On a serious note. It’s a far cry from the old days. Waking up, reading what Bob West or Tom Halliburton wrote up Tuesday through Friday. The area coverage definitely isn’t what it once was. The rivalry is a lot calmer than it once was… I had a hand in burning some strategic letters on a certain field. But this game never goes as planned, other than the Ethridge years, Malone years, and Neauman years. So I expect it to be a battle from beginning to end. No prediction, because this game is simply unpredictable…… I do think it’s a huge game for Monte. But we are getting closer.

It’s Mid County Madness Eve! Remember to put out 5-gallon cowboy hats and cigars so Bum Philips brings you presents.

I just hope ya’ll remembered to run electricity to the press box so we can charge our ipads

It cycles. Something will change and one or both of the Beaumont schools will get better. The sad thing is Beaumont Central used to take the locals schools behind the woodshed all the time. Even Ozen got its licks in sometimes. It’s weird that combining them made them worse. And we all know Westbrook can be better than they are. The pendulum will swing one of these days and we’ll be talking about another Westbrook playoff run. But, Beaumont ISD administrators needs to get off their self-serving, myopic, arrogant butts and hire a real coaching staff, not just some guy who used to coach in Beaumont who everyone is friends with.

Atmosphere 

And we can’t forget Vidor vs Nederland. Not only the most intense rivalry in Texas, but the greatest love story of all time. 

Just past by stadium the turf is getting pulled up now  dogs will be playing on a mud field  no grass! Lol!! Just like old times

Should get your wish, Coach Morgan said before last season he would like to keep Png and Ned on in non-district. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Silsbee/Jasper. This one goes back farther than any in SETX. The most intense rivalry and there is no love lost. The stories on this rivalry will make your toenails curl and you can’t make this stuff up. 

… and the others don’t last 365 days a year including every sport down to youth sports and if they added tiddlywinks to the UIL extracurricular activities, people on both sides would show up to watch.
 

Png vs Pam is becoming a good 1.

The Silsbee-West Orange-Jasper triangle has some of the great local  rivalries. 

I have heard conflicting stories. Word around the water cooler is the secret practice is only a diversion. There will be a midnight session at Bobby’s Homestyle, word is Coach Klein is giving his secret playbook to MB. However Uncle Larry will be handing it over. Now the key to this is it is all on an IPAD. So this could be interesting if he cannot smuggle the IPAD in the game. I have been told the Nederland drumline will be beating on garbage cans to steal signals for the defense. So after hearing all this, the spread has tightened up. Should be a pick ‘em by game time. And yes, City of Nederland will be issuing a no water usage statement  on Thursday for a 4 mile radius around Bullpup Stadium. This will allow the fire department to soak the new turf. Supposed to have a prominent member of the city council make an announcement as early as tomorrow on the cost to the taxpayers of Nederland. His closing statement will be, this is your tax money, not your daddy’s money!

Roschon still having nightmares of that night… 😉

Rumor has it, Coach Barrow and team will hold a midnight “practice” to install sprinklers on turf field. Will run all four quarters. Barrow heard muttering, “It worked on Roschon. It worked on Roschon!”

"Evolve or Dissolve"...BISD refuses to do this and this is the result of it! Sad to say but Beaumont don't have a clue on what it takes to run a successful athletic program, they're literally 20 years behind most programs. From facilities, offensive/defensive schemes they're running, systems that's in place, admin etc etc.

WOS vs their own Coaches?
Bridge City vs winning?

Yes, it happens,
in the Early 2000's Ozen was a great program, producing D-1 athletes, even with Brook taking a lot of their athletes. They did sputter after Brooks left, I believe, but still had some good years and good teams.  
Central was always a powerhouse with probably some of the best athletes in in the State, I definitely seen them take a lot of teams to the woodshed. but like stated in another thread I believe Coaching failed this team more times than not. 
Westbrook most years was the top team in the area, a few of Rabbs years we're below expectations but for majority of the time the only reason they weren't playing deep into December was due to playing in Texas 5A and later on 6A but was still able to make it to the final game. Still an all Brook has produced.
 
Like you stated I can't see both schools becoming like a La Marque or Galveston Ball, but still I wouldn't be surprised, there has been a large exodus of athletes out of Beaumont.

I understand stadium seats, but some people want to bring their whole living room. They take up so much space. I don’t think they should be allowed for this game. It’s going to be standing room only; leave your throne at home.

Why did they stop the seating on the track in this game??
