Whew....well, I agree with several posts on here. I think that this football team could be a good thing for Orange. The Lake Charles team's owner should be notified as should the league's committee (if there is one). If a police officer who was being PAID to do a job wasn't...well, I guess the only thing that you could do is not hire him again and spread the word to others about his "lax" style. Whoever organized the event is ultimately responsible for the behavior/actions of everyone in attendance. That's just the way it is. No excuses. Just be responsible, apologetic and try to rectify the situation (if given another chance).

Mustangs!!! Mustangs!!! Mustangs!!! Just to think...it all starts in a few weeks!!! ;D ;D

Why eat BC crow when you are from BC? Arguing over who'll start over the other? Silliness...

Straight from the Mustang's mouth... Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2007 2:37 pm on www.wo-s.com I would like to start by saying I appreciate all of the support on this board, setxsports board, and to all of the people who have been calling. I was offered a position in the Iowa State staff last friday morning. This was an offensive quality control coaching position. Do to the fact that it was so close to the start of the 07 season, I decided to turn down ISU and honor my commitment to Coach Olin and Baytown Lee. I do appreciate all of your support, and I wish the Mustangs the best of luck in 2007. I would appreciate if someone would put this post on SETXSPORTS, because I don't have an account over there. GOOD LUCK STANGS!! Former All State Player/ Former Coach, Toby Foreman "The time to worry is before you place the bet, not after you spin the wheel." DRH

Lest we forget Josh Glosten, Timmy Matherne, and a numerous other athletes, especially seniors.

Cardinal Supporter...excellent post. Those two reasons should be the primary reasons parents attend practices. There is nothing worse than having a child injured on the field or anywhere else (in an extracurricular sport) and not have a parent there.

All the talent in the world means absolutely nothing if you can't DISCIPLINE those oh-so-talented-athletes. That's what Coach T represents and expects. Discipline is far more successful than just talent alone.

Well...we had the same stuff happen at our school for the last couple of years. Sadly...this screams...GET A LIFE PARENTS and leave your kids and their coaches alone. IMO, most of these same parents fall into that "I-didn't-make-it-as-a-football-player-so-let-me-try-to-live-my-dreams-through-my-children" category. I agree with the post that all kids should be given the opportunity to play through 8th grade and then after that...ability, determination, and commitment should take over and get them playing time in high school.

Praying for you from WO-S. Hope all goes well. God Bless all who were involved!

Both Coach T and Coach Hooks are great coaches...it just won't be the same without Coach Foreman (Mark....but, yes...Tobe too). As for the playcalling...are you saying 95% overall plays are called by Coach T? Unfortunately, I would have to disagree with you there because I think that if he did...the decisions would have been a little more thought out than they have been.

We're not much younger than we are most years. They find their niche.

WO-S... by a nose and a lap!!!

I have noticed some schools who don't pad up alot during any practice.

Adrian Steen was good. What about Earnest Anderson?

While Terrence Brown was a good athlete... I just don't think that he is in the same class with Cleve. JMO

I have worked in the substance abuse field and handled UAs. I didn't think that the final results took this long, so my next question is...when were the samples obtained? If it was not in March or April (when all of this came to light), then the powers that be could have saved their time, money, and resources. As for the testing beginning this school year... the news tonight stated that the testing may be postponed until after football season because of the insufficient amount of time there is and OTC supplements possible testing false-positive. HMMMMMM.....if you don't test for football season...what's the point. As I stated earlier...they need to keep on track because anyone who is an athlete and who has a coach worth anything will educate their athletes about the risk of any of these supplements causing them to fail a drug test. It amazes me just how efficient our lawmakers are...SARCASM, of course. ???

I say that the UIL should keep its original timeline... The same kids/parents who can afford all of these OTC supplements and boosters have access to the internet and other media outlets so this is a lame excuse to postpone the testing. Also, if the coaches want a football team or those "star" athletes to be eligible during their season...then they will do their part to "educate" the athletes and their parents. HERE'S ONE SOLUTION KIDS/PARENTS: Get in the weight room, hit the track, eat healthier and foods that will build some bulk. It's called the OLD-FASHIONED WAY!!! Anything "supplemental" is not natural and just shouldn't be. Need PROTEIN...RAW EGGS, EGG-SHAKES, EGGS, MEAT....

Injuries? Early in the season? Mental mistakes? WOW...I'm glad that someone told me that these were factors in teams' seasons. I was REALLY under the impression that these never happen to anyone. Whew.... Anyway...We all agree that the playcalling could use some TWEAKING, but in district...those plays have served WO-S well. Hopefully, some things can be learned from mistakes made in the past and if they are not...I just don't know... Why were you in our stands and not watching BC? ???

Happy Birthday to the two of you!!! I guess that means we get this Sunday and next Sunday off, right!!! That might give AggiesAreWe a second chance to get another Hooters gift card!!!

Hey Cardfan...I guess it is supposed to sound good. Remember, they are zero tolerance and have handled this situation superbly. It's nice to see that someone from the inside is not afraid or in complete denial to speak up about stuff that happens in BC. Don't get me wrong...I don't like to see any school look bad, but when a situation like this happens (just like the cheerleader hazing and Veteran's Memorial vandalism), lessons should be learned because believe it or not...it's not just going to be a lesson for those kids alone. There are many kids who get on here and read these threads, so if a mistake is made...let it not be in vain because this is a serious issue that needs to be talked about WITH ALL KIDS IN ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS BY EVERYBODY!!! I still don't understand the issue with the TIMING...can someone explain that one to me? As I stated before, I find the lack of timing suspicious since school and all of the sports' seasons are completed. Finally, when the mandatory steroid testing begins...will it take over 4 months to get the results back from Austin? If it does...seems kinda like it defeats the whole purpose.

WO-S is pretty consistent in yielding talent and athletes most years. Don't get me wrong, there have been a few...but, not many. I think we're good for the next several years though!!! 8)

WO-S 2006 and 2005!!!

It wouldn't have mattered because most of the threads addressing the issue were short-lived. : Most of the people around here have known about it. I am really confused about the "timing" of the article that keeps being discussed. What TIMING? Timing would have been in April (actually, shortly after the district track meet because this was discussed at the regional track meet in the stands). I, too, wonder why it wasn't made "public" in the news media until now?

They have a really great coach in Tobe Foreman!! I know we miss him here in Mustang-land. ;D
