Let’sGetAlong

I wondered the same thing and the answer is ABSOLUTELY YES! I WILL NOT watch the NFL week 1 and possibly not all season. Maybe I am wrong, but if the black people are trying to bring light to, and end the racism that they see and feel, isn’t playing a Black National Anthem creating more division?

Don’t they play 10 games? So you are saying 8-3 as their final record? If they beat EC and Anahuac I would hope they get past the first round since they will be district champions.

I didn’t realize the current National Anthem was only for white people.

Has there ever been a perfect week?

Not just 0-2, but 0-2 against the SEC. Some posters that are UT fans were talking some trash about the SEC during the Regionals. I don't care about conferences, but it's hard to argue that they have been and continue to be the best in college baseball.

Does speed equal athleticism?

Hmmmmm. Are we talking about all time history or recent history? In my time here HJ has been better than Kountze in pretty much every sport and academics. I may be wrong but isn't HJ one of the top academic schools in the area?

You are correct...that is not a fantastic record. However, don't you think being successful is a little bit deeper than just winning and losing? He may be a good football coach...he may not be. I don't know but I'm not going to judge him on his win loss record at a school that traditionally does not win much in football. I thought he was the coach when they broke that playoff drought years back. AHuddleston says that was under Franklin, but wasn't Joubert the coach when they returned to the playoffs the next year? If you want to win, you have to have athletes. Bill Belichick was 36-44 in five years with the Browns. 214-74 with the Patriots over 18 years. Is he that much better of a coach since he left Cleveland? I'm sure he's better because of experience, but it has just been a better situation with some great players along the way. Point is, Joubert has had a good season with some athletes. Maybe it was a fluke? Maybe it was the only time he has been able to field kids where they weren't completely outmatched? Maybe his win/loss record would be completely different in a different situation. Do you think he would have the same win/loss record over the past four years if he was the head coach at WOS? No, he would be in the playoffs making deep runs because the level of athletes (not saying he would have made it to the title game). Maybe he would do better there. Maybe not, but I don't think he would do much different than Martel and Sloan.

Have you followed Kountze football? In the 15 years I have lived here, I believe their only successful seasons have come under Joubert. Isn't HJ more of a basketball school? With that said, I do not think he will be there unless he wants to stop coaching basketball, they already have a basketball coach.

Agreed. I think it's an absolute disgrace, especially with him being the assistant last year. If you want to replace him, do it after the season. Zero character to go in and make a move like that. It doesn't matter to me if the community is not upset about it or not. There is a particular way you should treat people and this is not the right way. What did you just teach all of those young men?

True. So, I look at it how I said it before. You put RJ on Newton and take Barlow off, I say they still win state. Take RJ off PNG and put Barlow on they don’t get out of the first round. I don’t have a dog in this fight. I was mainly stating you winning state shouldn’t guarantee the award over someone that had a year with video game numbers.

Well my coach is retired and from Virginia so I don’t think he could weigh in on this matter. I have no connections to PNG. If you think Barlow is a better QB than RJ you are just being a homer. Never said PNG wouldn’t be better with Barlow. I said they would would not be better with him than they were with RJ. Barlow would play on the PNG team no doubt, but not QB. So, in my opinion, I would give the award to RJ. When comparing the two, who would you put at QB if they were on the same team?

I agree with you and I find that unfortunate. It sounds to me this should be an individual award with consideration how the team did. It would be hard to give the award to an athlete that had tremendous numbers but team did not make the playoffs (but it should be possible). I think it's safe to say if you put RJ on Newton or WOS they are both state champions this year. Barlow is obviously a very good player, but I don't think he makes the PNG team better than they were with RJ.

Did the final results ever come out? I was doing well but had a disastrous last two weeks...
