Any word on PNG’s new starting qb? How does he look in practice?

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Silsbee won at WOS in 2009.

There’s funnel cake/corn dog stand at the intersection of 62 and 96 that is surprisingly good. Might shorten your life with a heart attack, but it’s pretty tasty.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

CT would have beaten PNG this year. WOS lost this year, in major part, because they don’t have the conditioning that used to push them over the edge and cancel out PNG’s depth advantage. CT would have fielded a tougher set of bodies.

Alright - Well, I have no more sympathy. West Orange fans (at least enough of them) begged for this. Play stupid games, win 58 stupid prizes.

You’re right. I swore they three-peated.

Wait - I must have had my head in the sand. There was an actual petition that full-grown humans signed to run off a guy who went 3-1 fours years in a row at state? I thought he just retired because he was getting older.

Silsbee is going to put up 90 if they want

This is a sad day in setx football.

I wish I was there

At least the players aren’t being harmed by being called the Chain Gang Defense anymore - a name that used to strike pride into WOS players’ hearts and fear into WOS’ opponents. We’re all so relieved they’re being protected from the nickname they gave themselves. Really a step forward for the program. (Sarcasm, if that’s not clear)

Let’s go WOS!!

This article misses an important point, at least as it relates to BU: If BU was 5aD1, they wouldn’t do much, or at all, better. It can’t all be blamed on having such a tough district. They’re not about to beat PAM or BH or Crosby. That’s a murderers’ row district too. I’m not sure they would be a playoff team, or even win a few games, in the local 5aD2 district, for that matter. Westbrook is a different story, but looking at size disparity alone leaves out the abysmal coaching and leadership situation at BU, and BISD football in general.

Sad for him. That’s got to be terribly disappointing.

That’s a problem. He’s the best athlete on the team. And, of course, that’s terrible for him having his senior season blown up like that. He was the difference maker getting us to state in just about every game last year.

Any word on WOS qb?

That was the worst call of the 2022 playoffs. Obviously off the knee.

After seeing our offense struggle so much against West Orange and PAM, I have to expect FBM to win this one. But, there’s two weeks; maybe PNG can figure out how to put up a few more points. And it’s a home game, so none of the silly “we need to cancel Friday and move to noon on Saturday” shenanigans. Whatever the outcome, it will be good prep for the rest of the season and the playoffs, a chance to get solid experience against size and speed.

If coach Thompson wanted to give me advice on how to tie my shoes, I’d take it. That any program, much less the one he brought to state four years in a row, would tell him no is crazy.

This might get me sent to a gulag, BUT : They need to call themselves the Chain Gang Defense again.

WOS

Stomachs didn’t fare much better IN the stadium

I don’t know. I thought it was about a week, but not so long a player can’t play the next week if they seem ok
