tatum will go D1 and will most likely win it!! Newton may go D2 though.

We're hoping to have it broadcasted on our webpage, streaming!

Thanks on the MSU flags.

Jacovin Buckner to stay at Memorial. Thanks to Coach Henderson for the report.

Thanks!! Need that MSU flag on my sig!!

Who is the best? Who is the best football player to come out of your school ? Try and stick to one.
