No one has blamed anyone for anything. We are discussing the possible situations if Dan were to retire. Are you trying to take this in another direction? ??? [/quote]Come on now you dont remember all the stang supporters on here bashing the ex oc in past losses in the playoffs? I'm not trying to take this in any direction I was just asking a question. This thread was apparently started because WOS had a loss in the first round, I think they had a great year considering the underclassmen on the team. [/quote] This thread doesn't have anything to do with the loss, but has to do with the end of another season. There has been talk for several years about Dan retiring. I think it is a logical question and has nothing to do with blame about a loss. I agree with you, I thought we played well at times and am looking forward to next year.

1, to 5A Memorial.

Orange don't offer the same things as the Austin area, DFW, or Houston The list would maybe be long, but I don't think there would be lots of big time, proven coaches out there want this job. [/quote] Agreed.  There won't be many "big names" scrambling to a 3A school. [/quote] If Dan does retire, it needs to come from inside. Cornel Thompson knows the kids and the community and should be the obvious heir apparent. He would stay here until he retires. Then, possibly, T Foreman after that. If they were to screw that up and go outside, not only would the program suffer, but the AD position would become nothing but a revolving door where coaches trying to make a name for themselves will spend a few seasons to try and win a few games to bolster their resume then move on. It happens all over Texas.

For those of you who hav never been there. This stadium is one of the nicest around. Great food there! It will be a treat.

[quote name="Slam14" post="708790" timestamp="1258301960"] The scary part for wos is that if the fans feel that the school board and officials are making bad decisions and overriding what Hooks wants (after all the things he has done for the school)...then what do you think things will be like when Hooks retires and the board "hand picks" who they want to replace him?  [/quote] THAT is the scary part!

[quote name="bleed orange" post="708164" timestamp="1258245022"] I agree stang4life. Good post. Athletics is more than the sport. It is about life. I have disagreed with you in the past and always will on certain issues but we are on the same page with this one. It is about making boys into men. Some people will never understand because until you have been there you won't. [/quote] This is why I like you Bleed! Good post S4L, as always!

Why does every post about anything  happening over there, be it kids getting in trouble or them OMG losing a football game, devolve to this same tired conversation? [/quote] It is not tired, something needs to be done. I left the district because of overemphasis on anything but sports. There are good folks there, both white and black and they deserve better. Most would move if they could afford to do so. Football amounts to a diversion to real troubles in the school. They need a new Supt. or Trustees or someone to save that district. If things don't change, TEA is going to come to town and shake things up. [/quote] WOW!!  They lose one football game and the beheadings begin.  Before the game was even over there was talk of the possibility of the no more Hooks.  Now we are not only getting rid of Hooks but the other coaches and  the Supt., the trustees the board members, the administration, and probably before its over a few teachers.  Whos's next??  Hey does anyone have any dirt on the Janitors or the Cafeteria lady?  I bet thats whos really to blame here!! [/quote] Seriously Ryker? None of these conversations were started by WOS people so don't even try going down that road.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="707621" timestamp="1258223353"] I will agree to meet in the middle, Gas. ;) ;D 17 returning starters, not 15, nor 19. ;) [/quote] I will agree with that.

[quote name="indian24-7" post="708455" timestamp="1258256804"] Liberty vs Qrangefield= Liberty all the way..... [/quote] Open mouth, insert foot... 2009 Week 3- Orangefield 48, Liberty 27  ::) Yeah, Liberty all the way... ::) :o

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="707268" timestamp="1258182778"] According to the roster I had tonight, WOS had 6 senior starters, not 3. Throw in Franks and that's 7 seniors that start that will be lost. I counted 15 returning starters. [/quote] Aggies, Franks only played 5 games, a junior started in his place... We only had 2 full time starters on offense that were seniors, #85 and #53. Haynes played in spots and played more last night on offense than usual, but he didn't start. On defense, 2 of the 5 seniors that started have been out for several weeks with injuries so Sophomores started in their place as well. For about half of the season, you only had 3 (and 2 a few games) seniors starting on defense and 2 on offense.

[/quote] What happened in '86? ;D Like I said in another post...The route to the quarterfinals is not that bad.Not any real overpowering teams until you get there.Any team in our bracket (with a few exceptions ) has a shot. [/quote] this ain't gonna to be a repeat of 86.  guaranteed!   ;D [/quote] Judging by the smile, I'm assuming that he means that we will not get the chance to play Jasper again in the qtr finals more than he is downing our chances.

Go 22-3A!!!

[quote name="bedelmon" post="705847" timestamp="1258123778"] Basically what you have at HJ is a "Basketball" mentality. We just happen to have an exceptional group of boys that love to play football. Our boys had waited all year to play the mighty "WOS" to see where they stood and someone took that away from them. I know alot of boys on that team including my two boys, were pissed. Parents, including myself, were not happy about the whole deal. heck, I guess if you want to go by what your team did against another team, why dont we use Silsbee as the one to measure by. WOS beat Silsbee 22-0 but HJ 7th "A" beat the same team 28-0. And Orangefield was basically the same score when we played them and when you played'em. [/quote] I have spoken with one of your coaches and I do understand that it was the call of the sup. I also believe that you guys wanted to play, I am not one of those who feel that you didn't play because you were "scared". Like you, our kids wanted to play... bad! I didn't want there to be any doubt, either way... I feel like BOTH teams got robbed.

[quote name="VNUPE" post="705375" timestamp="1258072288"] I have a son who plays on the 7th grade team. If I recall correctly HJ cancelled out on us because they THOUGHT is was going to rain. That day we didn't get a drop the entire day. I myself think it was pre-game jitters. Make sure that the HJ coaches keep their day jobs because they surely wouldn't make it as meteorologists!!! :D :D :D :D [/quote] Actually Nupe, it was the HJ Superintendent that made that call. Not the coaches. Just an FYI.

[quote name="#1stangfan" post="704722" timestamp="1257998691"] Wow I love the irony Pirates73.  Your signature says "its all about the kids" but you want WO-S to lose so that Hooks can hang his head low. [/quote] OMG... I noticed the same thing and was about to post exaclty what you did, then I read your post. Nice catch! I love busting hypocrisy!

[quote name="the-riot07" post="704567" timestamp="1257989699"] Man whats gotten into the mustang fans? WOW we lose 2 games early in the season and all of a sudden were not even good enough to beat a team from a terrible district that we wal all over year after year! Yeah they might be a little bit better this year but i heard the same bs last year about their awesome running game and what happened? we hit them in the mouth and they rolled over and played dead! I was on the semi finals mustang team and im telling ya'll that this kinda team we have this year is the most dangerous! We dont have that go to guy for someone to stop! We have that go to team! Ya'll can say what ya'll want to but i know what we have this year and we are clicking on all cylinders and are ready for a LONG run!!!! Watch and see!!! [/quote] I'm with ya, bro. I want to believe too and, like I said, I think we may get there (or be there). If we go out and take this game like I am hoping we will, I will be convinced. ;)

td, let me know if this happens... when and where.

[quote name="bedelmon" post="704861" timestamp="1258036666"] You WOS guys and gals get on here and start declaring yourselves as champions. Then there are the ones that get on here and start saying everyone is scared of WOS. My gripe is, how can you declare yourselve champions without playing everyone? How can you declare yourselves champions without a playoff, or a championship game? There are all sorts of variables that come into play when teams play each other. Thats why we play the game. If you had played us, maybe the first play your best player goes down and we capitalize? Maybe our best goes down and you beat us 150-0? Or maybe our defense works better against your offense than it did against HF. You just dont know. [/quote] In MS you do not have playoffs or a championship game, in fact, you don't have that at any sub varsity level. You compare records and the best record wins district. WOS had the best record 7th and 8th grade. If you don't want to recognize it then don't. If you don't get to play all of your schedule then you go by the best record just like you do in any other sport. I have been around football, baseball, softball (you name it) all of my life, as a player AND coach and I have never heard of an "incomplete season". And yes, we have had games canceled and not made up. If a game gets canceled, then it gets canceled. That doesn't mean there isn't a champion.

[quote name="GUNHO" post="704121" timestamp="1257952308"] Ain't that the truth.They are all going to be tough Gas.No cake walk this year to start. [/quote] Don't get me wrong. I feel we have the talent to win. We just have to keep getting better like we have been. You never know how a team is going to react to the playoffs.

[quote name="bedelmon" post="704083" timestamp="1257948449"] How old are you? Like 12? [/quote] Why? Because I stated the obvious? You made a statement and I replied to it. Is that all you have in return is to question my age? LOL

This is going to be a tough one.

WOS- 53 HF-0. A week later HF- 26 HJ- 6. Looks like we did play the one team that had that potential...
