This is music to my ears. I have hoped you fools in Hardin would begin to turn on Barrier so he would pack his stuff and take that incredible son of his somewhere where he has a real chance to shine. Fools is what you guys have always been and it is what you will always be. Someone already mentioned it, but Anthony Morgan could've been a Hornet, but alas, his father wasn't good enough for you guys. This story will end the same. You guys can sit at Hardin grocery and talk about how the kid was "almost a Hornet" while you recycle Haynes for the 10,000th time. Geez

This seems like a good prediction. LCM is on the come up, but Huffman is already there.

What made you think that?

Can Barrier start his 8th grade son at QB for Hardin Varsity? That kid is the best player in that program and may end up being the best player Hardin has ever seen if they can keep Barrier at Hardin. Good luck with that though. I feel some other power programs in the state may be offering Ned OC positions in the next year or so.

Scat, clearly you are part of the problem in Tarkington. I do not believe for one second that Bass M-F'd kids at halftime. He was always going to be a short timer in Tarkington and the only way that would've changed was if the community rallied around the program and things began to change. Clearly that didn't happen and was never going to happen. I am sure you will enjoy him being the head coach of successful 5A and 6A programs into the future while Tarkington continues to be what they've always been.

Surely youre not talking about Bass.

I think they are just above the threshold.

Ned Barrier, man. I've been trying to tell y'all.

Think they'll get past NS?

HTX by as many as they want.

Yes, a variety player should have their name on their jersey, I agree. As far as a High School Varsity player, not so much. Kids used to earn that privilege in college, but now they get it as far down as pee wee league. There's literally nothing in the world left for kids to have to earn which is at the root of the degradation of our society.

At this point, I’d say it’s a safe bet that Hd ducked Hardin. Coach Birdwell has already lost a game and was being second guessed at every turn, so a loss to Hardin at Hardins HC wouldn’t have bode well for him moving forward. Easy decision when covid was around creating a soft off ramp

Your first line indicated you do not think he is putting players in a position to be successful. What exactly does he need to "tighten up" with only one game played this season, with the starting QB out?

Man, Coach Bird has gone from returning hometown hero to a poor evaluator of personnel with one loss. Geez, not much leash being given to such a beloved guy. Hope he is not already second guessing leaving a really good situation in Jasper to take on an uphill battle. Good luck Bobcats.

It is interesting that HD is still in school and this game is canceled due to COVID. Maybe it was cancelled due to QB, RB and others being hurt, and a few COVID positives causing the team to not have enough players to play. At least, that is what I am hoping. It was lining up to look like a Hardin win, so I hope HD wasn't ducking that potential. Especially on Hardin's homecoming.

This was going on long before Biden took office. The program began a downward spiral somewhere around 2005 ish.

Maybe the first time in history that Hardin is heavily favored over HD on this board. Sad times.

I would say that is equally as distasteful as what we've been discussing here.

You're right warden. I shouldn't have popped the top on ol Walt, but that HF thing really rubbed me the wrong way. Kinnebrew is a good coach and to be discredited as strictly a "football guy" who was hired because he had connections, by another finalist for the job was bush league. Yates should have been happy to even be considered based on what I know about his past in txhsbb. Either way, I'm off of it.

Ok, I really don't know why this is bothering me so much, but it is what it is I guess. I don't have time this evening, but I'll be back tomorrow and I will post my case for why you are "Walt", along with receipts that IMO prove my point. Once that has been done, I'll be done with this and will take my happy behind back to the football board where I belong.

I've never said you couldn't coach. I never even said you shouldn't post. I've known you were you since the first time I saw JayBilas post after the death of DickieV (RIP). The only thing I've taken exception to is you disparaging the HF hire in public forum after you didn't get the job. Literally one of the most classless things I've ever seen, and you cloaked it in your "defense" of the other candidates. That's my issue with you.

Bingo.....and it worked! lol
