I'm sure a lot of them simulcast like KJAS does for now, but I think you're right. It'll die out eventually at the high school level. Radio is still very big at the college and pro levels.

I like Scott Loar, who is the commentator that Jasper brought in most of the time, but he goes over the top even for a homer. Ron Vickers has gotten better doing play-by-play, but he struggles a bit with what's happening at times. It's not a shot at either of them, but just an objective observation. We were spoiled by one of the best local announcers around for 40 years. He's a hard act to follow. I don't know who does Silsbee's games now, but Mike was exceptional as was Gary Stelly in Orange. I'm an audiophile, so I listen to more games than I watch. We had three really good ones in SETX for a long time.

Yeah. I saw him do that many times at practice. He was our punter and could kick a 35-40 yard field goal if we ever needed to. Back then, we had a guy that had maybe 50-yard range that ended up kicking at Tulane. Anyway, there wasn't a thing in sports that Ben couldn't do better than most.

It was a good ballgame and that call made a difference, but Jasper needs to learn to persevere through stuff like that. We had opportunities to make plays and we didn't. I understand Coach Crumedy's frustration, but I'm sure he knows he could projected it in a better way. He'll be fine and so will those kids. That's just a tough one to lose.

Good game, Tigers! Hope both teams will go far enough to meet again!

That was uncalled for and I'm sure he's coached not to do that no matter what the situation is. Criticism goes with the territory. It would be the same for our kids in that situation. I'm sure he'll learn from it.

I know the rivalry as well as anybody and agree that it's huge for both schools. My point was that it might be bigger for us because expectations from people around SETX weren't that high going into the season and winning this district would signal great things for our program going forward. You guys are on track to contend for state and this game might not be as big as others down the road. I'd like to think that we could make a deep run also, but a lot would have to come together for us to be true contenders this year. Looking forward to chatting with you guys after the game on here. Go Dawgs!

True, but what they ran last year was a joke. I know they lost their OC right before the season started, but they couldn't run anything well. I think this year was about trying to get the younger kids used to what he runs. If he can find a true dual-threat quarterback, they'll score a ton of points. Does that contradict what I said before? Sure, but I think he'll adapt if his system bottoms out and the kids can't run it.

You would think that coaches value being in the best position to win over sticking to a system that doesn't suit the kids' strength as players. When you strip it down to the screws, it's the coaching staff's biggest job to help them be as successful as possible on and off the field. I like Coach Crumedy so much because the kids come first and he's committed to teaching them success in every way possible.

I trust Greg implicitly and I'll be watching from here in Albuquerque. This game feels huge for us even though Tiger Nation might not see it quite the same way. Go Dawgs!!

I wish they could find a way to play this a few hours earlier. There's a really good chance that the weather will escalate right around game time, according to The Weather Channel's hourly projections. Their forecast for Jasper specifically mentions the threat for severe weather and tornadoes.

Only need to win by one, my friend. I don't think it makes sense for anyone to compare scores against common opponents anyway. That's a futile fan exercise.

I know they want to make sure that the game is completed before the worst weather moves in, but they should also account for the Silsbee team and their fans' ability to get a bite to eat and get home, too. If it were me (thank goodness it's not), I'd move the start time back to 5 or 5:30. I know it's sacrilege to be compassionate to them at all, but maybe I'm growing up a little. 😂😂

The story of the Jasper-Silsbee Football Rivalry | Local Sports | kjas.com Interesting story about 1938. These schools have no love lost at all. They never have,

Yeah. There are always biases on both sides. We don't need any unnecessary controversy outside of the two teams not being that fond of one another. At least the fans/alums of both schools on this board get along really well. I'm thankful for that.

I'm ready for a much better season. Go Cards. (I'll never use "Peck 'Em". How harmless does that sound?)

Thanks for the info. There's a really good drainage system in Jasper, so the field will be fine. It's just a matter of whether there will be thunderstorms...like last time. We all remember that. LOL

Oh hell yeah! I miss that place!

The transitive property rarely matters in sports. It's all about matchups.

Cool man. It's likely that you're right, but we'll see.

They might make more noise in the postseason, but this game is a toss up,,,especially if it's played in the rain on Friday night.

A tiger dog? I like it!

Somebody DM me if you find out that Silsbee @ Jasper is moved up. Thanks.

Yikes. Good luck to the fightin', scrappin' Wolverines!

It's interesting to see how it all worked out. I didn't think we'd be in this position going into the season. A win against Silsbee would put the program ahead of schedule and be a great springboard to the postseason.
